| I'm hoping this is good. |
I picked it out at random from the shelves of Powerbooks and read the reviews at the back. It seemed like a good book; I'm taking chances at this one.
I'm half expecting Shadowmarch to be similar to David Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon but I'm hoping it would be better. After a couple modern fantasy Gaimans, I'm craving for high fantasy already.

Joe Abercrombie's "The First Law" Trilogy serves up enough fantasy and dirt that when you flip the pages really fast, you'll smell blood sweat and sex. Loved it.

| There's more blood and sex and magic in Book 1 of this trio than what's good for you but the excess is exquisite. |

interesting reads.
if i get a hold of The First Law books, i'll definitely flip the pages real fast and find out if i'd smell blood, sweat and sex. hahaha!
Tolkien and Racquelaure, too.
Will you lend me the First Law Trilogy if you have it? Pretty please. :)
@ JC: Do that! Ang astig ng first law trilogy. Napapa-wince ako lagi sa trilogy na to.
@ Red: The first book is with my cousin, so I only have books 2 and 3 right now. Hey if I lend you the trio, will you lend me some racquelaures? :D
Of course! I can lend you the whole Racquelaure trilogy. I'm guessing you've already read Tolkien? I've also got some fantasy stuff you might be interested in. If there are two genres I love to read its the fantastic (speculative) and absurd (dark and psychological). If you're also into dead languages and cryptic, I have a selection. :)
@Red: Lol @ dead languages and cryptic. Yun ang totoong nosebleed :P
Are you done already with Neverwhere?
Anansi boys is good, I just started reading last night and I'm almost half on it.
Kaya nga para lang akong may ka-buwanan. Everytime I finish one per month, the bleeding is, well, generous. Haha.
@Mike: Yeah! Done na ko with Neverwhere. Ahlavet :P
@Red: Eeew. Haha =P
ibenta mo na or ipahiram sa akin yan! haha
@mike: trade sa anansi boys pagkatapos mo :P
JC,
I'm also into books thou not same genre you read. Syjuco's novel is fantastic.

Sorry, just passed by.
I was so hooked with Eddings I read half of Belgariad and whole of Malloreon in my N70. I also love the Redemption of Althalus. All thanks to a friend of mine who introduced me to their works.
Its nice to meet other peeps who like them.
