I finally read this beast, and it was fan-fucking-tastic. I can't wait for the second half.

The more BoG, the better, in my opinion. And the second half should have some hot BoG action.

Finally.

But seriously, the ogrilloi MMO thing really threw me for a loop.

Yeah I did not expect that at all.

Isn't it zombie Ogrilloi MMO? So banned in China?

Zombies are cool as long as you can't see their bones, I think.

Oh I guess I'm not sure if you can see them for these guys. He indicated that the cut in half ones couldn't do much as zombies so maybe the bone-exposed ones can't either.

Would be best if this were kept out of China. If there are ogrilloi gold farmers in the next book I shall be writing a strongly worded blog comment for Stover.

He'll ignore it like the last one I left, but I will feel vindicated nonetheless.

Oh I just read his blog since you mentioned it and he is EXTREMELY bitter. I didn't realize his books didn't sell...that's bad.

Have you read this Lynch and Abercrombie stuff people are raving about in the comments?

If Lynch is Scott Lynch, yes. I read his first book, "Lies of Locke Lamora" under Matthew Woodring Stover's recommendation. It was good, just not good enough to make me run out and buy the second. I would like to continue reading the series some day.

I have no idea who Abercrombie is.

Edit: I assume this was from the recommendations post at the bottom of the blog... saw Jim Butcher mentioned in there. Have you tried the Dresden Files?

No, is that good or bad?

Also, man up to libraries.
