Review of "A Crown of Swords: Book Seven of 'The Wheel of Time'" on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed this book so much more than the last. The character development was fun, plus the multiple endings was great. I was starting to dislike Rand, but not after this book!

Review of 'The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time, #5)' on 'Goodreads'

Unlike many of the other reviews, this was on of my favorite book of the series. The action seemed to be more interspersed within the book. I was hoping for more from the Morgase plot. I hope the next book has more. I'm happy with my reading pace. I was afraid that I would finish the series before the last book is released, but it looks like that won't be a problem. These books are huge!

Review of 'The Shadow Rising' on 'Goodreads'

Good overall book, but Rand's ending was confusing until the very end. The other plots were more fun than the main one. Well, another one down. Time to start the next one!

reviewed The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time, #3)

Review of 'The Dragon Reborn' on 'Goodreads'

This was my favorite book so far. The ending was so exciting! I finished reading it in a parking lot before heading
into a customer's location. I've been fired up all day.

Robert Jordan: The Great Hunt (EBook, 2020, Tor)

The Great Hunt is a fantasy novel by American author Robert Jordan, the second book …

Review of 'The Great Hunt' on 'Goodreads'

Finished quicker than I thought! I like this book more than book one. Except the Jordan spends too much time on the non important characters. Plus I felt like the main characters were a bit to naive. Two times in the book, I kept says, "surely they aren't going to fall for that," but they did. No worries - on to the third book. At this rate, I'm going to finish before the last book comes out. I can't have that!

Philip Pullman: The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3) (AudiobookFormat, 2004, Listening Library)

Review of 'The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)' on 'Goodreads'

What a wonderful story! As with any book series, I am sad to say goodbye to the characters. However, The ending was what I expected and the writing was spot on. The third book is exciting, thrilling, and moving. The whole series is wonderful and I can't wait to pass this on to my tween.

Review of 'Dance with Dragons' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Well, I finally finished it. I had been doing a lot of traveling with coworkers, so no as much time to read. This was one of the more enjoyable books to read, especially after the last one. As usuall, it has a big ending that leaves drooling for more. Alas, there are no more. Well, at least not until the next one is released. Until then, off to other books!

reviewed A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4)

A Feast for Crows (Paperback, 2006, Spectra)

Crows will fight over a dead man's flesh, and kill each other for his eyes. …

Review of 'A Feast for Crows' on 'Goodreads'

I would almost give this one two stars had it not been for the last "chapter", a not from the author saving that all the good stuff was in the next book. He basically had too much for just one book and instead of telling half the story of all the characters, he decided to tell stories about half the characters. The other stories (the ones I care more about) are in [b:A Dance With Dragons|2782553|A Dance With Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5)|George R.R. Martin|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51LqynbphlL.SL75.jpg|2936175]. I was beginning to think the series had sizzle out for me like the Dune books, but I will read the fifth book.
