Auren can finally stand on her own two feet...though throughout the series, I knew it would come to this, just not in as profound a method as it did. Looking forward to traveling with her to Anwyn.

I have to say...as for somebody who clearly knows Stephen King, the writing styles are quite similar, and while not quite paranormal, this serial almost has a paranormal feel to it. I need to read more John Saul after this at some point, I think.
Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control. Blue is the blood …

This is a very interesting piece of mythology. It took me a while honestly to get into it, which is odd, but I think that's because of my lack of education in African myths; while I love studying the world's religions, this is not one that's come up.

I have to say... this one, like the rest of this fantastic series, is awesome. It took Frank long enough to realize that he doesn't have anything wrong with him... anything except for the desire to be ahead of his friends.

One of the most in depth accounts of one of the most remarkable leaders of all time. While highly detailed, yet also highly readable, this book paints a very interesting picture of one of the most possibly infamous leaders in history aside from adolf Hitler, depending on how you look at history and which side you're on.
Hirohito was one of the most provocative and influential people of his time, and while he attempted somewhat to move his country forward, or at least he wanted to, this book demonstrates how he was stopped at every turn while trying to do so. He could have been more well-liked than we was is he hadn't been forced into starting a war that his people never should have had any reason to participate in.

it's here that we finally learn some astounding information about one of the most important secondary characters. while this book isn't mandatory for understanding the main tale, it is a remarkably helpful pile of side quest documentation.
