I finnished "Men at Arms" on the Nook. I have to say, the first Discworld books are... ok. Not great but decent. By this time in the series Mr. Pratchet has hit his stride and is putting out really good books.
I also finished up "God's War". Since it was a free book a while back I'm curious as to what others thought about it. For me, it was a strange book. I finished it, and I'd try something else by the author, but I'd have a hard time recommending the book to someone else.
I think the book might have been better off as a straight fantasy. The 'tech' in there just didn't work well I thought in a sci-fi setting. Of the two abilities given in the book one was poorly explained (pheromones? At range and upwind?) and the other (shifting) not explained at all. And the first 100 or so pages were very hard to get though. Lots of names of people, countries, places (no map) thrown at you. You're also trying to figure out the culture references and what/how the tech/magic is and how it works. I almost gave up but it gets better after the initial flood.
But still, an ok read.
I've started:
2nd book in a series and it starts off well.
On the Nook I've restarted:
The 3rd book in the Culture 'series'. I put series in quotes because it's not really a series but a collection of books that takes place in the same setting. Very far future and high tech.
