Back on the scene

Saturday, August 19, 2017



I have been silent since October 2015. Back then, my second born wasn't even one year old and blogging had become an issue.  I haven't stopped reading but I have to admit that I have slowed quite a bit, for a time... My reading sessions were back to a simpler reading for pleasure time but every now and then, I still had the habit of taking notes on my reader.

I missed contributing in small parts to the blogosphere and had a hard time of keeping track of the releases I looked forward to, the Fantasy maps, the covers, the news and all the rest. While I still don't have an infinite amount of time to give to my blog, I think that I can share my experience and contribute for those looking for Epic Fantasy tidbits.

The posts I'll write will probably be very similar in style to what I wrote from 2009 to 2015 but I have a new idea for review. It's not a revolution but I'll try to give a more straightforward opinion to help you choose the books you could pick instead of going into an intricate break down.

So, what have I been reading or listening to in the past year and a half? I'll write another post with the list and some comments about the books.

What else? I'll change the blog template, the map index need a good update and isn't the Game of Thrones series still amazing!

    a small hiatus

    Monday, September 28, 2015


    I'm doing some thinking about my blogging and I should be back soon with a decision.

    Meanwhile, I just finished Half the World by Joe Abercrombie and I'm nearing the end of The Witcher 3, one of the most amazing game ever, even more so when you have read Sapkowski's novels.

    Hope to return soon.

    UPDATE: after a month o f giving thoughts to my blogging, I decided to keep going. We'll see in a couple of months if I can keep up...

    R. Scott Bakker's The Unholy Consult update

    Monday, June 22, 2015


    Back in October 2013, Bakker announced that he had finished his first draft of the Unholy Consult, the third and final novel in the Aspect Emperor series. Since then, the book was supposed to be in the hands of editors but it looks like, as the author mentioned today on his blog, Bakker's publisher may be "re-evaluating their commitment to the series". Fear not for the worst that can happen, at least still from his post, is a delay. I'm really eager to finish the series but I can wait, hoping that I don't forget too much of how things ended in the previous book...

    What about you? Any readers of Bakker's work eager for his sixth Fantasy novel? Are the Prince of Nothing and Aspect Emperor series not getting enough press? Is Bakker disregarded for the denser philosophical side of his writing? May the slog continues! Here's the author's comment:
    And lastly, things keep dragging on with my publishers regarding The Unholy Consult. My delay turning the manuscript in and the quick turnover of editorial staff in the industry means that no one was up to speed on the series–but six months on from submission, and still we have no word. My fear (not my agent’s) is that they might be re-evaluating their commitment to the series–the way all publishers are reviewing their commitments to their midlist authors. I know for a fact that other publishers are interested in snapping the series up, so there’s no need to organize a wake, but who knows what kind of delay would result. Perhaps shooting them emails explaining why they should believe this series will continue growing might help? I dunno. 
    The market only grows more and more crowded, and still there’s nothing quite like The Second Apocalypse. Distinction is key in this day and age…

    As you can see, The Two of Swords will be serialized in three novels, available now.

    Do you care about K.J. Parker real identity?

    Have you read some of Tom Holt books?


    Anthony Ryan's Queen of fire cover and blurb

    Monday, December 8, 2014


    Anthony Ryan posted the US cover (from ACE) for the third and final novel in his Raven's Shadow series (Blood Song and Tower Lord), titled Queen of Fire.  While I loved the first book, the second was a disappointment, thought not bad, and I'll pick up the last book to finish the story of Vaelin. The book will be out July 7th 2015.  Here's the blurb:
    Vaelin Al Sorna must help his Queen reclaim her Realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered… 
    “The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe or murder committed at the behest of a dark vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task.” 
    After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant—those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark—and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep. 
    Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail—a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent…

I think that Robin Hobb or Brandon Sanderson are likely winners. What do you think?

    R. Scott Bakker's Second apocalypse short and update

    Thursday, October 2, 2014


    R. Scott Bakker posted an update about the editing of the last novel of the Second Apocalypse series and second trilogy, The Aspect Emperor, titled The Unholy Consult. Sadly for avid readers waiting patiently for the novel : 
     I’ve received feedback from several readers now, but nothing officially editorial. I’m in the process of cleaning up the issues emerging from the feedback I’ve received now.
    Hopefully, we may read more from the world of history of Earwa with a short story Bakker wrote called The Knife of Many Hands that will be published in the Grimdark Magazine in a near future (split into two parts). We don't know if that future will be before the final opus but it looks like it.  What is it about you ask?
    [...] a short-story set in Carythusal on the eve of the Scholastic Wars.
    Sounds interesting don't you think?

    Releases updates - Lynch, McClellan and Cameron

    Tuesday, December 17, 2013

    Some new information surfaced recently in regard to the release of at least three eagerly awaited Fantasy release of 2014.

