    5, of course. One of my three absolute favorites, bested only by Wolves.

    All I seem to remember about Wolves was hay... And Harry Potter. That said, Callahan's story was brilliant.

    This one had great action but seemed to lag a bit in the middle, so a four here.

    5 - this one is tied with TDT, DotT, and Wolves. I have a really hard time picking favorites in this series. As a matter of fact, the only one I really didn't like was Song of Susannah....

    If it's any consolation bears, I really enjoyed SoS...the 2nd time I read it. First time, it was just too slow for me - honestly, I was far more eager to just start the big finale already. Funny how a 2nd read can change things, though.

    As for Waste Lands: predictable, but an easy 5 from me.

    To give this novel anything less than a strong, triumphant 5 would be a travesty.

    See, I've read it 3 times (with a 4th time bound to happen very soon) and it's not that I hate it. It's just my least favorite in the series...I can discuss is more when that one's up for voting, of course

    The poll has closed. The Waste Lands has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.750000000 or 95.00%, placing 1st (winner) in this bracket. It will be moving on to Round 2.
