Rayne, I have also read the Rothfuss books, and I liked them very, very much! BIG recommend!
I DL'd the sample chapter of "Miss Peregrine's..." and really wanted to like it...and didn't.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Man. . . somebody posted at Westeros that Waterstone sent their book already (probably arriving tomorrow) and somebody else got a call from the local bookshop that their copy was ready to be picked up and meanwhile, Amazon doesn't even have my copy (of ADWD) "shipping soon."

Hey. New board.
I just finished my re-read of Ice and Fire.
I have to say, there are a lot of criticizers of A Feast for Crows, but I think it is one of the best books in the series. Yes, I wish I saw more of the missing characters, but the scope of the series is so thoroughly expanded in the book that I just don't mind.
Do we know how many books are planned? ADwD is supposed to cover all of the AFFC timeline plus some more, I know. How much longer before the climax?

The status is NOT quo.
How much longer before the climax?

move out and draw fire
I started reading "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" but stopped about a third of the way in.
I've heard this from a bunch of folks, but the whole presentation of the book is right up my DH's alley, so I got it for him. He actually quite liked it.
It is the first in a series, though, and doesn't even make a pretense of ending. Basically, it's the "inciting incident" for the overall story. Yes, the whole book is the inciting incident.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Gris, i read that the goal is 7 books (7 kingdoms, 7 aspects of the divine..)
And given how long #5 took, i think we can all safely assume we will not live to see the climax.
