You felt it~
I cannot post the real picture I want for SPOILERS, but another contender for best episode of the season last night. Lost feels itself again. I knew Des would save us all.
I finished "Throne of Jade." I'm noticing Nordik's tendency to do excellent build-up but very sloppy climaxes that usually move too quickly to stay on top of the real action and more than not are solved via deus ex machina rather than actual actions of the characters. I still like, but just something I note. I was also disappointed Lien never even spoke. Lame. To tell the truth, aside from the cool dragon society, I didn't particularly enjoy this book as much as the first. The China parts really dragged and the political aspect became way too heavy. Also, the significant cutbacks in Temeraire's page space toward the end.
I really want to read "Gods Behaving Badly," but as I have had no chance for library time, I will probably be at least starting "Black Powder War." Either that or more of Geass' "Knight."
Ugh, I have to go to work super early tomorrow to make up for today and since I have ANOTHER appointment (tests) next Tuesday, I'll be eating up more sick leave. As of now, I am seriously debating whether I can afford my spring trip, considering the medical bills I'm probably racking up. I have no idea how my insurance works. That and I'm also giving serious thoughts to getting an MRI. My doctor suggested it, but I think she was just spooked by my family's fatal cancer history. I'm trying not to think about any of this too much.
