The Forgotten Beasts of Eld
Still at the beginning of this, but its fun so far; written in extreme High Fantasy style, with a formal, mythic kind of pacing that feels like the appropriate tone for something that involves wizards and dragons and mythical beasts in the first few pages.

OK, after actually finishing this book: one must really need to tune out the cynic to appreciate it, but I then it's pretty amazing. High mythic fantasy, with its one internal fairy tale logic that probably obit works within its 200 pages. It’s got the self importance of Tolkien and I think it works!

Soon is such a long word.

I thought of you with your hair silver as snow all through that cold, slow journey from Sirle. I felt you troubled deep within me, and there was no other place in the world I would rather have been than in the cold night riding to you. When you opened your gates to me, I was home.
