Ha ha. Well, I looked at the title and clicked on a link under it. I had no idea what it was going to show me.
Another thing I often with Amazon is visit the Author’s Page and select the Kindle column. That lets me see everything under Kindle attributed to the author.
I wish I had gotten around to trying the first one, which I have, to get a feel for whether I will enjoy the series. I guess since I only own the first one I might as well wait until the earlier ones go on sale before i get any others.
I loved the first, liked the second, but the third lost me. I keep meaning to go back and retry, but I’ve heard some very mixed things about the evolution of the series, so I definitely plan to take it one book at a time.
Emperor’s Soul was a nice little read; a short novella but still very Sanderson-y, so if you like his other stuff this one is good too, and a little different.
This is not a comment on the Sanderson novella, which I have not read, but it’s always worth remembering that the Hugos are and have ever been a popularity contest at a particular (very large) con. Frequently they vote to give that award to really great works, but any popularity contest has its hits and misses. YMMV
Back in the days when Waldenbooks at the mall was the only place I could find science fiction books (in the 90s, in college), list of Hugo winners served me well. Though the list of Nebula winners was more hit and miss, but it also lead to some more difficult reads than the Hugo that ended up being more memorable. But at least back then, it was a very good way to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I suppose that now we have the internet, and I can get in touch with other people who read science fiction, I don’t need to rely as much on the Hugos to direct me to the good stuff.
Not exactly a sale, but all 10 Amber books for less than $10 (these weren’t issued as eBooks for a long time due to issues with Zelazny’s Estate, AFAIK):
Thanks, what a great deal. I was just thinking about giving these a go again. I started the first one a year or two ago and enjoyed it but something pulled me away and it must have been a library checkout or something and I didn’t get to finish. Time to remedy that.
I also saw a LOTR collection for $4.99. I don’t have ebook versions so I grabbed it.
