| Re: Fantasy Recommendations for the Unenlightened 2 Hello everyone,
I have been on a bit of reading kick lately. Here are some books that I have read and would recommend you check out.
The Blade Itself and Before they were hanged by Joe Abercrombie. Fantastic series. Great story and even better characters. If you have read these yet, you must go out and buy them.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Very entertaining and well written tale. I'm really looking forward to the next installment.
The Well of Ascention by Brandon Sanderson. I really love his work, especially the Mistborn series.
The Words of Making by David Forbes. I didn't think it was as good as the first the book in the series, but I did like it.
The Wanderers Tale by David Bilsborough. A little slow at first, but picked up towards the end.
God's Demon by Wayne Barlowe. Great book. Fantastic Characters, great vision and description of Hell. I really like this one.
I am currently half way through Winterbirth by Brain Ruckley. Very good book, once I put together who was who.
One I would highly recommend that you STAY AWAY FROM is Mr. B. Gone by Clive Barker. Terrible book. I was told by some in the industry that he was putting his Teen writing to the side and returning to his horror roots. This is not so. Take out the foul language and it is mild, timid teen read. I really struggled to finish this one and most people I know who bought it, were smart enough to stop reading and get their money back. |
