Er, I've been reading so many books since I last updated back in July '10. Is too much to 'splain. Will hopefully update some time soon.

Alternate History! With Dragons! Yes, please.

Er, this book has been lost to the abyss that is my closet. I hope to finish reading it when I can FIND it. [grumbles]

Part of my problem with all of Abercombie's work I've read so far is he has at least ONE character that I could not give two rats' asses about if they were dipped in gold and sprinkled with diamonds. And then he makes said characters narrators. I've reached that spot in BSC and I don't CARE about the poisoner's thought process, but I have to read through him to get to other folks again. Frustrating.

This book as been on my "reading" list for a while because I think I'm missing some things due to the cultural divide. It's still a damned good book even with that working against me, but I keep having to go read lighter fare before I come back to it and read a few more chapters.
