The Lone Ranger looks great. print or paper? I got the Red Diamond books too. I wonder how far King is planning to take the Dark Tower series? Probably as far as the money takes it…
Mine is up too.
It’s a print book from Moonstone. http://www.Moonstonebooks.com James Reasoner and Bill Crider both have stories, as well as a number of other fine western writers.
I read the Red Diamond series back in the Stone Age and really enjoyed them. The Mike Hammer (and, with luck, the Wormser) is in my queue for this week. I have the Adams buried somewhere unread and really have to dig it out. The rest of your haul has me drooling.
I am a fan of fiction, no matter the age group it is listed under. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and the Twilight Saga are among my favorite series of all time. With that said, this series is not even a tenth of the quality of the greats (although it mentions 2 of those 3 within it’s pages). The main character reads as a horny 15 year old, and I imagine that is the only age group that would enjoy the constant lusting for different boys while in midst of a major war.As a final book to the series, Bloodrose greatly disappoints. I predicted exactly who would die, and as I expected, Cremer chose the easiest way out of a love triangle. The characters that were so well developed in the first two books fell away as secondary and two dimensional. Conner annoyed me, and I loved him Wolfsbane. I feel as though Bryn, Ansel, Mason, Nev and Ren said 4 sentences a piece throughout the books; even then they were jokes that a 10 year old would think comical. Calla has to be the angsty teenager that everyone hates. Boys are what matter. Did she even cry over the loss of her mother? Did the most disappointing death in this book (without giving away spoilers) even shake her for more than 5 minutes? She most certainly doesn’t act like an Alpha Wolf, crying over her feelings and shaking in fear of heights. Her packmates never treat her as an Alpha, never asking permission before running off or choosing their own fights. She lets both boys kiss her and melts with their touch, all the while telling one or the other that she isn’t choosing either of them. Of all the characters in Bloodrose, Sabine outshined all of them. Even then, I STILL hate her.The ending resolution is the easiest thing that Cremer could think of. The last four chapters alone made me wish I had never started the series. If you are a fan of the previous two books, go into it with low expectations. The “resolution” will leave you saying, “WTF? That’s it?” The least believable ending to a book that I have ever read.
