What are you Reading? Debonnaire December 2019 edition

[dragoner]

I tried to read Frank Herberts Dune enough times to where his writing is strange, kind of out of sorts. But his Sons and Kevin J Anbersons Prequel to Dune were great. I read all 6 books.

I haven't re-read it in a while, I read up to God Emperor back in the day, then a few years back, re-read the series and continued up to Chapter House, I think. At one point I did read the book on the Butlertarian Jihad, but that was a while back, I have a friend who loved those.

Theres more beyond the 6 prequel books?

Six prequel books? Are you referring to the saga of seven suns because I'm really hoping I haven't missed a bunch of books in the middle...

Dont quote me but yes theyre 6 before the original Dune "Frank Herberts" books. In my opinion those prequels were so much more well written.

I'm so close to finishing Kevin J Anderson's the dark between the stars, book 1 of the saga of shadows. I probably would have finished it last night of not for me needing sleep so I can work the next day.

Didnt KJA write some Star Wars books?

Yeah 6, the Butlerian Jihad, and then the precursor to that. They were well worth reading.

Its the prequel (3) books and prelude (3) books to the original Dune books.

I think I've figured out where the confusion lies, the saga of shadows and saga of seven suns are a different sci fi series that he's written. Really well written. When I was reading the saga of 7 suns I was blowing through a book a day, I had trouble putting them down.

He did, I think his star wars books are where I first came across him. It wasn't until talking with my friend that I realised that he'd also worked on Dune novels. Until then I'd always thought they were Frank Herbert only.

Yeah, he wrote some of the NJO books. I read quite a few of the earlier books in the series.

The Lost Mark, of the Mark of Death Eberron series. The beginning was rough but it has gotten way better as it progressed. I'm enjoying it.

I read the first two books of that, but Kindle didn't have the last book of the trilogy for some reason, so I never read it. Queen of the Mark, I think it was called?
