What did you guys think of the book?
Personally it is one of my favorites. To be honest, when I read it the second time+, I skipped most of Will and Evelyn and went strait to Halt and Horace. I found their banter entertaining and slightly relatable. What about you?

That's interesting. I was so worried about Will's state that I wanted Horace and Halt's story to end quickly so I read those parts faster. Still, both parts of the story was nice to read. The relationship between Halt and Horace was great, and sometimes pretty funny. Halt and Will's reunion surely melted my heart.

I just finished The Icebound lands. I think it definitely was pretty good! I most say its my favorite yet because, well, I've only read three so far. XD

Did you like it more than The Ruins of Gorlan and The Burning Bridge? When you've finished The Oakleaf Bearers, you should read Erak's Ransom (book 7) next, rather than The Sorcerer in the North (book 5).

I do. Except when it comes to The Early Years. If you read them before you've read The Kings of Clonmel, it will give crucial information away.

Really? Huh, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Oh yeah. Lord Deparnieux is a very cool bad guy.
That's alright, anytime!

Which of the two did you like more?
And yes, I like cool baddies and Lord Deparnieux definitely fit in that category for me. :-)

Deparnieux was pretty annoying, yeah. But I like villains that I can relate to more than those who are simply cruel. Still, corrupt nobles are a problem in there so he was a good villain to put in.

I liked The Icebound Land more, though they're pretty close.
Relatable villains are better. I like it when a bad guy is absolutely wicked beyond compare but there is a tiny hint of his/her childhood or something that explains why they're that way. Imaginations are great at sympathizing.

I would say that sounds a bit like Sauron, but then again, the readers (or watchers) don't really get to see his childhood.... |
