Your Call

I've hit a bit of a snag.

I'm not sure which book to read and review next--the release dates are relatively close together (or close enough not to really matter).

Which would you prefer to get reviews of first:
  • Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley
  • The Elves of Cintra by Terry Brooks
  • The Blade itself by Joe Abercrombie
It's a tough call to make.

John, may I strongly suggest that you read and review "The Elves of Cintra" by Terry Brooks after you have read and reviewed book one - "Armageddon's Children" by Terry Brooks? For reasons, that us, Terry Brooks fans knows, reading them out of order could confuse all readers of this fine series.

"The Blade Itself" by Joe Abercrombie is fantastic read; it would be great if you could review this one with a view of adding the next book in this series later on.

Now "Winterbirth" by Brian Ruckley I have not come across before. So therefore I may as well choose this one.

I was lucky enough to win winterbirth after Pat's fantasy hotlist put it as the best debut of 2006. Very good. That said, The Blade Itself, is hilarious. IMO forget Terry Brooks for the mo!
