It's a quick light read, even though it's on the thicker side of most recent releases, because Schwab's writing style is so fluid. But yeah, epic fantasy and its huge doorstoppers aren't for everyone.<br /><br />Some SW books are indeed crappy, and I have my things to say about Zahn's works too, but he thinks up damn good Imperials.

A Darker Shade Of Magic sounds amazing, and while I've heard a lot about A game of thrones and the TV series, considering LOTR took me 1 1/2 years I think I'd leave it. Unwind was super creepy! but I liked the issues it addressed. And I always thought Star Wars books were crappy, but maybe I'll check them out sometime :) This was exciting!

Is there any better combination? ;) I love your answers for this one (and I've been looking to read <i>Gone Girl</i> for awhile now, so thank you so much for the recommendation!). I must admit that I haven't read any of the other books, though I've heard wonderful things about the majority of them. So yes, off to check them all out from the library :D<br /><br />And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE NOMINATION. <3 You know I don't really do tags + awards, but I shall be stalking the others' blogs to see all their answers!topaz wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266048278124376231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-37644072415919621412015-04-17T17:32:26.530+08:002015-04-17T17:32:26.530+08:00True, it was loads of fun to do!True, it was loads of fun to do!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-81315527164466489772015-04-17T17:32:16.031+08:002015-04-17T17:32:16.031+08:00IT IS IT IS.

I don't think I've ever done that, except for Deathly Hallows, wherein I was totally sad at the epilogue, then read in order and was suitably moved by then.<br /><br />Although I do reread GoT by PoV chapter often.

I read the first fourth, and then got bored and just wanted to know what happened to Dany, so I read her last chapter, then read all the rest of her chapters backwards.
