Third book in The Dark Tower series, The Waste Lands, by Stephen King. A great fantasy series, 8.5/10 so far, and it only gets better. Just ordered the next three and is impatiently awaiting their arrival...

Book four, Wizard and Glass.. and Book five, Wolves of the Callah, are (Without spoiling) probably the best two of the series. you're 8.5 will go up. Can you imagine what it would've been like reading them in real time? Gunslinger book one (1982) - The Dark Tower book seven (2004) Man, I don't think I would've made it.

I seriously can't wait. Second half of The Waste Lands was insane. I must honestly say that The Drawing of the Three kinda irritated me a little bit at times, but it ended well.

Ended up cancelling my order and ordered the remaining 7 of them on a different site (they were all -50% off).

Anyway...

Tales From the Perilous Realm by JRR Tolkien. 8/10 for me.

Mat's my favorite character.

***SPOILER***

And I think his character gets even better after he goes to Rhuidean ^_^

Right up until book 12.. Brandon Sanderson did a decent job with certain characters, however, he butchered Mat for me. :cry:

Anyhow, just finished Lies of Lock Lamora.. It was pretty good.

I caught up in the series just as the prequel was published and stopped reading them because the of the wait until the next one was expected to release.

I'm excited to see what Sanderson could do with Jordan's notes but I can't make myself skip to where I left off without rebuilding my memory of characters, events, politics, etc.

Edit for no spam: I just finished The Shadow Rising last night.
