books by Tor Books     books:       The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time, Book 12)488 reviews Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson Tor Books, 2009 Wonderful book Brandon Sanderson did a great job with this book!! I can not wait for the last two to come out.             First Flight: A Tor.Com Original4 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Enjoyable This was a nice enjoyable story. It does lend it self to being fleshed out into a full length story. For me it's a 'wish that could be me' kind of story :) Take it for what it is, a short story on a great topic.             The Eye of the World: Book One of 'The Wheel of Time'1772 reviews Tor Books, 2009 The Epic Beginnings of a Wildly Passionate and Questionably Worthwhile Love-Hate Relationship I love this book. I love The Great Hunt as well. I love this series so much that I spent nearly a hundred dollars and an entire summer of my youth on it. I would not say it is all that similar to The Lord of the Rings, or that it is a rip-off of it. But it will draw you in, and I think many who like The Lord of the Rings would like this as well. Nor would I say that the plot gets less ...             Blood Song11 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Really Good. Blood Song will go along with Ilona Andrews and Pat Briggs series on my shelf. This is a really great start to an explosive new series by Cathy Clamp and C.T. Adams. I haven't really liked their previous books but I truly enjoyed Celia Graves in personality and ability. She says and does what she wants and-has to deal with the consequences of her actions and in most cases, her mouth. The plot has ...             Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time) Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson Tor Books, 2010 The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One?s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight. The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age. Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he ...             Ender's Game2697 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Forced reading vs. selective reading The book was required reading for my 15 year old daughter. She hated it. While discussing the necessity of completing the required reading whether she liked it or not (I discussed loudly, she whined loudly) I picked it up and was fascinated with it from the beginning and was totally blown away with the ending. For a sci-fi and abstract reading junkie it's a gold mine. For a concrete thinker ...             A Memory of Wind: A Tor.Com Original7 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Hauntingly Beautiful Tale of Betrayal & Loss A new fantasy drawn from a liitle known Greek myth, this short story hauntingly recounts the life of a young woman before she is sacrificed to a god. It weaves human emotion & desire, a realistic portrayal of ancient Greek life, and a unique perspective and flow into a mesmerizing tale of betrayal and loss. A great short read.             Overtime: A Tor.Com Original6 reviews Tor Books, 2010 A fun little jaunt I really enjoyed this story and the idea of The Laundry. It is a "Men in Black" mixed with MacGyver and no crappy one-liners. I liked the matter-of-fact approach and the unexplained bits about The Laundry. I liked letting my mind fill in the gaps. I also liked the disjointed time-stream. It kept me interested, revealing more and more of what had already happened in a very "Catch-22" sort of way.             Eros, Philia, Agape: A Tor.Com Original7 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Short but sweet I think the author took what could have been a heavy handed allegory and treated it with a delicate touch. I've seen the idea before, but I thought it unfolded with precision and beauty.             Kitty Goes to War8 reviews Tor Books, 2010 wonderful werewolf urban fantasy Midnight Hour talk show host Kitty Norville is also an alpha werewolf; perhaps the most visible in the country. On her show, she talks with callers about Speedy Mart and its owner Harold Franklin. The discussions focus on verified supernatural happenings at many of his stores. The final call-in for the evening insists Franklin is always there when a weather catastrophe occurs. Before she can ...             Boneshaker100 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Good Seattle Punk fun I was surprised. I didn't know what to expect, but I found myself mentally sucked into another world. Having lived in Seattle, I put my memories all around this book. Great fun. Well worth the read.             The Sword of Truth, Boxed Set I, Books 1-3: Wizard's First Rule, Blood of the Fold ,Stone of Tears104 reviews Terry Goodkind Tor Books, 1998 Amazing For anyone who loves fantasy, or even those who are not keen on fantasy, will love this book series. The characters are without a doubt some of the very best ever written. The over all storyline keeps you guessing whilst still giving you a feeling that you are somehow apart of the journey as well. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to escape to a world full of love, ...             The Path of Daggers: Book Eight of 'The Wheel of Time' (Book 8)1719 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Not bad at all! I am on my fourth reading of the entire series and have finished this book, once again. It is actually quite enjoyable when read in the context of three additional books waiting on the shelf and the first of the final three, soon to be released. With the advantage of having the next book in hand, I was able to relax and appreciate this book for what it is - a few interesting chapters of a ...             The Dragon Reborn: Book Three of 'The Wheel of Time'313 reviews Tor Books, 2009 The Adventure Continues ... The adventures continued, and it got more exciting. The 3 girls, Nynaeve, Egwene and Elayne, found themselves thrust deeper into the betrayals and secrets of the Aes Sedai. The Black Ajah was real and they had to track down 13 whom had been identified. Nynaeve's power was growing with a remarkable speed, but she still could not control it. She could only unleash it if she was angry, which is ...             The Great Hunt: Book Two of 'The Wheel of Time'357 reviews Tor Books, 2009 Enjoy It While It Lasts This book showcases what's best in Wheel of Time, and is one of the only pieces of serial fiction I can truly give 5 stars to. The first book was too slow and "introductory" to be fully entertaining, but here in the second book the fun and adventure really starts. Rand, Mat, and Perrin are still together on an adventure, with only temporary separations. Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are likewise ...             Old Man's War363 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Highly recommended!! John Perry joins the army on his 75th birthday after a quiet life as an advertising copy writer in middle America. He and his wife had both signed the Intent to Join ten years previously and had a few standard medical tests but it wasn't binding. Now, with Kathy long dead and an adult son who no longer needs him, Perry feels like joining the army is a pretty good idea. They'll make him younger, ...             The Sword of Truth Box Set, Books 4-6: Temple of the Winds; Soul of the Fire; Faith of the Fallen50 reviews Terry Goodkind Tor Books, 2002 Amazing Boxed set arrived 2 weeks before delivery date, amazing service. Books were in perfect condition.             Winter's Heart: Book Nine of 'The Wheel of Time'1103 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Fantastic The book was a gift for my daughter and she could not have been more pleased. She has long since read it and I am about to get her another one. It arrived exactly when predicted and shipped to a second address just fine.             Speaker for the Dead431 reviews Tor Books, 2009 Careful! This Book Could Start a Religion Coming right off Ender's Game I didn't know quite what to expect. I had predicted the penultimate chapter of Ender's Game but I expected the story to end there. I had been impressed with the cutting insights into the human condition but I did not foresee the end at all. I was rocked back on my heels as I blew through the final chapter. When I noticed it was called "Speaker for the Dead" I was hit ...             Mistborn: The Final Empire236 reviews Tor Books, 2010 Review of Mistborn Oh my goodness this was a fun book. I read the first chapter and had chills going up and down my arms while just sensing that I was in for quite a ride. I was completely drawn into the world Sanderson created for Vin. (Bravo for strong female leads!). Sanderson uses a very different, unique method of magic in Mistborn and, I won't lie, it took me a bit to get used to the pulling and pushing ...              search for books boneshaker, books, daggers, dragon, empire, faith, fallen, final, flight, gathering, great, heart, memory, midnight, mistborn, original, overtime, philia, reborn, speaker, stone, storm, tears, temple, three, towers, wheel, winds, winter, wizard books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
