The Gathering Storm moves swiftly into the top spot, with R.A. Salvatore’s The Demon Awakens following closely behind. A new entry this week, Paradox I by Rosemary Laurey, rounds out the top three. A Touch of Dead and Full Moon Rising hang on in the four and five spots.

by Keri ArthurDavid Anthony Durham is making the rounds this week, interviewing on both The Dragon Page and If You’re Just Joining Us. S.L. Farrell’s most recent book, A Magic of Nightfall got a stellar review over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist. Scott Westerfield’s Leviathan got a decent amount of publicity this week, and Tor takes 30% off all their books for the rest of the month.
Rounding out the fantasy blogosphere this week is a hilarious article on generic stuff in fantasy novels, and GRRM lets us know that by the time he finishes book five of A Song of Ice and Fire, we’re probably all going to have nanobots swimming around in our bloodstream (read: its gonna be a while).
And, as always…
R.A. Salvatore’s The Demon Awakens holds strong in the number one slot for the second week straight, while the new Wheel of Time book, The Gathering Storm, co-authored by Brandon Sanderson premiers at number three, while the release date of the book is still more than two weeks away.

by Diana GabaldonPlenty of quality reviews this week, including reviews of both books in Karen Miller’s Kingmaker, Kingbreaker series. I like to follow up my own reviews with reviews by others if possible, in order to give everyone a fair sampling of opinion. In addition to a few great reviews, of course we’ve got episode 5 of The Guild, which has to be my favorite so far in season 3. Pong? Frickin’ hilarious.
The Demon Awakens, a new R.A. Salvatore book independent of Wizards of the Coast and the Forgotten Realms saga premiers in the number one slot this week. The Time Traveler’s Wife gets knocked off, ending its twelve week reign in the top five. A Touch of Dead and Full Moon Rising move up a few spots, while An Echo in the Bone and According to Jane drop a few.

by Marilyn BrantThe fantasy blogosphere is buzzing this week, with quality review after review, including books by Ken Scholes, Brandon Sanderson, Lev Grossman and more. This should give you plenty to do while you’re parked in front of the TV watching race for October baseball or week three NFL action.
And last but not least, I think its safe to call me a “Guildy” at this point.
According to Jane makes its debut at number one, while Full Moon Rising slides to number four after two weeks at the top. The Time Traveler’s Wife finds itself in the top five for the tenth straight week.

by Audrey NiffeneggerWow, the DragonCon hangover must have been a ripe one. The fantasy blogosphere has been fairly calm this past week, with only two reviews and some commentary worth noting:
I’m about to start Mistborn, so I’m saving the above review for after I finished. Its supposedly fantastic.
Luckily, in this lull, we’ve got three new webisodes of The Guild to pass the time. Yee-haw!
Full Moon Rising holds strong in the number one slot, while An Echo in the Bone, the seventh entry in the Outlander series, makes an entrance at the number two slot. The Time Traveler’s Wife gets bumped out of the number two slot all the way down to number five.

by Charlaine Harris by Charlaine Harris by Audrey NiffeneggerWe’ve got boatloads of fun this week, from reviews of books by Brandon Sanderson, Daniel Abraham, and Mercedes Lackey, to a chat with David Anthony Durham. Tack on the top 25 Babes of DragonCon and a revolution in online gaming, and you’re going to be a busy bee this week.
So Warcraft and Warhammer just found themselves some serious new competition. Dungeons & Dragons Online is now free:
