Reddit reviews Whispering Woods (Magic: The Gathering, Bk. 2)

Omg I was about to fall asleep when I wrote that. Thanks for dealing with my eloquent review.

The Name of the Wind (kingkiller chronicles) is really good in a childish way. It is (they are) books you probably won't put down because each chapter is like 5 pages and they all end with, "and then the room suddenly went dark!" or "and that's when he heard the roar!"

They're good and exciting and fun and seem like they're written by someone who never took English Literature 101. Which, turns out the author is a professor of.

Actually, more like he had a series of wonderful sentences, poetic sentences, that he wanted to use and had to invent a plot around them.

My other favorite childhood series is the Magic the Gathering trilogy that starts with Whispering Woods. Whispering Woods (Magic: The Gathering, Bk. 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0061054186/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HC5WAbYX36YCG

It says Book 2, but it's the first in a trilogy ending with Final Sacrifice. The first magic book was a standalone.

Whispering Woods follows Greensleeves and her brother Gull. If you're a druid/nature person, this series is cool. Really cool. And there isn't any, "crossed her arms under her ample bosom" bs." It's just a druid being awesome.

I just started the Malazan Book of the Fallen series (on the third book). It starts with Gardens of the Moon. It's interesting, brutal (not in a Martin way, in a murder and descriptions of war way), and a little "arms crossed under ample bosom." I've been enjoying it because of the surprising twists taken to weave the storylines together. It is a male dominated book with some (maybe like 3 or 4?) extraordinary women.

Edit: and your recommendations?

Edit 2: and yes, I still never pick my cats up by the scruff of their neck. I don't know if it's true or not, but I honestly trust Morwen on this more than I trust a vet :-p

I do this but it's a product of reading the early MTG books like Arena and the greensleeves trilogy
