I'm almost finished with Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton. I've loved it so far, and keep finding myself reading slower and smaller chunks at a time to make it last longer.  Nonetheless, all good things must come to an end, and this might be our last Tease from this novel...

The Tease:

"Angela had gone only about a hundred meters along the river when she realized someone was following her. She wasn't surprised. The whole Ravi-being-safe-thing was a big stretch. Two options: This was either the monster or the saboteur.
Either way, she was ready to settle this."

I'm a little over halfway through Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and I'm really enjoying it.  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  Eyewitnesses describe the killer as an alien monster - but the expedition sent to the planet of St. Libra can't seem to find any trace of alien life.  Except someone keeps murdering members of the expedition in the humid jungle, and disappearing without a trace...

The Tease:

"Antrinell walked over, the lines on his round face emphasizing his dismay.  "I hate this weather," he grunted.  "I almost wish it would rain again."

I'm reading Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and liking it a lot!  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  In this scene, Angela remembers an event from her first visit to the planet of St. Libra twenty years ago...

The Tease:

"Barclay North was waiting in the big open-plan lounge, with its balcony overlooking the deserted beach.  Angela gave him a coy grin.  "Hi," she said, all husky-voiced."

I'm reading Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and I'm quite enjoying it.  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  In this scene, the prisoner Angela and here escort travel through the gate from Earth to St. Libra to begin their search for the alien she claims is responsible for the murders she was accused of so long ago...

The Tease:

"Angela was already searching the sky.  "There," she said simply.  Paresh followed her gaze.  St. Libra's sky was a clean deep turquoise, and somehow seemed to be a whole lot higher than Earth's.  He barely noticed that.  Slicing right across the northern sky like some kind of magical veil was the planet's phenomenal ring system."

I've finally finished reading Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson (fantastic novel!), and I've switched gears from Fantasy to Sci-Fi, and have moved on to another door stopper - Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton.  At 990 pages, it's not quite as large as Words of Radiance - but it's close!  Today, our Tease is from the opening paragraph of the book.

The Tease:

"As midnight approached, the wild neon colors of the borealis storm came shimmering through the soft snow falling gently across Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.  It was as if nature were partying along with the rest of the city, providing a jade-and-carmine light show far more elegant than any of the fireworks that had been bursting sporadically above the rooftops since Friday."

I am currently reading Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson.  This is a huge novel, and it will probably take me awhile to get through, which means we'll get lots of Teasers out of it!  In this Tease, Shallan watches a Highstorm approaching across the Shattered Plains...

The Tease:

"The stormwall.

A huge sheet of water and debris blown before the storm.  In places, it flashed with light from behind, revealing movement and shadows within.  Like the skeleton of a hand when light illuminated the flesh, there was something inside this wall of destruction."

The Tease:

"In her sitting room - her sitting room - thumps announced the footmen arriving with her trunks.  They left a moment later, closing the door.  for the first time in quite a long while, Shallan found herself not fighting for her survival or worrying about being murdered by one of her traveling companions.

So she fell asleep."

The Tease:

"Shallan gasped at the sudden flare of color.  It disrupted the landscape like breaking lightning in an otherwise clear sky.  Shallan set down her spheres - Tyn was having her practice palming them - and stood up in the wagon, steadying herself with her freehand on the back of her seat.  Yes, it was unmistakable.  Brilliant red and yellow on an otherwise dull canvas of brown and green."

The Tease:

"Sometimes, though, it seemed like his job was impossible to do well.  During the highstorm last week, someone had again sneaked into Dalinar's rooms, scrawling a second number on the wall.  Counting it down, it pointed to the same date a little over a month away."

This week I began reading Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson.  This is a huge novel, and it will probably take me awhile to get through, which means we'll get lots of Teasers out of it!

The Tease:

"Dalinar turned from the window finally, walking to the others, and rested his hand on Navani's shoulder.  "We're going to find a way to do this, or we're going to destroy the kingdom in the process.  I won't suffer this charade any longer."

