Too Like the Lightning by: Ada Palmer

Too Like the LightningToo Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Incredibly deep and thought provoking debut by Ms. Palmer. I am not a guy who is deep into the philosophical things of life, but Ada Palmer has created an incredible story that makes you think. Thinking is way more rare in fiction nowadays that it used to be.

I will have to read this book again, its very similar in tone to the Thessaly series by Jo Walton. It sort of feels like science fiction should be more like this, strange and worms its way into your brain and changes you from the inside out.

Queen of Thorns (Pathfinder Tales) By: Dave Gross

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the third of the Pathfinder stash I got cheap and my favorite. The characters Jeggare and Radovan are two of my favorite in recent memory. Great story, interesting mystery and ton of fun, HOWEVER, I didn't know this is not the first installment of their adventures soooooooooo if you want to test these waters, you need Prince of Wolves and Master of Devils too.

So far, I have been super pleased with my sojourn into the Pathfinder universe, they are nothing groundbreaking, but they are solid, well done, totally fun fantasy books. Give them a try.
