Book #14 -- T. A. Barron, The Mirror of Merlin, 245 pages.

Another wonderful book in the Lost Years of Merlin series. Only one left. I'm going to be very sad when I've finished them all. That's ok though, I guess, since the author has several other books for me to read.

Book #15 -- Chris Wooding, Storm Thief, 310 pages.

This was an incredible book. Set the island city of Orokos in a post-apocalyptic world in which chaos storms rewrite matter every time they pass through, it follows the adventures of two thieves of the undesirable ghetto class who have stumbled upon an ancient artifact desperately coveted by both sides of the law. The book reminded me somewhat of The City of Ember, but much darker. Definitely recommended.
