I purchased the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons Very good set! I haven't read the rest but Hyperion and especially The Fall of Hyperion are excellent imo. Yeah, Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion were quite good. But I didn't care for the Endymion books.

Sequel to Draw One in the Dark and The Gentleman Takes a Chance—a new entry in Sarah A. Hoyt’s celebrated Shifter contemporary fantasy series!
For years, Rafiel Trall, one of Goldport's finest, has been walking the fine line between enforcing human law and protecting the shifters who come his way. A lion shifter himself, he's found this duty onerous. Lately it's been lightened by his friendship with Tom Ormson, a dragon shifter, and Kyrie Smith, a panther shifter. This should make it easier for him to find a solution for the crimes of a feral shifter—but not when an as yet unnamed entity takes out the Great Sky Dragon, the head of all dragon shifters. With his power devolving on Tom Ormson just as Kyrie finds that a mysterious ailment prevents her from shifting, Rafiel must rely only on himself, a seductive dragon girl and an even more seductive and unreliable old shifter to solve the crimes, maintain shifters hidden and keep his best friend in the world from becoming a dragon of unimaginable mass destruction.

Whoa, the ending of a highly regarded hugo award winning novel that just stunk imo.
As I said in an earlier post I bought and have started to read the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. I think my exact words were wtf? You cant be serious at the ending of the 1st book.
Now I am sure subsequent books will take up the thread of this first book and perhaps satisfy me but it is my opinion that any book, even one in a series should have a satisfying ending dealing with the contents of that book. No problem leaving some major questions for later books but there has to be at least a decent end game for each book in a series.
The ending of this book rates up there with NWN2, great game and then ends with 'And the rocks fell on their heads.'
On to the next book. (Don't spoiler me bros!)

On to the next book. (Don't spoiler me bros!) Ha! I couldn't even if I wanted to, it's been so long since I read them. The Fall of Hyperion is better, I think. About all I'll say is, the two together sparked an interest in John Keats' poetry.

Went back to reading Martin's Game of Thrones.
I need to get myself back into reading fantasy/science fiction. It'll give me ideas, and the mechanics to get back into writing my fantasy stories.

Dushku as The Lady. Wait what? In the books she is described as a tops 20 year old embodiment of utter beauty, Dushku is at best a highly average, not very well known 38 year old actress. I don't like where this is going.....

I don't like where this is going..... Well, given Croaker was past forty at the start of the series, I guess that would make their relationship a bit less creepy in appearance... Also keep in mind there haven't been any more details in about a year so who knows if things have changed or even if this is still a thing...

So ironically a bit of a two for today. So At All Costs was pretty amazing in the end. The Battle of Manticore was itself pretty gut wrenching. My continuing growing appreciation of Honor's character...continues. And pretty much my reactions to Haven and Manticore shooting at eachother is like 'stop fighting guys and just get along already!' I love how Weber has given us characters to love and appreciate on both sides and he did a lot of killing them off in this book. Also this: More of a 'shamelss' plug on my part. This is someone I have been watching on youtube his essays on writing...always thought provoking well researched and very well presented. And now he has written a book putting those thoughts in a different format which I figure will be easier to go and double check if I have something that I want to look up rather then having to go find the appropriate Youtube video. But I am still reading it and it is very...personal...casual...lot of his presentation is in it in prose form but it is still thought provoking and written well.

I started a new autobiography from the frontier, it s really good ! And it s quite amazing to read a direct report of the white vs indians relationships, as it has been so much fictionalized i had absolutely no idea how that played in late XIXth.
That was a really good read, and one recommanded to non fluent english readers. F Canton even spends around 2 years in alaska around 1900 and it s really a fascinating read (yukon unfreezing for example). I wonder if i can find some good other sources on his life, 'cause as is, his life is twice what Hollywood could sell.
