I thought I was because it felt like I hadn't laid a hand on a fantasy novel let alone read one straight through in a while and boy, was I ever wrong. I tallied up all the books I've read this year and while the number currently stands at only eight, I was very pleased that four of them were fantasy novels:
Prince of Thorns,
Furies of Calderon,
Legacies, and
The Crown Tower. I'm currently working on adding a ninth book before the year ends,
Dark Jenny. Five fantasy novels in a year? Not great, but I'll sure as hell take it!
What will I read after
Dark Jenny? Well, it depends on whether or not I feel like picking up another fantasy book or if I make a brief incursion into SF. If I stick with it, I might read
King of Thorns, followed by
The Mirror Empire or something from my own shelves. I really want to get my hands on some Joe Abercrombie, and that Ken Scholes book,
Lamentations. Truth be told, if I ever made out a list of fantasy novels I want it would comprise several scrolls.
