Thanks much!

roger jon ellory. A quiet vendetta. english author. Chapter 1 & 2 need to be got through, skipping excessive descriptive passage, (personal belief. Bad editing.) though picking out the characters concerned. Persevere till the main character enters the police station to give himself up. This is a casually brutal violent book. or is it? the perspective of the person that is relating at a particular time, will, I believe, lead you to question that first assumption. It is not within your fantasy gendre, though I believe you might find it compelling. The type of characters are simple placed in a different time and place

what do you think of him?

[Winters_Sorrow]

Gardens of the Moon is a really tough read to begin with as you're dropped into the thick of the action with multiple characters, new magic 'rules' which aren't explained and it's all a little overwhelming at first.

I'm assured that it gets a lot easier to read and, in fairness, I'm on page 320 now and it's starting to flow a lot easier.

I haven't read any of his other works yet but I have got Deadhouse Gates (which is book 2) ready for when I finish this one.

You'll find Deadhouse Gate easier to get into as the first book explains most of the stuff you need to know. The rest of the series tends to flow after that and its good fun.

Other than that, depends what you really want to read, for example if youre after a heroic epic then Simon Scarrows Eagle books are pretty entertaining, as are Bernard Cornwells Grail Quest and Uhtred novels. If you want a Viking series then I can recommend Tim Severins trilogy. Other than that if you want fantasy then I recommend Steven Erikson as mentioned as well as Paul Kearney (currently reading the second book in his Sea Beggars series.)
