And I have finished another book series, woe. Even more woe - she went and let Aral die, and that's after she left all these hopeful medical hints that there might be a way to sneak on an extra decade or two to his normal life expectancy. Damn authors giving us false hope... ::sigh:: On the bright side, at least it was supposedly peacefully from old age. The last line of the book managed to capture the awe-someness - in the oldest, most traditional definition of the word - of his life in only a few words as well, so I guess that's alright.
Now I am indecisive on what to read next - a reread of Mercedes Lackey's By The Sword, and thus, the Winds/Storm/Owl trilogies that follow thereafter, or Soulless by Gail Carriger, which if the free preview is anything to judge by, reminds me a lot of the Ameila Peabody books, only with vampires instead of mummies. There was also another series I was pondering a re-read of, but it has slipped my mind as of the moment. Then there is Bujold's *successful* fantasy series (as opposed to her not so successful first attempt at fantasy), of which I also have a preview though I have yet to read any of it.
Choices choices. My life, so hard.
