Path of Daggers – Robert Jordan

ThePathOfDaggersAnother exciting instalment in the series! One thing that is a little tedious is the dichotomy between the sexes. It is all well and good and helps define the fantasy universe, but you’d think it was relaxed a little between good friends, lovers, husband and wives, etc….

Maybe also time to have a brief pause before consuming book 9 of the series – time for something different I think.

Metatropolis: The Dawn of Uncivilization

metatropolis An interesting anthology featuring short fiction by Scalzi, Elizabeth Bear, Tobias Buckell, Jay Lake, and Karl Schroeder. The authors have collectively created a shared future world. Good read, although the first story took a couple of tries spread out over the year.

Kvindernes krig – Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzsky

kvindernes krigSuper god bog der giver et indblik i, hvad de danske tropper også laver i Afghanistan, og hvad det betyder for lokalbefolkningen. Rart at høre noget fra en anden vinkel end mediernes rapportering om døde og sårede.

Man følger en dansk kvindelig soldat, AC, der er udsendt for CIMIC, og hendes møde med de afghanske kvinder.

Helt klart anbefalelsesværdig!

The Fires of Heaven – Robert Jordan

The Fires of HeavenTrouble among the Aiel forces Rand across the Spine of the World and involuntary conquest begins. The Forsaken become more active, Rand harness the One Power with the help of male channeler, and and and the list goes on. Best book in the series so far! I think I will wait a little before starting the next one, just to have a spell from the Wheel of Time.

Den store omstilling – Jørgen Steen Nielsen

Den store omstillingInteressant bog om hvad der sker, hvis vi bare fortsætter med at bruge resurser, som vi gør det i dag. Hvilke kriser giver det, og er der håb forude? Hvis vi skal nå at rette op på noget af det, kræver det en stor omstilling, men det kan lade sig gøre!

Tak til DR for at gøre bogen gratis tilgængelig.
