My Teaser

Foundation: Book One of the Collegium Chronicles by Mercedes Lackey

“Life isn’t fair” is nothing but an excuse people make to justify bad things they do. But why shouldn’t life be fair? What’s keeping it from being fair? Those same cruel, mean, and evil people. I think you understand that, Mags—maybe not in your head, but in your heart, which is more important. And the more people there are who try to make life fair, the more likely it is that it will become fair. Don’t you want that?

I haven’t read any science fiction or fantasy in a very long time, with the exception of The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon (my short review here). It feels very weird to be reading a book called Foundation that is by someone other than Isaac Asimov, but once I got past that, I was immediately drawn into the story.

What are you reading right now?
