| Re: Is this author the author for me? Exactly my thoughts Rahl, except I'd also put Bakker's Prince of Nothing series on the same level. I think it being a harder read also makes it a more interesting read overall, once you've read the first two or more books and the world is properly fleshed out by then, but I never really feel that with Martin, and most of what you know about the world comes from either history (ie Britain in the wars of the roses) or from brief descriptions. |

| Re: Is this author the author for me? Personally, I'm sick of the constant comparisons between Erikson and Martin. They are both truly excellent writers, but neither have remotely similar styles, or write about the same kind of things. Impossible to truly compare... |

| Re: Is this author the author for me? Yeah, sorry, was a bit ratty, I wasn't trying to get at you specifically. Too many people I talk to online can't seem to talk about Erikson without bringing Martin into it somehow  You make a good point though, yes |

| Re: Is this author the author for me? Just to annoy you a little bit more Cal, I prefer Erikson to Martin and no you cant really compare them, their styles are completely different.I do like ASOIF but find The Malazan a more riveting read. |

| Re: Is this author the author for me? Gollum, have to say you've called this one right. GOTM was good better than average, DHG was brilliant I didn't think he could have me made me cry again after Duiker & Coltaine's fate, but MOI was magnificent I read the last few chapters through a mist of tears. I have experienced just about every emotion imaginable. He'll never replace Feist in my affection's but he comes a close second. Before any one Say's it I know Fiest is not as good a writer a lot of others but if I hadn't picked up Magician all those years ago I may never have wandered down the fantasy road |

 I have almost reached that part of MOI and as I have begun to take a liking to certain characters in the book I will feel very upset if something happens to them  | |

Glad there are no spoilers, after getting this far through the book  . Oh yes, I shall certainly take Nixie's advise! | |
