How are you finding it? I bounced off the only two books I tried in the Blade series so I gave up. But since I liked some of the Kregen series but got bored with the others, maybe there's some Blade books I'll like after all?

The series is written by several different authors, so some books are better than others. Although all of them follow the same formula. It’s just pure escapism.

If you read the first two books and decided it just wasn’t for you, then I would leave it at that. You’re not missing out on anything.

The first 8 books where written by Manning Lee Stokes and all the rest except 1 are written by Roland Green. But as Richard said they are all very formula.

Dariel Quiogue | 36 comments Thanks, Richard and David! Back to Barsoom and Callisto for me then :-). And maybe a side trip to Kregen or Llarn!

Finished Conan - Blood of the Serpent and still had pastiche on the mind, so I started For the Witch Of the Mists, a Bran Mak Morn book by David C. Smith and Richard Tierney that I picked up recently on my first visit to the reopened Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore.

Oh, I've been bringing treasures home from Uncle Hugo's since 1990 or so ... Admittedly, less so since I started reading on my Kindle, and since I pretty much ran out of places to put things.

And I finished Into the Riverlands (it's a short, and excellent, novella) and decided to veer into some space opera with K.B. Wagers' Behind the Throne.

I read K.B. Wagers' Beyond the Empire (third in her Indranan War trilogy) in the space of about 48 hours and started Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, which I expect will take quite a bit longer.