One of my reading goals for 2014 is to reread some of my favorite books, and I'm beginning with one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. For a good number of years, Prince Rohan - in spite of, or maybe because of, his flaws - was the perfect man in my eyes and definitely my first Book Crush.

This week, Rohan finds himself in a difficult situation...

The Tease:

"Night again, hot and close.  The sixth night since Ianthe.  Rohan turned away from the dinner laid out for him.  Food, wine, even water were suspect.  He trusted neither his tongue nor his nose, for everything tasted and smelled of dranath to him. He was over the worst of it, having eaten in the last few days only those things he considered least dangerous - unsliced fruit from which he peeled the skin, dragon tail cactus root washed clean of its sauces, a few other things.  His stomach growled at times with emptiness, but he had no other way of ensuring that he ingested no more of the drug.  He found it ironic that the dranath that had saved his dragons was so great a danger to him.."

One of my reading goals for 2014 is to reread some of my favorite books, and I'm beginning with one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. Many people don't care for it, but I don't even understand those people.  I love this story, and while it might not be perfect, it's pretty darn close in my mind.  For a good number of years, Prince Rohan - in spite of, or maybe because of, his flaws - was the perfect man in my eyes and definitely my first Book Crush.

This week we see Rohan through his sister's eyes for a brief moment at the funeral of their father...

The Tease:

"Rohan stood apart and alone, holding a torch in his hand.  The flame turned his hair to molten gold and sank his eyes into darkness.  He was a stranger tonight.  For almost the first time, Tobin could see their father in him; the Desert had claimed him for its prince."

I've decided that in 2013, I'm going to spend some of my time rereading a few of my old favorites, and so last week I started one of my favorite fantasy novels.  Many people don't care for it, feeling that it is poorly written, plotted, and that the characters and themes are unoriginal.  I don't understand those people.  I love this story, and I love the characters, and while it might not be perfect, it's pretty darn close in my mind.  For a good number of years, Prince Rohan - in spite of, or maybe because of, his flaws - was the perfect man in my eyes and definitely my first Book Crush.

Last week I took our Tease from Chapter 1, where we were introduced to Prince Zehava, the grand Patriarch of the desert.  This week, let's meet Sioned, a young Sunrunner destined to marry Zehava's son Rohan.

The Tease:

"When Sioned was three years old, the death of her parents left her brother Davvi, her elder by twelve winters, Lord of River Run.  Within a few years he married...but the new Lady of River Run was the possessive sort...Thus she purchased Sioned's entry into Goddess Keep. 

There she found companionship among the other students and knowledge enough to feed her ravenous appetite for learning.  The small oddities that her sister-by-marriage derided as "fey" turned out to be indications that she had the faradhi gift and could become a Sunrunner. 

Not everyone who west to Goddess Keep became faradhi, and Lady Andrade did not tolerate arrogance among those who could, or envy among those who could not.  But there were certain distinctions involved in becoming a Sunrunner: the rings of earned rank and periodic visits to the grove of pines near the keep. 
In the year 693, when Sioned was sixteen and had earned the first silver circle on her right middle finger, she went to this place where, if her talents were strong and the Goddess was disposed to revelations, she might glimpse her future."

I've decided that in 2013, I'm going to spend some of my time rereading a few of my old favorites; books that I love so much that I just have to pull them out and reread them every few years.  They're comfy and familiar, like a pair of soft, warm slippers, and each time I read them they evoke that feeling, that sense of nostalgia, that makes me feel I'm reading them for the first time.

This week I've started one of my favorite fantasy novels.  Many people don't care for it, feeling that it is poorly written, plotted, and that the characters and themes are unoriginal.  I don't understand those people.  At all.  I love this story, I love the characters, and while it might not be perfect, it's pretty darn close in my mind.  For a good number of years, Prince Rohan - in spite of, or maybe because of, his flaws - was the perfect man in my eyes and definitely my first Book Crush.

