Hi!
I just saw your post about Camber of Culdi. I hope you find book one soon. I really did love those books.
Maybe you can cheat and borrow book one and continue to look? :)
I first read it years ago, and those characters have stayed with me. Now I continued to read
the next three Deryni books.. and did not like those nearly as well..but thats me.

Whenever you do read them, I am betting that you will love those characters

Hey, just me again
You asked a while ago for my thoughts on Kingmaker / Kingbreaker.
I finished it a few weeks ago, but just haven't got round to reviewing it until a few days ago.
My reviews are now up on the books pages. I'll put a brief summary for you here though.

Overall they were enjoyable, if a little slow to get started. Once the pace increased though it didn't let you go until the end. Which, paradoxically, I found slightly rushed - almost as if she was trying to meet the deadline for her publisher. I felt that there could have been some more meat in the ending, rather than it being over fairly fast. The rest of the book was very good though - so don't let that put you off!

So yes - that's my thoughts, Still need to pick up Assassin's Apprentice though hehe.

Hello,
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll certainly pick up Assassin's Apprentice next time I go to a bookshop so I can see what the actual writing is like. I usually stand in the shop and read the first few pages anyway!

I hacve only recently bought Kingmaker and i'm planning to start reading it soon - I'll let you know how it turns out =]

Thanks again for the recommendations

Hi! While I have read Vincalis, I have not read The Secret Texts trilogy. I read Vincalis first because I had never read anything by the author before, and I had been told it was her best work to date -- I didn't even know it was related to one of her other series until I after I started reading it.

Though I don't think it matters too much which way one reads it, I'd recommend reading the Secret Texts first. Vincalis is probably a more compelling book if you're already familiar with the world and curious about how it got to be the way it is in the Secret Texts.

HI
I note you've got "The Accidental Sorcerer" by KE Mills, who has been combined with Karen Miller, I don't believe they are the same person? but before I seperate them I thought I'd check it wasn't a psuedoname.

thanks for your help with this.

No, there is no one website. But I try adding words to my google images searches, like "pretty cake" or "book cake" or "fairy cake."

Good luck! There are some wonderful cakes out there!!!

Group = joined. Huzzah!

You know, I think you're right -- I don't believe I posted about my own dragons. I must go back and find that thread later.

No, no sarcasm intended, mon ami. The pictures really did spruce up the thread -- in fact, it would have been nice to have seen a few more peoples' pictures. They are worth a thousand words each, you know. :)

Well, I joined! I left a post full of attitude too. ;) You need to get some Terry Pratchett books so we have some books in common, or what books should I get? I'm not a huge fantasy fan. LOtR, Pratchett, some of the classic ones, that's about all I have.
