After reading it, I decided to stop with the series as I didn't find it interesting enough and I didn't enjoy Bear's writing style.<br />I had a rather similar experience with The Hammer. I liked this one more but still, I was not amazed either.<br />Throne of the Crescent Moon, several Brent Weeks novels, The Demon Cycle and The Stormlight Archives are all in my priority-1 to-read list and await a chance to be read!! I have many more "book-fails" that should have been read long ago but I'd better not go into that! :pAntonis M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-45349070047612026262014-08-19T14:18:12.255+01:002014-08-19T14:18:12.255+01:00Most of those are books I also need and want to re...Most of those are books I also need and want to read. Looks like we have many of the same bookfails! :p<br /><br />I did read Parker's "The Hammer," and wasn't that impressed. It felt like it dragged on and had little in the way of plot even though there was an extraordinary amount of detail and connecting one small event to another major one. Since then I've read a couple of Parker's short stories that have convinced me to give Sharps a try, at least, and I'm hoping it ends up better.<br /><br />And Brett's "Demon Cycle" books will always have a special place with me, since I read the first one during my first hospitalization and it helped me get through a difficult time. It was exactly what I needed when I needed it, so I'm rather fond of it.Bibliotropichttp://www.bibliotropic.netnoreply@blogger.com
