I read that series. I really liked it. It's gritty and has a pretty good story. However, the end is a bit weak.

That's why you should move on to Steven Erikson!

Already done so! I think Bonehunters is next on my list, debating whether to wait for it to come out in a smaller paperback format.

I think that The Lone Drow, which I just finished today was one of the best he has ever done, besides the incomparable Dark Elf Trilogy....Awesome, they should make a freaking Trilogy movie out of his stories...

I doubt a mere trilogy would do them justice.

Thanks. I'll look forward to that.

I agree, it would have to be a series

Ahh, good. So you really don't even need GRRM anymore.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to find time to start Reaper's Gale.

Just finished Phillip Pullman's The Subtle Knife and thought that, if anything, it was better than The Golden Compass.
(However, I was a bit crushed at the end when two major and likeable characters get vaped. Argh....)


I'll be starting The Amber Spyglass in a few minutes.

I just finished Steven King's "Lisey's Story", and am currently plowing through Dean Koontz's "Brother Odd"

I know, I'm a fan of watered down suspense novels. Shoot me.
