Dragon Age The Stolen Throne
I ordered the book to read to pass the time waiting for Awakening to come out. Its a really good book I was really suprised. If you have played the game or plan on playing the game I would recomend reading this book and also The Calling. Was a good read. If you enjoyed the game or like dark fantasy this would be a fun addition to your list of books to read. Would recomend to anyone looking for some good weekend fun.

Temeraire 2 - The Throne of Jade
This is the second volume of the Temeraire series.
If you haven’t read the first, you may say yet another “cute dragon” book
However, the combination of military history, sympathetic characters, and engaging style makes this series great, intelligent fun. Stephen King describes it as a cross between Susanna Clarke and Patrick O'Brian, and he's spot on—after charting the Napoleonic Wars, with a difference- dragons as Air Corps, an epic journey to Imperial China follows...
In ancient history, Darius I stands alone as an administrator with unparalleled insight into the workings of an empire. Under his leadership, the Persian Empire grew to be the largest and most powerful diplomatic and economic force in the world. At the time of his death in 486 BCE, he had transformed the entire Middle East into a dominion of progressive government. In Darius the Great read the story of his surprising ascendance to the throne, his clever diplomacy, and the military blunders that marked his ultimate place not as a conqueror, but as a governor of the people.
