Finished the first read of Jim Butcher's Princeps' Fury, so now I can pass that one to Scott. I may reread, depending on when he finishes and what my life is like then. Very, very good book. I have to say that where it left off this time was vicious. A year to the next book, and it seems far, far too long, as always. But oh it was good to get to read this book.
Next on the list is rereading Michelle West's Cast In Fury, which is also an excellent book (and also part of a series). Although this series tends to be a little more standalone - it's a good idea to read them in order, but the end of one book is unlikely to leave you wailing for the next to find out how things turn out. There's a little more resolution.
Either way, both excellent books.
I also read Lackey's One Good Knight recently. I didn't really expect to like it (Lackey's tropes and tendencies, combined with the premise of the setting, wasn't promising). I was impressed by how trite and pathetic it was, though. It had a couple good moments, but trust me, it's not worth the bother to get to them. (I read that one during the snowstorm. I think the only reason I finished it was that I'd had too many rereads and needed something new, even if it was annoying.)
