[QUOTE="Elodan, post: 7188491, member: 8006"] Updated with everything since my post in the July thread. Finished reading [I]Ready Player One[/I] by Ernest Kline. Decent read, a little too much tell not show. Sections read like a reference manual to the 80s. The [I]Key to the Coward's Spell[/I] by Alex Bledsoe (an Eddie LaCrosse short story). Really good, made me want the next book in the series (assuming he's writing one). [I]Catalyst [/I]by James Luceno. A Rogue One prequel that tells the story of how the Ersos get involved with Krennic in the first place. Decent read but nothing special. [I]Gears of Faith[/I] by Gabrielle Harbowy. A Pathfinder tales novel that was rather unfocused and didn't have much of a fantasy feel to it. Read more like a romance novel. [I] Moon Wreck: First Contact[/I] by Raymond L Weil. Picked this up as a freebie on my Kindle a while back. Had to stop about halfway in. It read like a sixth grader's essay. Grammer was too distracting. Read a bunch of sample chapters on the Kindle but didn't pick anything up. Now reading [I]Dark Intelligence[/I] by Neal Asher. I almost put the book down because the first few chapters had too much technobabble. It got more interesting but it's back to the point that I'm contemplating putting it back down. I'm also reading the lore sections of the Sword Coast Adventure's Guide (read the cruch stuff a while back). They did a really nice job with it. I like the book a lot. Feels like it's been a long time since I've read a really good science fiction or fantasy novel. [/QUOTE]
