This one is not quite so bad. At least we know that Kvothe survives...<BR/><BR/>Farida--yes, the name of the wind, and the wind it conjours up, come into it. Although it is, perhaps, a tad more metaphor than plot element.<BR/><BR/>Wow, Laini, that is cool about Pat Rothfuss! I wonder if there is a gender thing going on with agitated fans--us fans of Megan Whalen Turner are waiting peacefully for her next book, and most of us are female...<BR/><BR/>Kailana and Tanita--yes, it's a good one! Read it! But you could wait until the sequel is out, to spare yourself a bit of pain...<BR/><BR/>Hi Susan! Thanks for stopping by and commenting--I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy this one.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-51037993170400604782009-03-31T13:27:00.000-05:002009-03-31T13:27:00.000-05:00I have this book to read for Carl's Once Upon a Ti...I have this book to read for Carl's Once Upon a Time Challenge. I've been hearing good things about it, so now I really need to get to it!Wonderful review, Charlotte. And thanks so much for leaving a comment on my post today, so I could come find you. I love the books you're reviewing and I can see how you are going to be very bad on my To get list!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-12263098117638938752009-03-31T08:39:00.000-05:002009-03-31T08:39:00.000-05:00Whoo.

I don't like the U.K. cover particularly, either, but wow it's better than the U.S. one. <BR/><BR/>I'm deeply intrigued, and I totally agree with your husband!!<BR/><BR/>(Isn't it nice to know men who read?)tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-23794826975987386512009-03-31T04:36:00.000-05:002009-03-31T04:36:00.000-05:00I really need to read this book!

Did you know that last November he single-handedly raised over $100,000 for Heifer International, and then MATCHED IT??? He's awesome. I too eagerly await Wise Man's Fear, and was fascinated and horrified by the blog posts about mean fans. Did you read the George RR Martin post? Egad! Jim and I have witnessed fan meanness in action on comic book message boards, and have concluded that sci-fi/fantasy and comic book fans are the only ones that are like this, so deeply invested they believe the books (and by extension the authors) <I>belong</I> to them.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-52344630226439725122009-03-30T22:05:00.000-05:002009-03-30T22:05:00.000-05:00Okay!

I hate merely poetic titles, i.e. if something has mermaids in the titles, I want to read about mermaids. Ditto Valkyries. I think the wind is my elemental, so I'm a tad biased toward reading this.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-68440899931272667262009-03-30T20:19:00.000-05:002009-03-30T20:19:00.000-05:00Your review puts me in mind of Skin Hunger, which ...Your review puts me in mind of <I>Skin Hunger</I>, which is similar in that it's a pretty good book, but it just...ends.
