* Black Prism – This book sort of surprised me. I was expecting it to be released on 8/31 and instead it was released on 8/25. I later confirmed that this was indeed an early release. Why? I don’t know, I find it odd but it was a very pleasant surprise. So far it is good. Just as he did in The Night Angel Trilogy, Brent Weeks is introducing a new and very interesting new school of magic, this time dealing with colors. I’m not going to describe it here but you really need to check it out. I honestly wouldn’t care if Brent Weeks continues this throughout his career. I’m a sucker for schools of magic and he can write trilogies around new ones from here to kingdom-come for all I care.
* Red Pyramid – First book of The Kane Chronicles, Rick Riordan’s follow up to the Percy Jackson series, this time based on Egyptian gods/goddesses. This will be one of those that I pick my way through in short spurts. Not bad so far, feels different enough from PJ for me to justify it so far.
* WoT Book Four: Way of Shadows - Started this next installment when I thought I had a while to wait for Black Prism (and Way of Kings). Still trudging…
* Making the Bible Work for You – Fun book, picking through it at times.
REMEMBER: Brian Sanderson’s The Way of Kings is being released on 8/31!
