The Way of Kings

Wow!  What a great series!  I really enjoyed the world building and high fantasy.  I cannot wait to read the next one.  5/5 stars.

Grigorii Efimovich Rasputin: Almost the Truth

It is unusual to find anything written about Rasputin that tries to get past all of the gossip and hype.  And because of the politically charged time of the fall of Tzarism, rise of Communism, and tumult in the region, everything written is suspect.  None-the-less, the BBC has tried to present facts and both sides of the historical event, painting Rasputin as a victim of larger forces while unapologetically describing his evil.  I knew very little about the events surrounding his life and times and enjoyed this short audio play.

4/5 stars
