I actually ran across the street at lunch to Borders and picked up Cursor's Fury. So we'll see how it is. How many books are there total?

I hate listing my favorite books because I tend to enjoy a lot of different books from authors I like so I will list my favorite authors instead:

Robert A. Heinlen
J.R.R Tolken
Frank Herbert
Orson Scott Card
Chuck Palahniuk
Ursula K. LeGuin
Isaac Asimov
Ray Bradbury

I hope Miz has been buzily devouring The TimeShips.

Series could do without Amara. For a Cursor she seems pretty shit tier(yeah, she's fast but like, is that it? QQ) TavKit are always awesome on screen(books are movies in my head) Bernard is a pretty cool guy. he shoots arrows and doesnt afraid of anything. Isana is...whatever(in my mind she's played by demi moore).

Spoiler: show

Because it's off-topic:

Amara is young, remember that the opening story started with her final cursor exam. I think she's only a year or two older than Tavi, and I'm pretty sure Bernard is robbing the cradle. And yeah, she's a one-trick pony. However, her one trick is absurdly powerful. As far as furies go, her wind fury rivals the potency of many wild furies. She's on par with the wind-crafting abilities of many Citizens in terms of power, if not control. In addition, she's smart enough to question authority, which means she's got brains to go with her fury-crafted abilities. As a cursor, her job is to gather information, not necessarily to be a fighter. Look at Ehren, and to a lesser extent, Tavi. They are not prized for their furycrafting, but a cursor's power isn't rooted in furycrafting, and they have both proved to be phenominal cursors.

I do agree with what you're getting at though, Metal- and Fire-crafters are fucking awesome, and those characters with a good measure of control over multiple furies really seem to have impossible advantages over other folk.

*glee*

Isn't it such an epic continuation of the idea?

I mean fuck, I've never seen anyone properly demonstrate the utterly minute scales of human experience as Baxter does.

I dont really have 10 Books, but the Morningstar Strain series of horror novels are awesome.

*can't wait for Miz to reach the last few chapters of the book, after you get reinserted into your own perspective and the fulfilling yet fucking mantear generating ending*

These are pretty decent. Though to me they seem to be a failed movie script turned book.

@Acturus

You're right about Amara. I forgot that part about her and damn that Bernard

Anyone read any Glen Cook? I just picked up the first 3 books of the Black Company series...finished the first one today. Pretty good so far.
