What are we reading?

[Martok]

Have just begun re-reading Brandon Sanderson's fantastic Mistborn trilogy.  Am curious to see what clues I pick up on now that I know how it goes (although it's been a few years, so my memory's a bit foggy at this point).

I've never heard of that series. Now I'll have to add it to the crushing weight already on my virtual nightstand. Thanks.

You're welcome.  :D 

Fair warning, though:  Sanderson likes to play around with tropes (especially fantasy tropes) a good deal, including having characters lampshade them in-story.  He writes some great stories, but the trope-fiddling can be a bit off-putting unless/until you get used to it.

Just started: Shinsengumi - The Shogun's Last Samurai Corps by Romulus Hillsborough.

I should change my first name to Romulus.

Star should change his first name to Remus.

Who's the wolf?

Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos.

I picked this up last weekend after my son recommended it. Four days later and I'm on the third book. It's solid, solid sci/fi and one of the best military sci/fi series I've ever read. Seriously, I can compare it to Starship Troopers or The Forever War with a straight face.

Who's the wolf?

Duh. You.

[Gusington]

I lack suckleable tits.

Steelie I read Terms of Enlistment last year, really liked it. I have Angles of Attack (book 2) ready to go while I play some Homeward Remastered. I've read that the third book is kind of weak...you disagree?

Nobody's perfect.

[Sir Slash]

How ironic. I suck lackable tits.

I'm only about fifty pages into the third book so I don't have a real opinion yet, but so far so good. Angles of Attack is a must read if you enjoyed Terms.

[Gusington]

Slash I just spit my corn flakes all over the place, thanks.

Steelie some reviews said the third book is kinda dull and can be totally skipped over...4th book to be released in April IIRC.

[BanzaiCat]

Just looked up Terms of Enlistment. It looks like a good read.

[Sir Slash]

Sorry about your corn flakes Gus. Tell your wife I did it.

[Martok]

Can Terms of Enlistment be read as a standalone piece?  I enjoy my military sci-fi, but have no desire to get caught up in a series that isn't finished yet.
