Oh, I'm a big fan of Perez-Reverte, I absolutely loved The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas. What's this one about? Is it good?

This one is about the Inquisition. It still involves Diego Alatriste, and his valet (I guess? not really sure of a better term) Inigo. I thought it was pretty good, but not my personal favorite by Perez-Reverte. Next on my list by him is The Club Dumas. I started watching The Ninth Gate last night with Johnny Depp and I saw in the credits that it was based on the book, so I figured I might as well read it. :P

And I'm going to query if Furies was good, cause I'm obsessed with The Dresden Files :)

Furies is EXCELLENT. The series is very different from Dresden, mainly because they're much more fantasy than scifi. But he carries the same tone and writing style over, so they read just as fast. I think you'd like them! :D

I bought it and read it. You were right it is just as easy (and enthralling) to read, I'll be grabbing the next however many in the series ;)

I'm glad you liked it! Personally I think the series only gets better as it goes on. :D Although the Wax Forest bit is one of my favorite parts overall.
