Well, they're excellent anyway, but Brandon's made a name for himself by developing amazing magic systems.MKHutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715686902529938959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-14570864689465379242011-05-22T22:29:32.211-06:002011-05-22T22:29:32.211-06:00I love a good fantasy series...and I'm half-as...I love a good fantasy series...and I'm half-ashamed to admit that I've never read these books! Don't worry--it will be remedied. Soon! <br /><br />I'm especially fascinated by the magic you talk about, Megan. I recently finished Patrick Rothfuss's second book in The Kingkiller Chronicles (THE WISE MAN'S FEAR), and it has this "believable" kind of magic--a kind that seems almost scientifically believable. SO COOL.<br /><br />Anyhow, MISTBORN and the other books in this series sound amazing. I'm adding them to my To Read list (and requesting them from my library!) right now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
