Though it drives me crazy when authors have particular words that they repeat over and over again, so that would annoy me.

I read quite a bit of urban fantasy but as yet haven't read any written by male authors or with a male protag as lead (with the exception of Harry Dresden bk1).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838008635965872830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-739149188723741412010-01-20T13:19:53.929-07:002010-01-20T13:19:53.929-07:00Hive Mind reviews rule!

It will hopefully be around as long as the website, we are just deciding what form it will take.

It makes it alot easier to get a book for a younger (or older) reader if you haven't read the book yourselves.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Is the University of Fantasy going to continue?

They are two very different styles, both good, of the genre. If I were you, I'd go ahead and finish Dresden and Castor, solely for the reason you have already started them, and then come to LIGHTBREAKER.<br /><br />Content ratings will be back from now on. We were just experimenting with this format to see the reaction.-Slamel-https://www.blogger.com/profile/00787490247900515547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-14898179753705379572010-01-19T12:25:30.606-07:002010-01-19T12:25:30.606-07:00Please continue to include content information (la...Please continue to include content information (language, violence, etc) in your reviews.

Those two series have some parallels. As Nick said in his review, Lightbreaker doesn't follow the same conventions as Dresden or Castor. The writing style is radically different.<br /><br />I'd say it's really up to you. It may serve as a change of pace for you.<br /><br />And for the record, I don't accept werewolves like Nick tried to slip by. I don't find them interesting other than the classic horror Wolfman. But yeah, I'm accepting of Vampires--as long as they are actual monsters.Steve the Bookstore Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237292117795968540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-62812923129310054082010-01-19T11:08:11.811-07:002010-01-19T11:08:11.811-07:00Mhm i only read the first 3 harry dresden books an...Mhm i only read the first 3 harry dresden books and the first felix castor book.what do you propose continue one of those or start this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
