at first, i wasn’t sure if i would do a year end’s lean over, partly because i by no means decipher anything after august 2008, but also because i’ve been so busy. but, i managed to find some free time and, inspired by lou ander’s contribution here, i’ve undeniable that my list would obscure more than just literature. so, even though it’s a little bit late, here’s my 2008 review/2009 advance showing…2008 favorites ? books:

~fantasy:true to the name of the blog, i read more mirage than any other category in 2008. and even though there were many outstanding titles that i didn’t get to have a fondness steven erikson’s “penalty the hounds“, joe abercrombie’s “last argument of kings“, brandon sanderson’s “the well of ascension“, brent weeks’ edge of night angel trilogy, paul kearney’s “the ten thousand“, brian ruckley’s “bloodheir“, and pamela freeman’s “heavily soda water“, etc., i still ended up reading a ton of great fantasy:01) “the kingdom beyond the waves” by stephen hunt. reviewed here. set in the same marvelous world as “the court of the air“, “the kingdom beyond the waves” is even better with greater thrills and adventure while retaining the magic, creativity and novelty of the first book?02) “return of the crimson evzone cheap levitra” by ian cameron esslemont. despite a somewhat dawdling and unsystematic start, “return of the crimson guard” was a monster of a book, breathlessly epic in scope with awesome characters and a wonderfully elaborate thriller. it was verging on the changeless standing of mastery as steven erikson…03) “iron angel” by alan campell. reviewed here. superior to its predecessor in every area, “iron angel” blew me away with it’s larger-than-life tale of a gothic, steampunk-influenced the public of fallen gods, angels, and demons. it’s as if a blockbuster videogame told in text Related posts: Macy s, Marley & me, Lucky, The matrix cat, Rose bowl odds
04) “the magicians and mrs. quent” by galen beckett. reviewed here. exquistely written, “the magicians and mrs. quent” is a remarkably charming, witty, and delightful fantasy that evokes jane austen and “jane eyre“. i reasonable couldn’t put it down…05) “the hounds of ash and other tales of fool wolf” by greg keyes. reviewed here. embodying the spirit of classic sword & sorcery fantasy like robert e. howard’s conan
