Just finished Naomi Novik's Tongues of Serpents.
And based on how much I've enjoyed the series so far, this one was a major disappointment. Looks like a proliferation of unnecessary sequels to me. . .
Check out the blog for the full review.

Oh, I won't. Don't worry. It's just that I expect I'll not get too much reading time, and just a few pages before sleep isn't going to cut it. Especially if on page 245 you have to recognize the name of that guy we met on page 65wayfriend wrote:Spiral, System of the World is the payoff, and it pays off big. Don't stop now!

Thus far, it's pretty good. I've always liked the short story structure for science fiction.Stonemaybe wrote:Flat Earth by David Williams (at last!)

Chapters were originally very short. Based on letters/brief correspondence. Not my fault Tolkien didn't know when to shut up.Fist and Faith wrote:I'm more than half done with it. I've been so tired lately I haven't been able to read. But I'm off today, so I'll do a bit more. A Dissection might be difficuly, since each page is a new chapter. Heh

Picked it up from the library today because I couldn't fail to notice that the series is generally highly regarded on here and my local library actually had the first book! Not to mention SRD's endorsement.
Almost 200 pages in and I'm very confused.
