Some of you know I review books for a major publication. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that I just got a book in that absolutely blew me away. Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind, coming out next year. The book is seriously, simply great, high fantasy and pure genious. I always read books through twice before I write my review, and in rapid succession (usually within a week or two of each other), and I was as wrapped up in the story the second time through as the first. The man has serious chops. And to add to the insanity, it's his freaking debut novel. I can't give you any details about the book (part of my contract) but I don't think this small comment is a problem, so . . .

 

Why am I telling you this now? Because doing some quick internet research on the author for the review I googled his name and stumbled on an e-bay auction; some idiot reviewer has put up his advance reading copy for bid. ***This is not me; I'm fairly certain it would be a breach of contract to do this, and besides, I'm keeping mine***. For anyone who might be interested in what probably will be the best book of next year, you should check it out. (Again, this is not my auction, I am not mentioning this to pump up the price. Ask anyone on the debates and discussion board, they know me well enough to know I wouldn't lie about something as stupid as that. Just thought some of the folks on here who like good fantasy might find the info useful)

Hey! Thanks for the info! I'll check it out when it comes out. :D
