[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7610905, member: 20564"] Been away on a business, so it was one physical books and some ebooks. Physical book was "The Rule of Luck" of Cathryn Cerveny. I was hording it in case my kindle died mid flight so I'm not finished. Everything is turned up a little too high - it took "go big or go home" very literally - but other than that is enjoyable. First eBook was The Wendy, a reimagining of Peter Pan. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially the narrative style. For all that it felt too short, adn the endign what what I would have expected for a "part 1" of a multi-part book, not the end of the first book in a series. But I'll definitely pick up the next part. Second was "The Sons Of Mil: The Innisfail Cycle". Not too far into it but grabbed a different book part way through - just wasn't in the mood. Not a problem with the book. There's a bit too much coincidence, and when in one scene a character has multiple bones broken in her hand and then it doesn't seem to come up again I notice these things. But will pick it back up. I have a weakness for well-plotted space navel battles. Though the Kindle Lending Library you can borrow one book a month. Well, they put in a trilogy of the Legacy Fleet series (currently 5 of so books) as one book, so I borrowed it. It was ... well, I'm glad I like space navel battles. The characters were of some interest, the plot didn't suck, the navel battles weren't insipid - if these all seem like damning faint praise you could be right. Call it a 5-6 out of 10. A bit too formulaic, not enough interesting tactics, more then a few continuity blips between books, far too "the heroes are heroes so they'll win" (including the "hero ship", which seems though 125 year old tech can't be replicated by all of human civilization which is pumping out literally hundreds of warships a month. *shrug* I'm on the third (they were short, my flights were long). It's worth finishing, but I doubt I'll buy the 4th+ of the series. [/QUOTE]
