The free copy of Feist's Into a Dark Realm that I won off SFX Magazine arrived today. Now to work up the enthusiasm for catching up with the series...

Was away for a week, and joy, books arrived.
Night of Knives...
Two Feist books, FLight of the Nighthawks and Into a Dark Realm (as someone said further up, quite a bargain at amazone.co.uk), and finally V for Vendetta.

Gardens Of The Moon, as I lost my old copy in a freak snowboarding accident.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Obdigore, am I obsessed with details, or was FotN the worst edited book ever? Never could make his mind up if the two Keshian princes were children or grandchildren to the Emperor, if Kaspar did or did not have a sister (at some point he muses about being a lone child), and constant ****-ups regarding left-right. Yeah, I read the entire book yesterday, started on Dark Realm now - 93 pages into it, it's ok. Nothing grand, but not as bad as the 3 books in The Conclave of Shadows - besides, why on earth is this a new series, "the darkwar", as it very extremely, constantly, ultimately, directly links to Conclave of Shadows series? It seems like an excuse to split the books into trilogies.

IaDR was okay, better edited than FotN atleast - allthough still some errors here and there. It didn't have the feel of a finishing story the way the other books have, and it clearly has to be read as part of the series. Still, Way better thant the Conclave books, I look forward to how this continues...

Yesterday:
The Jewels of Aptor, Samuel R Delany.
Old Man's War, John Scalzi
Snake Agent, Liz Williams
Those last two don't often turn up on UK bookstore shelves. I think the Waterstone's I go to has an employee who knows what they're doing, because they had them in--imported; american editions--along with several others (Paul Park, Lucius Shepard, etc) I didn't have the money to buy.
