I will wait and see what you think of Moon Called

So yep, taking a little break from studying… And choosing “Moon Called” ^^ Will tell you what I though after finishing it ^^ I’ve never read a single book by Patricia Briggs ^^

Patricia Briggs’ books are shorter than Sharon Shinn’s (mostly), so may be a good decision! I hope you enjoy the books I’ve rec’d…

Actually when I ended writing these posts I went to read “Slave to Sensation” I’m actually half through it and expecting to finish it today or tomorrow along with Sebastian.
Concerning “Slave to Sensation”, I keep telling myself “Why do you keep reading this?” but end up saying “I’ll stop at the next chapter” ^^ Pretty weird. I know each one is a stand alone, but I’d like to read the books in proper order… in order to reach the third one since you said it was the one which got you hooked ^^ But I don’t think you’re an odd one, I’m not blown away either.

Thanks for your advice ^^

I’ve read over the past two weeks(in order):

-Princess Bride by William Goldman
-Alanna, the first Adventure and In the hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce ( too rushed…
- The entire Black Jewels Trilogy as well as Dreams made Flesh and Pillars of the World ( Book 1 Tir Alainn Trilogy)==>

… So yes I do need something a little fresher ^^
I’ll go for “Moon Called” then ^^ I want to get away from the Black Jewels series, I got a tiny little bit over-obsessed ( and there’s still “Tangled Web”, “Invisible ring” and “Price” waiting for me ^^) Hmm… And I’ll go for the Samaria series after ^^ It’s exam period for me so I don’t know how I’ll manage… Maybe I shouldn’t take the risk of reading good books in this period…

Thank You for the tip ^^ And Good Luck with your TBR pile ^^
Again I love your reviews ^^ Now I know where to look at to choose what to read next ^^ I can’t believe how long I had stopped reading… How the hell did I manage to forget how good it feels to simply draw into a good book, lazily curled up in your cover, milk chocolate on your right, vanilla tea on your left… ahh That’s life!

Nalini Singh is also a fav, BUT I wasn’t blown away by her first Psy-Changeling book “Slave to Sensation”. It was the third in this series that completely worked for me. Lots of peeps loved SoS tho, so I may just be the odd one out.

You’ve probably guessed I love Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels books - apart from the original trilogy, there’s “The Invisible Ring” and “Dreams Made Flesh” (collection of short stories) in case you haven’t come across them.

Sharon Shinn v. Patricia Briggs - tough call! Can I say both?

Okay, Sharon Shinn is more traditional fantasy - if you’re reading her, I love her Samaria series, which is fantasy with a twist. Read this one in order, because there’s lots of reveals in the latter books. “Archangel” is the first, I think. If you want a standalone, I rec “Summers at Castle Auburn”, which is YA fantasy. And oh, her other series I love is her latest, the Twelve Houses series. Again, read in order - this is more traditional sword-and-sorcery type fantasy.

Patricia Briggs also writes fantasy, but her latest series is urban fantasy, so if you want a change of pace from Anne Bishop, maybe try her Mercy series. “Moon Called” is the first, and one of the best UF books out there, IMO!

Okay, v long post, but you did ask about two of my fav authors Let me know how you get on!

I’ve just retaken a liking for reading (used to read a lot in middle and primary school but school had a really bad effect on my reading sickness, as it completely disgusted me of it). Got recently hooked by Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Series and currently reading Sebastian ^^ but I wanted to find other interesting fantasy books to read and found your blog. I can’t believe how many books you read ^^ but your personal comments are great help ^^ Keep it going ^^

Once I finish Sebastian and Belladonna ( didn’t get hooked by Tir Alainn… Finished Pillars of the World but will probably read the rest in a few months… and based on your comments I’m planning to read Sharon Shinn or Patricia Briggs.

Which author do you think I should read first?
