[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8373341, member: 508"] I finished [i]Birth of the Blade[/i] and it was a good read. I realized fairly early that this was a novel somewhere in the middle of a long line of novels by the same author set in the same world, but it was fairly standalone so that didn't bother me too much. And there were two young maidens who shared a habit I absolutely adored: when one was upset, she'd say "Oh, foof" and the other would instantly respond, "Skeek." (I gather this was something along the lines of, "Oh drat!" and "Oh drat right back at you.") I don't know why I like that as much as I do, but I do. So while I won't necessarily go out of my way to try to hunt up all of the other books in the series, if I ever stumble across one at a book sale I'll be sure to pick it up. Anyway, now I'm moving on to an old classic I've never gotten around to reading: [i]The Fellowship of the Talisman[/i] by Clifford D. Simak. It takes place on an alternate Earth, where the 20th century looks a lot like the Middle Ages, in part because every 500 years or so an army of "demons" shows up somewhere on Earth and burns everything they can to the ground, these incursions rarely lasting less than a decade at a time. Also, mythical creatures like goblins, fairies, banshees, and griffins exist and it sounds like the European civilization has yet to discover the Americas. I'm about 40 pages in and I'm enjoying it.
