August: How Many Books Did You Read....?

[Dan Hocker]

7 Novels - Though technically audio books.

Oath of Gold by Elizabeth Moon - 9/10 - The Las book of The Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy. It's a wonderful set of books and a great fantasy read.

Oath of Fealty by Elizabeth Moon
Kings of the North by Elizabeth Moon
Echoes of Betrayal by Elizabeth Moon
Limits of Power by Elizabeth Moon
Crown of Renewal by Elizabeth Moon - 6/10 - I'm gonna rate and review these as one. This is the Paladin's Legacy series, the follow up to The Deed of Paksenarrion. This one had a lot of potential, but lost it due to having too many different storylines and a general lack of focus. Still a good read though if you enjoyed the original.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - 9/10 - A classic, I've read it before but never have never listened to the audio version. Stephen Fry narrates, and it's pretty good. Working my way through the rest of them now, unfortunately Stephen Fry doesn't narrate those, Martin Freeman does. He's good, just not as good as Stephen Fry.

I really enjoyed The Dispatcher by John Scalzi.

I really enjoyed The Dispatcher by John Scalzi.

Yeah, I like Scalzi, though I haven't read many of his books. Lock In and Head On were the last two I read, and I liked those two.
