Sometimes it's pretty easy to tell I'll dislike pretty much anything in the series, but if there's remote interest I'm pretty forgiving of any perceived flaws. Plus, you can't set everything up in a first book for a series. It's just not going to happen and things get a little shaky. <br /><br /><br />Pretty much though, if it's an action oriented series, I'll probably enjoy it.<br /><br />Also, is it available as an eBook? I think I checked on B&N and it wasn't there... but I could be remembering wrong. >.<JKhttp://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2950816-jknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-14720971681024106232011-08-24T00:08:02.629-04:002011-08-24T00:08:02.629-04:00Bastard ~ Gotcha.

Sometimes I feel like I should spend my time reading stuffy stuff [heh] rather than so much urban fantasy, but then I realize that it doesn't matter. I'm reading for me and what someone else says is a masterpiece may not be for me. I decide what's a literary masterpiece and if happens to be an UF book, so be it.JKhttp://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2950816-jknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-20866757685492575812011-08-23T22:59:05.465-04:002011-08-23T22:59:05.465-04:00Hey Tim,

That's always a happy ending I can get behind. :)<br /><br />Shoot me an email at tim [at] tmarquitz [dot] com and I'll send you copy of Dawn of War.

Like I said I remember Seaks (Bryce)'s review of it and liked the sounds then. <br /><br />But I have to say when I was on Marquitz's site Dawn of War caught my eye too. I am a fantasy lover at heart. :)<br /><br />Great promo.<br /><br />And god, I'm so sorry to hear about your little girl. All the thoughts and wishes are to you all. My Aunt had lukemia 23 years ago, when she gave birth to her daughter. She's been in remission for years now.

It's raw and lacks anything resembling subtlety, and the cover definitely fits, as frightening as that may come across.<br /><br />But despite its obvious flaws, I hope you enjoy the book enough to at least give Resurrection a chance. It gets better. :)Tim Marquitzhttp://www.tmarquitz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-6443439597631599902011-08-22T23:41:48.037-04:002011-08-22T23:41:48.037-04:00Just managing expectations nothing more, and part ...Just managing expectations nothing more, and part of it being Armageddon Bound being his debut, etc.<br /><br />But glad you have it in your TBR pile. I'm going to read Skulls next month or so, to see how his writing has progressed. At the very least in the sequel to Armageddon Bound it improved greatly, particularly on the editing side. So very much curious on what's coming next if I've enjoyed the series as is so far, and I'm not the only one.Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262625208142078301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-5051126559019209402011-08-22T23:08:48.064-04:002011-08-22T23:08:48.064-04:00I've got the first book on my TBR list and I m...I've got the first book on my TBR list and I must say, the cover gives great meaning to "don't judge a book by it's cover." No offense is meant, but it's cheesy. :D <br /><br /><br />Also, why is it something like this can't be a literary masterpiece? Does it have to be stuffy and convoluted? I think not. I think anything can be a literary masterpiece, whether it was written a hundred years ago or whether it was written yesterday and has the grittiest, most down to Earth narrator. If it makes me feel, then it's a masterpiece.JKhttp://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2950816-jknoreply@blogger.com
