nope not all series, have continued stories. That is also why I wanted to read the rest over time, to get how it fits in the overall story of the series.

Oh yeah absolutely enjoyed that book, and wished I read more of the Asia saga by James Clavell to know how it fits in that even bigger story. Cause I really enjoyed the sort of chess game that was the plot (and reminded me of the best Epic fantasies in that way)

And no I did not know there was another adaptation of this story coming our way. Did see the previous miniseries from Paramount on blue-ray. With John Rhys-Davies (the actor who played Gimli in LOTR) as Rodrigues as an absolute highlight.

I try to limit my book buying already for a few years, by wanting to read a book at least three times before I buy it. (doesn't always work, but at least it keeps me from impulse buying every book that sounds vaguely interesting.) Also I reread and lent from the library. so I do not always read new books exclusively. And once I read a book I wonder if I see myself rereading it, if yes it can stay, if no it can find a new home by secondhand bookstore or free little library.

Why do I suspect something quite similar lead to my father saying in these circumstances to write down (or just the topic) what I wanted to say.

Before seeing this community I didn't know Goblins could be nature loving and so friendly. I guess I read to many Tolkienlike fantasy, where they are put on the side of the bad guys wishing to destroy or enslave humans.

Love this whole new side of them, and it feels almost as another race. (just like those flying little elfs have nothing in common with those more Tolkienlike ones)

I really love to learn more about this, can you people point me in some directions to find more of them?