So let's kick this off with a tease from the very first page of the book, shall we?  I'm not even going to apologize for breaking the two sentence rule.

The Tease:

"Prince Zehava squinted into the sunlight and smiled his satisfaction.  All the signs were good for the hunt today: claw marks on the cliffs, wing marks on the sand, and the close cropping of bittersweet plants along the canyon ridges.  But the prince's perceptions were more subtle and had no need of these obvious signs.  He could feel the presence of his prey all along his skin, scent it in the air, sense it in every nerve.  His admirers said he could tell when the time was ripe for the hunt simply by glancing at the sky.  His enemies said it was not surprising that he could sense such things, for he himself had been dragon-spawned."

I'm currently reading Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead.  Unlike many of her other novels this is adult oriented, and so far it is really very good. 

The Tease:

"Shooting an erratically moving target had been difficult.  A slow-moving one, even with a small space to hit, wasn't difficult at all for someone like Mae.  In the space of a heartbeat she raised the gun and shot the woman in the head."

Wow!  I can't believe that I almost forgot Teaser Tuesday AGAIN!  But, it is still Tuesday, and better late than never, right?!

Over the holidays I read the first two books in the Sky Chasers series, Glow, and Spark, by Amy Kathleen Ryan.  I really enjoyed them, and am looking forward to reading the third in the series, Flame.

Last week a friend loaned me a book that I've started and am really liking a lot - Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead.  Unlike many of her other novels this is adult oriented, and so far it is really very good.  In this scene, Justin March - who has just been retrieved from exile in Panama - is easing back into his old job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims.  He's been recalled to solve a string of murders with ceremonial and ritualistic elements that no one else has been able to solve.  And the killer - or killers - will certainly strike again soon...

The Tease:

"His first task for SCI actually wasn't a visit to the murder sites or even the religious groups he'd tagged as possible culprits.  He'd meant what he said to Cornelia: He had someone he was certain could crack the video.  If it really was faked."

I started reading World War Z last week, and so far it's OK.  I'm not 100% sure that I'm down with the format, or style of the writing, but so far it's pretty good. 

The Tease:

"I looked up, through the car's window, the hole in the dead man's skull, and the window on the other side, and that's when I saw the first one.  I spun around and saw five more coming at me from all directions.  And behind them were another ten, fifteen.
I took a shot at the first one, the round went wild."

I've just started World War Z this weekend.  I've been wanting to read it for awhile, then kind of forgot about it, then my interest was renewed when the movie came out earlier this year, then I forgot about it again until this weekend when I found it on sale!  So far it seems to be pretty good, though I've just barely started.

The Tease:

"The driver's eyes had a different look, the same one as me, the look that maybe money wasn't going to be much good for much longer.  I slipped the man an extra fifty and wished him luck.  That was all I could do."

After finishing Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, I decided that I had better try to get Catching Fire read before I see the movie.  I think almost everyone in the world has already read this years ago, so many of you will recognize this Tease, I'm sure!

The Tease:

"I've spent all these weeks getting to know who my competitors are, without even thinking about who my teammates are.  Now a new kind of confidence is lighting up inside of me, because I think I finally know who Haymitch is.  And I'm beginning to know who I am.  And surely, two people who have caused the Capitol so much trouble can think of a way to get Peeta home alive."

This week I'm continuing to read Steelheart, by Brandon Sanderson.  It's a very good story and I'm quite enjoying it! In this scene, David comes face to face with Steelheart for the second time in his life.

The Tease:

"He'd changed little in the decade since he destroyed the bank.  He had that same arrogant expression, that same perfectly styled hair.  That inhumanly toned and muscled body, shrouded in a black and silver cape.  His fists glowed a soft yellow, wisps of smoke rising from them, and there was a hint of silver in his hair.  Epics aged far more slowly than regular people, but they did age."
