Still reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I haven’t considered them to be very long, but maybe I’ve read too many Sanderson novels. They all tend to have the same pacing and plot devices. It’s been long enough since I read the first few that I can’t remember if they get shorter or longer. The more recent ones where Andrew Child co-authors seem shorter to me.

      Heh, well, Sanderson’s novels aren’t that long, well, not counting Stormlight Archive that is. Specially when you compare them to most books in fantasy genre.

      As for Reacher novels, I haven’t read many action / adventure / crime novels, but those that I have read haven’t been very long, mostly around 300-400 page count, so Reacher’s length was a surprise. If it was a fantasy book, wouldn’t even have noticed it probably.
