Date: 12/10/10 03:46 am (UTC)I did read a few interesting books recently during a slow week for schoolwork. They're scifi that I bought from Amazon because the review compared them to Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein, which is one of my favorite books ever. The author is Karin Lowachee and the titles are Warchild, Burndive and Cagebird with more possibly to come. I loved every second of them and I'd recommend them to anyone.
(Note: the second-person narration in the first book only lasts for a couple chapters, then it switches to first person. So if you read the free preview on Amazon, don't think the entire book's like that. It's annoying but it only lasts while the main character is having some traumatic childhood events happen to him, then it switches to a more conventional style.)

And some others, but I can't remember what they are.

Date: 12/12/10 12:39 am (UTC)Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief.
But not just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his plan into effect.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.
Like a king.
