icepixie: (Poor Sauron)
[personal profile] icepixie
Whoa. I have apparently been completely out of touch with the publishing industry. LMB released the sequel to The Curse of Chalion in September, and I just found out about it a week ago. (Of course, I wouldn't have been able to read it until I got home and could get it from the library, 'cause I don't buy hardbacks unless I absolutely have to read the book RIGHT NOW, but still. And yes, I did request it last week. ;))

Since the last time I noticed, Katharine Kerr has released not one, but two more books in her Deverry series. And apparently instead of ending with Book 12 (the newest), she's going on to book 14. Egads. Someone's starting to head off into Robert Jordan territory here. (For those who haven't read these books, they're sort of like Middle Earth with girls and lots of politics. And dragons. And much, much more magic. And flashbacks. And reincarnation, which means she can kill off main characters with impunity 'cause the current storyline becomes one of the past storylines she flashes back to. Okay, it's only like LOTR in that there's a whole bunch of characters, a seriously intricate world, a kind of language element, elves, and suitably dwarf and orc-like characters, IIRC. No equivalent to hobbits, though, I don't think.)

Um, yeah. Enough of my babble. Enough to say that I need to hie myself to a bookstore.
