Oh, this got delayed a bit.

I am still reading Valour’s Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation series. Almost near the end though. Enjoying the book a lot.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

Wheel of Time. On the fourth book now. Pacing is a little slow but it is interesting enough to keep me reading. Though I really have almost no clue how this story keeps going for several more books. Guess I'll see :)

The pacing change from the first three books is noticeable but I felt it was welcome. The first three are almost contained quest novels, where they chase a goal and more or less complete it by books end, the scope changes a bit in book four onwards to a larger view of how you pull this disbanded world together to face the final fight. It really doesn't return to the early books pacing, but once you adjust, I felt at least that the novels now intriguing for the change.

Well, the pacing becomes even slower, and there are books where nothing happens. Still, it's my favourite series. So, keep reading, and maybe pace yourself so you don't get burned out.
