A Sorcerer's Treason

I've recently finished A Sorcerer's Treason - Isavalta (1), by Sarah Zettel. I enjoy it, Although a lot of the elements common to fantasy were used, especially the cross-worlds aspects, this book came across well. There's enough loose ends in it to expect a sequal, even though the main protagonist is not aware of these loose ends. The prequal is due out soon, and I intend to buy it when it comes out is the standard sized paperback (or borrow it from the library).

I overdo is the amount of reading I attempt. When I used to catch the bus to work I could manage more books but now that I bike I don't get the benefit of that time in the morning. If I ever do have to catch public transport I need something to read, I am not a person to sit quietly staring out the window.

I'm finally starting to read Crossroads of Twilight (Wheel of Time (10), by Robert Jordan. Unfortunately this series seems a bit bogged down, with very little being resolved in a book. Hopefully this will pick up the pace. There are so many threads ongoing that stories could have been published in parallel with this series, halving the size of each book and focusing better on the characters.
