.227 x duuuude i love books

[karriezai]

I just finished reading the final Mistborn book, The Hero of Ages. I immediately wikipedia'd it and discovered that it wasn't actually due to be released until today, meaning the Borders that sold it to me on Saturday is very naughty indeed. I'm grateful, though. I loved the crap out of it, and I was seriously impressed.

I have more books left from that shopping trip. I'm hesitant to start one now when I have work at 4:30, but I don't guess it matters that much. I probably won't get far enough in to be truly addicted in the limited time I have.

Anyway, seriously impressed with Brandon Sanderson. Especially considering that I really was not fond of Elantris, his first book (and only book published before Mistborn). Granted, I didn't finish Elantris, but only because I found it hard to get through. I bet the plot was good, but... eh. Anyway, point being that he evolved a great deal between writing Elantris and Mistborn. I'm so jealous of the way his plot came together. Gah.

And I have to have writing for workshop submitted by midnight tomorrow night for Writers' House. Bleargh.

I'm going to go swipe a good novel myself -- I've been sating myself on Dreamsongs so far, (one of which, With Morning Comes Mistfall) was very good.

I'll have to look up Sanderson. Hope your entry is better than mine! Mine involved a foursome, and definitely was outta my comfort zone or interest area (though, surprise, surprise, many people praised how it wasn't fantasy ... Meh).
