Monte Cook is writing a fantasy novel

[Frostmarrow]

Will you pick it up sight unseen?

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

There are very, very few authors whose books I'll pick up sight-unseen.

I said I'd wait for reviews, but it'd be more accurate to say I'll wait for reviews and for the chance to read blurbs and see what it's about.

And I also need to know if it's a stand-alone or the first of a series. I'm so sick of everything being "book one of 247."

(Oh, and Frostmarrow? "I don't remember ramming a skewer through my head...")

 

[takyris]

No. I read "Glass Prison", and while I loved the ideas, the voice and the pacing were pretty clumsy. His new book could definitely be worth a read, but it'll be one that I read a bit of in the store first to see if his style has picked up.

 

[Umbran]

If I can't see it, I can't read it, so no.

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

If I can't see it, I can't read it, so no.

Braille, baby. Read and watch a movie at the same time.

 

[crazy_cat]

No, I will decide after the reviews

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

If Tolkien (J.R.R. that is) came back from the dead and wrote a new book I wouldn't read it without knowing anything about it, so why would I read Monte's book just because of his name?

 

[Ry]

Sorry, did you say R. Scott Bakker? No? Then no.

Although Congrats to Monte and I am terribly envious of all his success.

If it was an audio download I could get from my library, then yes. That's my current source of new fiction that I use on my commutes. Reading at home I have a ton of fiction books I haven't gotten to that I want to so I'm not looking for new physical fiction books to add to the pile.
