I have read a fair bit of military science fiction books, but this was my first military fantasy book. In short, I thought it was awesome!
The book is about Oscar Britton, a soldier. He wakes up one day with magical powers. As his luck would have it, his powers are of a prohibited school. The book tells the story of how Oscar comes to terms with his new found powers and how the government has chosen to deal with and regulate magic users. Oscar has several difficult choices to make. Does he trust the military he's used to? Does he follow orders blindly?
I've just bought the next two books in this trilogy and they're already on my Kindle.
Did I mention there are goblins. Lots of goblins.

Holy Calamity, this was a good book! Supervillains vs. ordinary folks. It was epic. Pure and simple. Brandon Sanderson is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

The Fitz is back and, as usual, in some sort of trouble. I love Robin Hobb's use of the English language, as well as her character development and world building. I'll be jumping straight into the third book in this trilogy. And then probably the next trilogy... and the next. Yes, I'm hooked.

Second Nexus book finished! Will there be a third? I do enjoy these techno-thrillers, but the writing is a bit stale. That said, I'll continue to read these! Ramez can only get better. :)

Awesomely geeky book! I had a great time reading this and I recommend it to anyone who grew up during the 80's. Most of my childhood favourite movies were mentioned, and I had to watch Wargames and Ladyhawke again recently. Don't wait. Read this book. :)
