Yeh, so that book I mentioned above, Shadow of the Giant is out... I got it a few days ago and finished reading it in about a day... but to be honest with you, I didn't like it much. Well, at least compared with some of the earlier books. But then again I know people that read it and said it is the best book out of the whole series... so I guess it is just an opinion thing.
One thing is though, I thought this was supposed to be the finale. The conclusion. But apparently, a rather large chunk of info was brought up and never resolved, assumedly to allow for a book to follow.
