Haplo, targeted for death by two assassins, and Alfred enter the terrifying Labyrinth, a prison …
Really more of an obligation than anything else right now...

“Amateurish” is the only way I can describe this.
Compels me though.

I feel like so far, it's just been a recap of the first 4 books, followed by another recap of the first book.

Still a weird mess, and the characters are dumb as planks, but it is compelling.

The variance of quality is wild. So far it's pretty good, and Haplo is way less insufferable after his "re-education" than I remember.
Aaron finished reading Fire Sea by Margaret Weis (The Death Gate Cycle, #3)
Fire Sea Abarrach, the Realm of stone. Here, on a barren world of underground caverns …
Read 90% on the trip to NZ.
It doesn't hold up well (though the bad OCR is not doing it any favours), but it's easily digestible, especially midway through a 30+ hour trip.

So when you're already stressed out about something, listening to a guy calmly describe being assaulted in a psychiatric hospital doesn't help your state of mind. So I switched to The Weekly Planet podcast...

The percentage is a lie because I skipped ahead and read chapter 3 (about Anarchism at work).
I have an all-day meeting tomorrow (well today actually, holy shit it's 1am!) that is probably going to cause me to quit and I'm really not looking forward to it... But at least it's encouraging to read and have it reinforced that hating ones job isn't a moral failing.

Recommended to be explicitly by my wife, and implicitly by the workmate who put it into the work book share.
For some reason I thought, you know what? Imma listen to this one. No real reason why, it just seemed like a fun idea.
Aaron finished reading Elven Star by Margaret Weis (The Death Gate Cycle, #2)
Elven Star On steamy Pryan, Realm of Fire, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created …
I'm not sure of they took turns writing the books, but this one is a completely different tone and... not nearly as good...
A lot of that is because of Fiznab though. Completely insufferable.

Will the Sartan manage to stop the nefarious Patryn before he can complete his evil schemes? I... don't really remember. The dog is his conscience or something?

Just like Marx, I don't think I can get much out of this reading it on the tram...
Back to Dragons and Wizards for a bit.

I probably won't finish this before picking up something else, but I need a quick break from YA Fantasy nonsense.
Aaron finished reading Dragon Wing by Margaret Weis (The Death Gate Cycle, #1)
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms--sky, stone, fire, and …
Feels like a lot of setup. Tonnaly it's a bit all over the place.
I remember thinking as a teen that this felt like a more adult book. But I gotta say, it's YA through and through.

Not hating it so far. I have only vague recollections of the story though.
However, we get it, Alfred is clumsy, you don't have to labour the point literally every time he does something...
