Peter Brett - The Painted Man (Warded Man)

[wild_ice]

Just finsihed reading this and it is absolutely brilliant.

LOL, good to hear P. My reading has been prolific again. Loads of stuff read and Im currently going through catalogues for my picks for the next six months. Oooohhhh the agony. LOL

[wild_ice]

The next book is due - I think early next year and is called 'Desert Spear'. I can't wait!

[drosdelnoch]

April if memory serves, will speak to my contact to get firm details for you P.

[wild_ice]

OOh that would be great. I don't think I have been this excited about a new author for ages. I think the last time I was really looking forward to a book so much was DG Troy series.

I'm eagerly anticipating the next book. I found the Painted Man a book utterly brilliant and couldn't put it down. The story was very original and he's writing very well. It will be interesting to see what he has in store for us next and how Arlen, Leesha and Rojan will fare on their new adventures.

I also like how Peter Brett has managed to include such a wide time span in his story, but done so well at that. I thought it was done weird or wrong, but it was just perfect. I also appreciated how he has made the world so rich in history. A history we get to know more about the more we read. For me it wasn't only the obvious story, but also the story of Thesa and how the world had been before the return.

A book every fantasy reader should read.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the next one too. Couldn't put the Painted Man down.

[wild_ice]

And he responds personally to emails!!!!!! I was wowed when I sent an email to his website and HE responded - way cool.

I've been drooling over the front cover of desert spear!

[Eddy]

Yeah!

I can't wait. It's definately my most eagerly awaited book at the mo'.

[drosdelnoch]

I should shortly have a list of whats coming out for the next six months from most UK publishers. Woohhoo.

[wild_ice]

i wanna know when this next book it out *pouts*.

[drosdelnoch]

If it helps, I have the date of 5th of April from the publishers. Hope that helps you P. If I get it earlier than that I'll let you know.

[Padaxes]

Well all this hype has prompted to try to get the book off Bookmooch.

[Eddy]

[drosdelnoch]

Nearly as good as the original eddy.
