Butcher really should find a way to integrate the Zombie Riding Dinosaur poster in somewhere like a back cover. That's pure artistic gold.

Ah, ye of little faith. About six years ago, the Science Fiction Book Club re-published most of the Dresden Files books in a two-books-in-one volume.

The Zombie Dinosaur was the cover image of Wizard at Large, which contains Blood Rites and Dead Beat.

Harry Connolly's giving away free copies of the Twenty Palaces prequel. Today only:

It's pretty great.

Excellent. I'm getting tired of reading Repairman Jack while I wait on the new Dresden and this will be the perfect break I hope. I had it on my "to read" list.

Just started Rook, since I got to about 90% of the way through the first Greywalker and relised I hadn't given a gently caress about the story since about the half way mark (if it gets better, I'll slog through to the good bits).

Rook is pretty enjoyable so far.

I'm halfway through book 2 of grey walker and I'm about to just shut it down. I'll probably pick up The Rook if I do as it seems to be getting good feedback

It's action packed and bloody as hell, but we, the reader, have no loving clue what's going on for far too long.

This sounds like the Malazan Book of the Fallen which turned out to be an amazing story. It's just so god drat confusing starting out.

There's an Iron Druid novella coming out on May 7th called Grimoire of the Lamb. Then the 6th book comes out a little over a month after that.

I'm trying to start the Greywalker series but I keep getting stuck in the beginning of the first book. I'll read a little bit and then put it down and not pick it up again for 2 or 3 weeks. I'm going to try to change that tonight.

Greywalker just never really clicked for me. I made it through a few books and then it just got kinda meh, the books will be emergency content reads probably. I read the first dagger and coin book and it has a free space opera novel at the end I just found. Whoop!

I think one of the best parts about reading this series is this thread and seeing new readers experience the series.

This thread has gone much better with that than the Game of Thrones thread. It was a spoiler massacre to new readers

A large part of that was the bitterness of a 10-11 year wait for a book published in two halves, neither of which were close to quality of the previous books. All while the author blogged incessantly about cons and football, and had an assistant screen any negative thoughts so he could live in an echo chamber where everyone was happy to wait a decade or more for the next novel while being told repeatedly he was almost done. It's no surprise we all went a bit WILD CARDS! after a while. It's not as bad as it used to be, though.

I'm very, very glad Butcher doesn't have this problem.

Oh, you sweet summer children.


Yeah, these days I just assume that GRRM will never finish the next book and try not to think about living with the huge cliffhanger. That, and fill my reading with prolific authors who can keep to a reasonable schedule.


It has been so long I forgot the cliffhanger to the last book. I'm going to have to check that when I get home from work. loving GRRM.

Whoever recommended the Metro 2033 books in this thread must have been desperate for a book. I'm about halfway through it and my brain hurts so bad, but now I need to know what happens to this poor little guy living in the sewers under Moscow after a total nuclear war + 40 years :(. The Russian > English translation leaves a little bit to be desired.

Metro 2033 gave me a serious bummer upon having finished reading it. So far I haven't found an English version of the sequel, but I need to know what happened afterwards. Those Dark Ones :smith:

Just finished the first one. Now I feel compelled to read the 2nd one due to that massive cliffhanger.

I almost think he's talking about Alera, but IIRC things got pretty huge in scope (though the actual amount of fucks I gave about what I was reading rapidly decreased as the series went on and it eventually became a matter of just finishing the series).

I felt the same way.
