Title: Re: Books Post by: Satan on August 19, 2007, 08:03:30 PM well the Sword of Truth series is about Richard Rahl first having to overthrow his evil fathers rule and then he has to destroy the imperial order who think they are mankinds savior by destroying all magic and making everyone give everything they own away. Wizards First Rule is about Richard having to fight his way to Darken Rahl's Palace and finally kill him to stop him from using ancient magic to enslave the world. The second book is about Richards journey to the old world where he was taken by the sisters of light, who are sorceress that try to teach wizards.

Title: Re: Books Post by: Satan on August 21, 2007, 02:22:23 AM review for The City of Ember
It was an okay book but a few things didn't really make sense, such as where they hid the city and how it was built... but the main plotline was ok. id give it a 6/10 ill write upm a reveiw fo rthe second book in the series but rihgt now im too lazy Title: Re: Books Post by: Lammalord on August 21, 2007, 02:36:25 AM the newest book out i heard is about before the city was built and how it came to be also alot more shows up on what the city was about int he second book, most of its left out in the first one because the people of ember simply dont know..
Title: Re: Books Post by: zephyrblade on August 21, 2007, 06:59:38 AM I'm thinking that this probably deserves a sticky, but.....
Title: Re: Books Post by: PrincessDrak on August 21, 2007, 12:10:39 PM The Numbered ones are within the storyline of Discword directly, the ones that are not numbered are also Discworld but not part of the primary story line.
Title: Re: Books Post by: Lammalord on August 21, 2007, 07:48:11 PM oh like an other section... okay thanks.
i wouldnt mind if people started to post reviews on the books already up as well as add in more i would like to know more about these series than a bunch of names :) Title: Re: Books Post by: PrincessDrak on August 22, 2007, 02:27:50 PM Discworld is hard to describe... it is a fantasy setting... Terry Pratchett has been called the Douglas Adams of Fantasy... he is however far more hillarious, and his stories are far more in depth than that.
Title: Re: Books Post by: Lammalord on August 22, 2007, 05:03:58 PM hmm well you posted 2 more series care to elerbrate on what books thouse authors have?
Title: Re: Books Post by: PrincessDrak on August 23, 2007, 01:09:57 PM Well, the Dark Tower series by Steven King is a world all its own, my favorite book being the 'Gun Slinger'.
Mix Magic and Sorcery with good old fashin gun slinging in a wildwest-ish style :p. The Recluce Series is a fantasy world inwhich everyone is human, no other sorts of races. Its based off of certain main characters, empowered by the natural balance of the world between Order and Chaos... There are no bad-guys or Good-guys, though you have white vs Black, Chaos vs Order... Black being Order, white being chaos... its extremely in-depth, and throughout the series you find that neither side is wrong nor right. Title: Re: Books Post by: Lammalord on August 23, 2007, 07:15:28 PM well i meant book names lol not a review so i can add them in :)
