Fun connection

Early this afternoon, I finished Irish Mist, but was too stuck in that world to move on to the next book in my stack: Terry Goodkind's new book The Law of Nines.

In Irish Mist, I enjoyed the story well - I wanted to know what happened, and what would happen. I loved the reference to another favorite character of mine, from a different series; Brother Cadfael is great fun. I also enjoyed all the songs that Nuala sang throughout the book, but especially those she sang with the monks - I know them and/or have them on CD - even if the English translations of the Latin didn't always match the one I knew. I also enjoyed Fr. Greeley's comment about what inspired the CD Nuala had just released in the book - it was a CD I'd given Erin (my sister) for Christmas a few years ago (Faith of Our Fathers). Even though I have a lot of books I own that I should read, I am quite tempted to get the next book in the Nuala Anne McGrail series. We'll see how well I resist temptation at work tomorrow.

From the other books I've read by Terry Goodkind, as well as the first paragraph of The Law of Nines, I think I will enjoy the book, but it's possibly too early to tell for sure. I do like the picture of him on the back of the book - he's got this great half-smirking smile going. :)
