Golden Anvil

 Well, there was a long break there where I wasn't able to post the books I was finishing on the website, but I've had a decent amount of spare time for reading, so I finished a whole stack of books. I'm not going to review them all, but I will at least stick them in the list. I will at least make a couple comments though...

Peter and the Star Catachers - I enjoyed this a lot. It's fast written, and fun to read. Optiker, I know you liked this one. It's actually the first of a series with three other books so far... http://www.librarything.com/series/Starcatchers

The Adventures of Florin and Lorenzo - An omnibus edition of three books in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. It was kind of hit and miss. One of the stories I really enjoyed. Another was decent, and the third was just OK. Not bad on the whole.

Fool's Errand - This is a new series by an author I've really enjoyed before. It was surprisingly slow moving. If it hadn't been for that, I'd definitely have ranked it higher.

EVE: The Empyrean Age - This is actually based on the setting of the EVE Online computer game, which I just started playing again. In fact, it's part of the official ongoing storyline, which means that when I started playing the game again and watched the new intro movie that came with the new version just released, I was startled to see reference to some of the events that I'd just read about in the book!

Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. - Last time I read this book was before I'd watched any of the TV show, so I wanted to read it again. The did a good job of writing the character. I could frequently hear the character's voice in my head as I read the dialog.
