And wow, I do feel myself so much and so completely immersed in and enveloped by the the author's presented narrative that with Hello Ocean I can almost literally see, feel, touch and smell the ocean myself (and can actually also and well imagine being that little girl, experiencing the waves, the sun, the scent of the salt wind, the touch of the sand, the squishy sea kelp on my bare skin). Poetically, lyrically, evocatively a young girl delightfully and glowingly textually describes how the ocean is her oldest and dearest friend, how she loves the sights, the sounds, the touch, the smells and tastes of the sea. Yes indeed, Hello Ocean (penned by Pam Muñoz Ryan and graced with and by Mark Estrella’s glowing and luminous accompnying illustrations) truly and utterly delightfully present an opulent magical feast for the senses, and definitely for ALL of the senses. ![]()

![]() Tolkein may have started modern fantacy, but authors like Salvatore and Weis and Hickman have brought it to whole new levels. The Dark Elf Trilogy is a fundamental fantacy novel which has all of the basic components for a great read, and also has given later authors ideas for some of their works. I liked the earlier books the best, some of the later books were fairly bogged down and although they did not end the world they did close the door for future adventures in that realm. Although I am somewhat new to the Forgotten Realms world, I have read many of the DragonLance books. ![]() ![]() These books are written in the same style as the Icewind Dale series, and both of these trilogies rank right up there with the Weis and Hickman Dragonlance books. ![]() Salvatore heard the cries for more Drizzt and answered with a prequel series. ![]() ![]() Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family's orbit, for reasons none of them understand.

Thomas’s plot from Peace Talks drops off the face of the earth once the Titan Ethniu shows up, and we don’t get resolution until the very end of Battle Ground. ![]() There was both not enough and too much of both plots, and spreading them out across two companion books didn’t work. Book 16 should’ve been Thomas’s plot and book 17 the Titan invasion. I don’t know how the decision was made to make Peace Talks and Battle Ground two separate books, but that was the first bad choice. All that being said, the two most recent installations made me question my loyalty. I’m deeply invested in the characters and series. At this point, I tend to just by whatever book comes out without even needing to know what it’s about. I’ve been through ups and downs, rush jobs and long delays. I have been reading The Dresden Files, well, not since the beginning but for at least a decade. ![]() |
