My favourite part so far is:

Spoiler:
If there's one thing all diviners share, it's curiosity. We really can't help it; it's just part of who we are. (here is the best part) If you dug a tunnel somewhere in the wilderness a thousand miles from anywhere and hung a sign on it saying, Warning, this leads to the Temple of Horrendous Doom. Do not enter, ever. No, not even then, you'd get back from lunch to find a diviner already inside and two more about to go in.


I can picture this so clearly in my mind. I love it when an author can do that.
That's a good one all right. And yes, he's certainly a very skilled writer.

And ... "Taken" ... as far as I am with it.

Best regards,

Yeah, Taken's the next one for me...then waiting for the new one to be available.

I can't believe they cancelled Dresden Files for that dreck, but then I hardly understand anything Syfy does.

Also, I read the sample of Fated. It was excellent. I'll be picking up the series on payday
I didn't watch that after the first one either!
