Poll: Which of these would YOU like to win the LEGEND AWARD for 2012?
There can be only one!! So Patrick Rothfuss it is… he created the most delightful read and is such a captivating storyteller… Indeed, Wise man’s Fear is gripping. The characters will haunt you till the next book arrives. But as the headline says, it’s a poll. So feel free to poll away. The other books on this shortlist are:
Blackveil by Kristen Britain
The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson
Blood of Aenarion by William King
The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie 
Holy shit

My latest review
The Day of the Lie by William Brodrick
‘As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, a Stasi officer makes her a devil’s bargain – and in the dark of a government prison, a terrible choice is made.” This little blurb should taunt anyone who loves to read a suspense novel. It shouldn’t be a surprise I couldn’t wait to read The Day of the Lie by William Brodrick. I was not familiar with that particular part of Europe’s post war history and definitely wanted to read more about it. The setting for this thriller therefore was perfect to heighten my curiosity.
Even though I was eager to read the book, it left me a bit disappointed. At first I simply couldn’t explain what caused my disappointment. What part of this novel left me unsatisfied. It’s not the story in itself. I was interested. I learned a lot about those days after WWII in Poland. The struggle of the people to get on with their lives in a corrupted and suspicious society. People couldn’t trust anyone, not even their loved ones. Never knowing who is watching your actions or listening in to your conversations makes life harsh. Dark, grim times indeed.
And then it hit me. Although the setting of the book is completely new to me, interestingly so, the problem is the main characters. They just didn’t call out to me. If Anselm is the genius described on the back of the book than why didn’t I see his talent? He just stumbles along, out of obligation to an old and dear friend in need. But never is there more to it. As a person I couldn’t relate to him. Roza, as much as she went through and had to give up during her hard life, is the main character in this book. Sure, I was curious how it would end. But nothing came as a surprise. Not really. So there it is…. Don’t get me wrong now, it definitely was a fun read. It wasn’t boring and I am glad I got to learn more about that particular history of Europe. It just didn’t give me what I expected from it.
