Ouch! ::tries to sit down::
Exam...done. Crap. One possible two left to go, depending on how I feel in the morning when I try to wake up.
I've started reading Lackey's Last Herald-Mage series. I'm not that impressed with it on the whole, somethings about it fall flat IMO (for example: the first two books of the trilogy have ended with the titular Herald-Mage fighting someone powerful, getting beat up, and then coming back from death's door, a device I'm beginning to find more hatred for each time I come upon), but as is my tendency with books (see: Foreigner, Otherland, Tom Strong, etc etc) I get caught up in the life of the main character and just have to see how it's been played out.
I'm coming to the end of the last book and I'm hesitating. Which surprises me. If the pattern holds (and the climax builds true) there's good money on the main character and/or his lover biting it in the last couple of pages. Dying nobly, but dying nonetheless. And, dang it, I like him. Them. It's not their fault they got flung into a fictional word with too much verbal exposition.
I should just read and get it over with. I'm such a twat. *sigh*
Re: THE END
Wackest ending EVER.
Bloody hell. You mean to tell me he'd wait all that time? The fudge, man?? It's obvious she had no way to end it and tried the "cute and poignant" route.
I really did dislike it. Curse my teary eyes and scratchy throat.
