Well, I wrapped up reading Neil Gaiman's
Stardust yesterday. I had planned on finishing it on Monday, but real life sank that battleship.
Stardust was really a great book and I would highly recommend it. Like I mentioned in
a previous post,
Stardust was written in a pre-Tolkien style of fantasy and has a fairy tale feel to it. There's no mega-quest or big bad, but there's plenty of enchantment and interesting characters. I'll write a separate post about it later, but I give it two thumbs up.
Moving on, I've already started to dig into Lev Grossman's
The Magicians. One of the reasons why I picked it is because Syfy's adaptation is set to premiere later this month and I want to read the book before it airs. The other reasons are that I've had the book for years and I've heard nothing but praise for it. Might as well give it a whirl.
