Star Wars: New Jedi Order 14.50
Walter Jon Williams
3 of 5 stars
Very few short Star Wars stories have appeared after the few taking place in the NJO sub-series.
I am not surprised.
Recovery
Star Wars: New Jedi Order #6.5
Troy Denning
3 of 5 Stars
This short story served to remind me how dark and hopeless the whole NJO series delved deeply into.
Fool’s Bargain
Star Wars
Timothy Zahn
3 of 5 Stars
This drove home that Zahn likes Storm Troopers.
The Body in the Library
Miss Marple #3
Agatha Christie
4 of 5 Stars
A thoroughly enjoyable murder mystery.
She hadn’t turned up and it was time to begin. I was vexed, I can tell you! That’s the sort of silly things girls do and get the management’s back up, and then they get the sack!
Sadly, and humorously, young people haven’t changed at all since that was written back in the 1920’s…
The Gripping Hand
Moties #2
Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle
2 of 5 Stars
After reading The Mote in God’s Eye, I was at least interested in reading this sequel.
And I was bored out of my skull. For the whole book.
Passage to Dawn
Legends of Drizzt #10
Legacy of the Drow #4
R.A. Salvatore
2 of 5 Stars
The last Drizz’t book I’ll be reading.
While Salvatore can write a good battle scene, it seems that he writes like a crap author in every other situation. Which is odd, as I’ve read his Star Wars books, and while not terribly impressed, I didn’t feel like a 10year old was writing the dialogue.
So farewell Mr Drizz’t. May you find a luscious dark elf who also likes goodness, mainly so that Salvatore can stop yanking your chain with these terribly forced, awkward, cross-species wannabe romances…
Stormbringer
Eternal Champion: Elric #6
Michael Moorcock
4 of 5 Stars
I hadn’t remembered that this book was about the End of the World, not just Elric’s end. So it was definitely a different tone for me than the previous books.
Blast those Pan Tang’ians 🙂 Always causing trouble…
The Far West
Frontier Magic #3
Patricia Wrede
4 of 5 Stars
The conclusion to the trilogy.
The “Far West” part didn’t come into play until about 40% into the book. Lots of other stuff going on. Cathayan magicians/magic are part of this story too.
so basically the expedition goes farther west than anyone else in recorded history, solves a big problem and comes home.
Eff gets married and they decide that they will move to a frontier settlement so they can continue their studies of all the new stuff.
The Chosen: God’s Dream for You
Dwight Nelson
Unrated
This was supposed to be a daily devotional, with a reading a day. I was expecting some kind of verse or thought from the Bible, expounded upon.
It was all based upon the theme of “The Chosen”, hence the title. The Chosen refers to those who are staying close to God in their walk through life.
I was disappointed. Many of the daily readings were very “Ellen White” centric instead of Christ centered. Others kind of rambled on about vagaries without saying very much.
I don’t consider this a waste of my time, and I’m sure it will help out other people, who are at different stages in the their Christian walk, but it was not for me at this time.
