Hola all,
This should just become a regular thing, reviewing two books at once. Once again, I've got two for you.
The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan
I am falling pretty head over heels for this series. This book was kind of slow for a little while but the end was very good. The plot line for this one is pretty apparent in the title. They go on an adventure to find the Horn of Valerie. When this horn is blown, it announces the return of the Dragon. I enjoyed the dilemma that Rand and the other boys go through in this book. You can really feel how they're trying to decide who they are, but are consistently getting pulled back into fate. The collars for the women who can touch the One Power are probably the most terrifying things I've ever read about. I feel like escaping that particular problem was entirely too easy though. Jordan could have done lots with that plot twist.
Can't wait to read more.
The Rose and the Thorn by Michael Sullivan
I am so incredibly sad that for right now my adventures with Hadrian and Royce are on hold. I love this story very much. At the beginning of the first of this series, Mr. Sullivan says that you can read his first series, or this second series in either order. I disagree. It's much more fun to learn about them after I already am in love with them. Recommend reading in published order.
In this story, we learn more about Hilfred and how he becomes Arista's personal guard. I enjoyed learning the full story behind those two a lot. Hadrian and Royce are learning to become a team, but Hadrian really isn't okay with the way Royce used to live his life. He seems to have accepted it a little bit, but he still hasn't fully incorporated himself into the team.
Again, cannot recommend this author enough. That's all from him for now, but know for sure that I will be reading the next one.
Next up is book three from Robert Jordan!!
Hobey Ho!
