Finished *Palladin of Souls* which feels like it is the first book in a series: there was a definite sense the characters would go on to do more things at the story's end... but then again, the story felt like it was the second or third boook in a series because of the strong historical sense of previous events.
The author uses language well, and I'm thinking I want to go back and re-read the book for the prose's structure. She's able to use compound constructions that read smoothly, which I appreciate as someone who is accused of over-using semicolons. She also managed to write some fairly racy scenes while edging to, but not over, the line of explicit, graphic sex. (Note to self, explore animal imagry metaphor and men's physicallity).
Went to the gym Saturday. 35 minutes and 310 cal on the Nordic Elliptical. 13x(30+50+60)lbs+8x70lbs on the pec fly. 13x(30+40+50)lbs+8x60lbs on the deltoid fly. 13x(60+80+80)lbs+8x90lbs on the lat pull down. 13 Roman Chair curl-ups. 3x13x35lbs barbell curls 13x(30+40+40)lbs +8x50lbs on the tricepcs pulldown. 2x8x7.5lbs front and side pull-ups.
The weekend was a fairly laid-back one. All I wanted to do was lay back and read or work on design. Or research.
