I have read all of Gemmells books.
GRRM - Only read the songs of Ice and Fire series and am awaiting more form him, but he seems to bumble about on other stuff.
As for Card - Enders Game was awesome and I liked Enders Shadow, but anything after that does not seem that interesting to me.
Salvatores Icewind Dale and Dark Elf Trilogy were great, but any after those I got bored with.
Eddings turned to crap when he started writing with his wife.....my opinion.
I have read most of Terry Brooks and don't mind most of his stuff. I am still in the middle of Armaggedons Children.
And I just can't get into Robert Jordan books.
Any other suggestons would be great |
I would recommend Tim Powers he doesnt write the same type fantasy as Gemmell but he has great characters,humor,stories.
The Drawing of The Dark i would recommend.
I recommend too
