[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6932565, member: 22424"] As anticipated, I didn't quite get through as much as I'd hoped. "Storm King's Thunder" went on much as it started - a good setting book, a disappointing adventure. I have a full review on the site. "The Thrushmoor Terror" was rather enjoyable - I'm definitely getting a kick out of this latest Pathfinder AP. Good stuff! "Notes From a Small Island" was good fun, and an easy read. I'm now tempted to get Bryson's latest book, to see how his impressions of Britain have changed in the last quarter century. "The Radiant Dragon" was also good. Each Spelljammer novel has actually been an improvement on the previous one, though it's weird seeing characters appear, disappear for a novel, and then randomly appear in the next - it's a similar effect to seeing so many 'names' in the Star Wars prequels, in that the impression is that the universe is actually remarkably small. And "The Night Manager" was also good. Quite different from the TV show in places (especially the end), and really quite grim. But enjoyable for all that. That leaves "Morgawr", which probably has the distinction of being the weakest novel I've read all year. I'm about two-thirds of the way through now, but unfortunately am not going to get it finished today. I've also read most of "Tome of Beasts" this month, with about 60 pages still to go. It's great - but I'll do a full review once I'm finished. [/QUOTE]
