Well...it's something I suppose

Another incredibly unproductive weekend. I managed to unclog my drains somewhat, cook soup, and finish my feedbackathon and that's pretty much it. All saturday spent playing a little bit of Fable (I really don't care for it much, oh well) and then speedreading the third book of Robin Hobbes's Assassin trilogy. Not as good as the first two but then they rarely are. Still need to do dishes, laundry, and general cleaning. Wavering on whether to go to work tomorrow or not truly. I probably will. Am telling myself I'll do laundry tomorrow morning first though (and I'll regret not having it done this weekend since I won't have my facemask. May really go buy another).

I felt really gypped by the third book in the Assassin trilogy; I don't feel there were very many rewards for the reader.

Very true. I was able to enjoy about half of it until I felt like yelling at Fitz. It's very a frustrating when an author refuses to allow a character grow/learn or when a character is forced to be dumb for the sake of the story. Plus I felt like Regal was just way too villianized in it. He ended up being much more a cariciture rather than character while Verys became saintly martyr. *shrugs* It was an enjoyable idea through the first two. Just poor something in the third.

*crosses fingers* Hopefully George RR Martin won't fall into the same trap when we finally get to see the next book!?!

I honestly don't know what I'm hoping for from Martin's new one. Those books really freak me out, but I can't stop reading them. Every single character (except maybe Sansa) has done at least one horribly atrocious thing; I'm kind of at a loss over who to root for.