    ***


    The Fell Sword by Miles Cameron, the second book of the Traitor Son Cycle (following the stellar debut The Red Knight, head over here for my review) was supposed to be released at the end of 2013. I have received word from Orbit books that the release dates have been delayed to February 15th in the UK and March 30th in North America.

    ***


    Another follow-up to a great debut, The Crimson Campaign, second book in the Powder Mage Trilogy (my review of Promise of Blood is here) by Brian McClellan also received the postponement treatment. This time again, the wait isn't too long with a release date of May 6th instead of February 18th.  Brian posted about the reasons behind this delay at his page.

    ***


    Finally, to lift the spirits, there's at least one book release news that should please Scott Lynch readers. The author of the Gentleman Bastard sequence told blogger Fantastical Imaginations that The Thorn of Emberlain, the fourth book in the series should be out by the end of 2014! It's still a tentative date but he's confident he can make it.

    What do you think?  Did you vote this year?

    The Unholy Consult is done

    Monday, October 7, 2013


    Fans of R. Scott Bakker rejoice, the final piece of the Aspect Emperor trilogy, The Unholy Consult, follow-up to The White-Luck Warrior released on May 2011, is done (the first draft at least).  Mr. Bakker posted the news last week on his blog, Three Pound Brain. There's still no blurb for the book and the projected release date of July 2014 is now unlikely (with the editing process).
    So I finished the first draft of The Unholy Consult 3:14 pm, yesterday afternoon. Things are feeling kinda surreal – it’s been a helluva long haul, man! There’s still a tremendous amount of work to be done. I have exhaustive rewrites planned for a couple of the plot-lines – about a quarter of the book all told. But for whatever reason I became insanely meticulous fleshing out the master plot, and even though it remains uber-generic all the way down, I’m pretty sure nothing like it has been written before.  Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I don’t know. The best I can do is take it to the limit of my abilities and nothing more.
    And from the comments: 
    [...] 
    It is almost exactly 300 000 words as it stands. 
    Yes, but I can’t really comment on them. TUC wraps all the arcs established through the series thus far – brings me to the end of my original story idea, way back when. If I were to keel over tomorrow, the mortician would have to use forceps and wire to wipe the shit-eating grin from my face.
    That's 100 000 more words than The Warrior Prophet and The White-Luck Warrior.  

    Sam Sykes' The City Stained Red cover and blurb

    Tuesday, September 17, 2013


    Sam Sykes, the author of the Aeons' Gate series (Tome of the Undergates, Black Halo and The Skybound Sea) released some info and his feelings about the cover art of his next novel, The City Stained Red, first book of a new trilogy named Bring Down Heaven (Sam's post at Gollancz blog).

    Sykes explains it with:
    Set against the city of Cier’Djaal, economic powerhouse of the world whose horse-sized spiders produce the silk that every nation craves, it is a tale of collapse. 
    It is the story of how the morals of a society collapse before pragmatism, revolutionary cultists crowing the name of their god in hell as they throw themselves at the organized dynasty of assassins and thieves that have run the city since it began. 
    It is the story of how the ideas of harmony collapse before ideas of independence, with several races, human and monstrous, set upon a tiny spit of land and given just so many resources to share it and seeing how long it takes for one of them to pick up a knife. 
    It is the story of how gods collapse before mortals, when god cannot save a man languishing in the shadow of his wealthy neighbors and he finds himself putting aside prayer and picking up a blade. 
    It is the story of how things change between six people when they find themselves standing at the center of a field full of corpses and wondering just how the hell it happened that they can’t let go of the sword in their hands.
    And the blurb:
    Long before he was sent to hell, the Aeon known as Khoth-Kapira was the closest thing to a living god the world had ever known. Possessed of a vast intellect, he pioneered many of the wonders that persist in the world that lingered long after he was banished. Nearly every fragment of medical, economic and technological progress that the mortal races enjoyed could be traced back to him. But with his wonders came cruelty beyond measure: industrialized slavery, horrifying experimentations and a rage that would eventually force the world to bow to him. Now, as Khoth-Kapira stirs the world begins to shudder with disasters yet to come.The epicenter is the city of Cier'Djaal. A religious war between two unstoppable military juggernauts begins to brew. The racial fury among many peoples of the world is about to explode. Demons begin to pour from the shadows at the head of a vicious cult worshipping dark powers. And Lenk finds himself in the middle once more, his fate and the fate of Khoth-Kapira interlinked as the demon attempts to convince him of his earnestness. "Your world is breaking around you," He Who Makes says, "let me fix it. Let me help you. Let me out."
    The book should be out "soon"...

    Have you read some Sykes yet?  How was it (my copy of Tome of the Undergates wait patiently on my to-read pile...)?
