Freeloading Phill and ...

The Towers of Midnight by "Brian"* Sanderson

Firstly before I get to today's agenda let me apologise for the recent lack of posting.
I have suffered through a small bought of man-cold (not after all, it turns out, the Swan Flu that Big J is grappling with) and have been occupied for the rest of my time alternating between Baby Whispering and Cat Shouting - possibly getting it mixed up at inappropriate times much to Hulk and The Tiger's chagrin.

Now onto today's agenda. Let me apologise for once again mentioning the Wheel o' Tedium books but breathe easy in knowing that we are almost there with this being the penultimate volume. It does appear that Mr Sanderson has been true to his word and is wrapping up the story in three books rather than the 14 or so that Robert Jordan's outline would have lead him to write.

So well done Brian* in writing a volume that moves the story on upon multiple fronts and finally feels like it will actually all come to a head in the next volume. I award it 6 Dune prequels.


* name changed to protect the innocent and not at all to annoy nit-picking Nurse Nige who I have no need of annoying especially since the great "Feargal Sharkey's Best Song" debate of '01 - "You Little Thief" indeed!
