A reading update, and friends make it worthwhile
I have finished reading the second Gotrek & Felix Omnibus, a while ago actually. Initially I had planned on moving on to The Ghost King, the third book in the Forgotten Realms Transitions trilogy, which I had received as a Christmas gift from my sister. However, since it has been a while since I read book two, The Pirate King, I figured it wouldn't be any harm to move on to the third Gotrek & Felix Omnibus and save The Ghost King for when I was done.
I've already finished the first novel in the omnibus, Giantslayer, and moved on to Orcslayer which is where Nathan Long had picked up the series. I have to say, even though I'm not even halfway through it, the difference between William King's writing and Nathan Long's is noticeable. I can't complain about the difference though, as I'm finding that I actually seem to prefer Nathan Long's style. You see, I'm very much weaned on fantasy fiction by starting out with much of the initial Dragonlance novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, then moving on to Forgotten Realms when I had consumed most of what was available in the Dragonlance "universe". I found that I preferred Forgotten Realms, particularly R. A. Salvatore's writing style, and stuck with it never looking back. While my love for the Forgotten Realms and Dungeons & Dragons in general has kept me waiting with baited breath for new novels to be released, I have ventured over to the Black Library to seek literary sustenance in their Warhammer Fantasy offerings (Warhammer 40k has never really caught my interest).
