Book of the Moment: 6/19/11
While it was an amazing week in general it was an awful week reading wise. I finished last weeks book but sort of stalled out on this weeks book. Not because it's bad or anything no it's actually really really good but I was just distracted and lazy for a good portion of the week. I did manage to make a crack at it and this week I am determined to get back into reading again one way or another.
This is the second book in a fantasy trilogy and I really love it to bits. I actually think it's better then the first book was but then that just might be because I know who all the characters are and what's going on instead of learning it. And thus far it lacks the most annoying (purposefully written that way) character in the previous book. I know he'll return but I'm enjoying his absence while he's gone.
A se'nnight later, on a cold, crisp morning, Morgan sat on the ground with her back against the wall in the sunny lower courtyard. She suspected she had napped, though she couldn't be certain. Things looked no different from how they had the last time she'd managed to peer at what was going on in front of her. She had to admit, just watching it made her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep.
Miach and Weger were training. She supposed that it might have been called instruction, but even to her jaundiced eye it appeared that Miach was more than holding his own. He an Weger were of a height, quite similar in build, and actually quite evenly matched. They almost looked to be of an age, though she tried not to notice that Miach was as desperately handsome as Weger was not. Then again, for a man who was almost seven centuries old, Weger was actually quite well preserved.
As it were.
