Man.. I have done a few books and are waiting for the sequel
Some of the REALLY notable ones are The name of the wind - Epic stuff! Damn good read. The way of kings - Very good stuff. 10 book series and now its only on number one! The painted man book 1; The desert spear book 2; - very nice darkish magic and mayhem stuff. This post has been edited by reveur: Jan 11 2011, 06:01 PM |

Just finished Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself. Before starting on the sequel (Before They Are Hanged) I'm taking a detour into China Mieville's Kraken.
@reveur Have got all the titles you mentioned queued up in my "To-Read" list for later this year..  Has anyone tried Wolfsangel and/or The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms? |

Hi requiem73. never tried Wolfsangel (never heard of it) but finished Hundred Thousand Kingdoms earlier last year & just ordered the follow-up Broken Kingdoms. It's certainly verrry good non-traditional fantasy - no farm boys growing up to fulfil ancient prophesies of overthrowing a wicked overlord here....
How's the Blade itself? Is it a completed series? Heard some good feedback on it & don't mind giving it a shot if all the books have been written & are available. |

@snowcrash
Anything non-traditional is a plus for me, so will look forward to Kingdoms As for Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy, all 3 parts should be readily available [The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, Last Argument Of Kings]. I haven't finished the 3rd book yet but I'd consider the trilogy as a whole (so far) to be well above average though not quite deserving of the accolades it has garnered. If you're feeling adventurous, just try out the first book and if you like the style, pick up the rest. This post has been edited by requiem73: Jan 18 2011, 06:44 AM |

Reading Stephen King's Full Dark, No Stars at the moment. Haven't read his books for a long time, but '1922' gives me the creeps. Haven't started the other 3 novellas yet.

Having a craze for science fictions lately. After hours of watching Star wars: clone wars animations in cartoon network, best to beat my curiosity to fill in the gap between the major motion pictures of Episode 1,2,3.
Currently reading the Republic Commandos Series; Book 2 Triple Zero. 367 days after the War on Geneosis. |

am now reading House of Night Book 2; but it seems like the story gets more complicated for the time being (and will get more and more complicated in further books!) i guess it's time for me to switch back to Sophie Kinsella books
 might try Cecelia Ahern's books too! well at least the stories are lighter and less complicated |
