Rhom Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Also as a neat factoid... several of these authors post and interact around here in various threads. Abraham and Abercrombie poke in fairly regularly in threads for their books. Bakker kind of surprised us all earlier this year with a thread seeking feedback on his most recent book. Scott Lynch used to post here long ago. His profile picture was Locke from Final Fantasy VI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check out Mark Lawrence... Heard alot about that guy. Which is Robin hobbs best series with some nice romance? Hobb's series (except soldier son) are all related so just start at the beginning with the Farseer trilogy, the first of which is Assassin's Apprentice. There is romance running through pretty much all of her books, and IMO at least she writes that side of things very well. Two relationships in particular are running threads throughout the books. Characters are a strong point for Hobb, so she handles the relationships between them, whether romantic, familial, friendship, whatever, very well. If Assassin's Apprentice really doesn't work for you, then you could try her Liveships Trilogy, starting with Ship of Magic. It relates to the Assassin's series, but can be read as a stand alone trilogy if you really wanted to (but why would you?!). In chronological order her series in the Realm of the Elderlings goes: Farseer Trilogy - Liveships Trilogy - Tawny Man Trilogy - Rain Wild Chronicles - Fitz and the Fool Trilogy. I've not read her soldier son trilogy but have heard pretty poor reviews of it.

RedEyedGhost Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Just now, RedEyedGhost said: Rachel Aaron's Eli Monpress - thieves Jesse Bullington's The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart - thieves Mike Carey's Felix Castor books - rogues Douglas Hulick's Tales of the Kin - thieves/rogues Kameron Hurley's The Bel Dame Apocrypha - thieves/rogues John Hornor Jacobs' The Incorruptibles - rogues Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim - thief/rogue Daniel Polansky's Low Town - thief/rogue Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn - thieves Courtney Schaefer's The Shattered Sigil - smuggler, so I guess that's roguish, I just wanted to list it because it's awesome. Chris Wooding's The Tales of the Ketty Jay - thieves/rogues I just posted this in another thread and thought it would be appropriate here as well. Particularly Hurley, Schaefer, Wooding, Jacobs, and Hulick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wooding, good call. I think Ser Rodrigo would love Ketty Jay series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 http://scottlynch78.tumblr.com/post/156292905743/hello-mr-lynch-im-guessing-you-probably-cannot Hello Mr. Lynch. I'm guessing you probably cannot yet answer this, but I was wondering if you can share any hints about your story in the Book of Swords anthology. Is it in the same universe as "A Year and a Day In Old Theradane"? It’s not the same universe. I can however tell you what it’s called… “The Smoke of Gold is Glory.” And handing this thing in was a major body-and-mind-wracking anxiety experience. And I won.

Brother Longfoot Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I felt like I should post b/c I was the one who asked that question (have been following the news on the anthology for a while). I had debated asking whether the story was set in the Gentleman Bastard-verse, but I kind of figured that 1) a sword and sorcery story would likely be in the "Theradane setting" and 2) he'd be more likely to provide details on a non-Emberlain related question.

A rare occasion where it finished too quickly. I think he's entrenched in Young Adult novels these days but I should maybe try one out. I recall him saying there're are weirdly less restrictions on YA in terms of creativity and imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me too. He's apparently currently in the process of writing a long epic fantasy novel to start a new series. I don't know if it's going to be YA or not though.

As said above, Chris has a non-YA project currently in motion which we should be hearing about soon (ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued by seeing his spin on epic fantasy - i guess weavers was in that style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairy bear Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It really seems that the long expected news are finally coming this month. I'm eager to read the ToE. I was a little disappointed with the plot in TRoT, but still Lynch's world and writing is superb, there's lot of potential for the rest of the story.
