It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

So this week I'm easing (or rather crashing head first) into the New Year with bright new intentions and a go-getter attitude! My aim is for 2-3 books per month (1-2 if they are longer than 500 pages) and 3-4 posts per week. I've been neglecting the old blog and I've missed posting regularly! So I'm gonna get back at it!

This week (Monday 28th-3rd) I'm going to be reading these lovely books:


 















 The Fires of Heaven is a BIGGG book, so you'll probably see it next week too! What are you guys reading this week?

Quick Review-The Great Hunt

This is the second book in the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan. Rand and his friends are out to find the Horn of Valere, that was stolen by an evil man. I loved how Jordan writes! I love how much more character development we got to see. Each character is woven into the pattern, as it is called, and each plays an integral part in saving the world.

Rand's dilemma is intense. He has a calling but doesn't want to face it. He is definitely a tragic Hero type of character, but it's not overdone. He makes his choices and deals with the consequences. I'm reading this series to be a part of the challenge (look to the right sidebar) and I just cannot wait to delve deeper into this world!

The only problem I had with this was the length. This is an epic tale and the size of the book is HUGE! There were a few slow moments where I thought it could do with a bit of trimming, but that didn't kill the story. I will give this one a 4/5 rating and suggest this series (so far) to anyone that loves a good fantasy story!

I'm reading this one for the WoT challenge and so far love it! Here's my teaser ;) Enjoy!


"A crowd of village men, some three dozen or so, clustered near the burned-out husk of the peddler's wagon, night pushed back by the torches some of them carried. Moiraine faced them, her back to the inn, leaning with seeming casualness on her walking staff" from pg. 128
