He's been writing that world basically my entire life. The dragonbone chair is the thing that got me into reading fantasy and I remember sitting in high school classes reading it when I should have been taking notes

5 out of 5 stars to The Witchwood Crown by Tad Williams. This is my first time reading any of the Osten Ard series by Williams and I’m amazed at the depth of this world and the great range of characters. If you like Game of Thrones you should love this! #fantasy #fiction #books #williams #booksky

“Something about this picture’s not right,” Blenley responded. “The Duke’s supposedly in danger, but we’re the ones in a pestilent swamp miles from home with ravenous beasts lurking around every corner ready to eat us for lunch.” tinyurl.com/58c4ru7b #booksky #kindle #fantasy #ya #fiction #books

“Whenever a potential murder victim’s revealed to be a member of a secretive, mystical moon cult led by an eccentric but charismatic leader, that moon cult bears looking into.”
“Not to mention the Moonitorium looks really cool,” added Rochelle.

“Shollop said Aul-Bac and I made some of the best snake kabobs of the day,” Blenley reported brightly. They’d barely succeeded in making the Mole Roll, desperately copying other pairs and ending up with a lumpy, misshapen object with stray bones sticking out of it. tinyurl.com/58c4ru7b #booksky #ya

“I never trusted those Badcastles. Something about their whole messed-up seaside culture’s wrong. Holding sea burials and roasting leathery seals and the whole demented underwater meditation technique. Now they’re having monster bats do their dirty work.”

5 out of 5 to Venetian Vespers by John Banville. Set in a mysteriously gloomy and threatening Venice, this is the latest of John Banville’s novels to feature a haunted protagonist dealing with dire matters where not everyone is who they seem to be. A fine moody period piece. #banville #booksky
