Full-face shields and latex gloves are recommended.

I love the fact that he's got two, potentially four more books of this still to go.
Five if The Unholy Consult ever streets.

Might look to order 2 & 3 of PoN. Which is suspiciously similar to PorN.

It most definitely doesn't help that whilst I'm in the midst of this series I'm also watching Evangelion. Oh good lord.

Debut novel 'Incarnate' now available on Kindle

Finished up Warhammer End Times there last night. That was an interesting ending. GrimDark to the Grim'th degree.
It wasnt perfect but I liked it overall.

Got fed up after trying two books in a row that I didn't care for...and jumped back into Tad Williams with SHADOWMARCH.

Managed to squeeze in a few chapters of Ketty Jay 2 during my commute. Liking it much better than the first book. The orphanage caper was awesome. Like what he is doing with the Manes.

Skin Game. FINALLY. Seems like the wait between hardcover and mass market paperback releases is getting longer and longer.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Really good series. Classic Williams'.

I've read book 1 before (and enjoyed), but way back when it came out (I had the original 2001 trade paperback cover with Briony backed by Southmarch Castle), but it's been long enough that I forget large parts of it and I want to read the rest of the series finally so I've started at the beginning...but yeah I'm right back into it and loving Williams' immersive prose and worldbuilding.

Agreed. Though now I do get some pure awesomeness of reading the mmpbs for "Words of Radiance" and "skin Game" back to back...

Have you read Otherland? I'd be interested in your take on it.

It will be up after I get through the 4 SHADOWMARCH books. So probably later in the summer? I'll definitely let you guys know what I think.

I want to catch up with Williams' Bobby Dollar series and then I'll start on Otherland as well. THat just might keep me busy until I decide to reread Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn in anticipation of the new book. 2015, the year of Williams...
