This looks kind of interesting. Short, at 372 pages, but maybe that means more frequent publication than we've come to be used to in GRRM-world.

Also I would recommend. The Misenchanted Sword by. Lawrence Watt-Evens And by chance have you read The Kane the Mystic Swordsman series by Karl Edward Wagner ? Its a dark fantasy series comprising 5 books in all . Kane is a heroic villain/antihero and he happens to be an immortal . 1. Bloodstone 2. Darkness Weaves 3.Dark Crusade 4.Death Angels Shadow 5. Night Winds Also by Wagner Conan The Road of Kings Bran Mak Morn Legion of the Shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to read more, but I have a tough time finding stuff I like. I like GRRM and some of Erikson's Malazan series. I think Daniel Abraham has a lot of potential, but I have yet to make it all the way through any of his books. He's a fine writer though, for sure. R. Scott Bakker is good, but depressing to read. Abercrombie is another good writer, but also depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abercrombie is another good writer, but also depressing. Ive read Martin and Erkson and yes they are like them alot . I have not gotten around to Baker or Abercrombie Ive, heard both are quite good. If you Like Erikson you might also like Glen Cook's Black company series . Also Tim Powers I would recommend starting his novel The Anubis Gates The Star Rover by Jack London. This is his only fantasy novel . it's unknown to most readers and it's unlike anything he ever wrote . It is about a straitjacket death row inmate who discovers he that he can astral project himself into his past lives at . Epic in scope and scale , It takes you across time , space and history . You can find it online complete on project Gutenberg . It is a great book, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 What I'd really like is another epic medieval fantasy like ASOIAF, but that doesn't seem to exist. I wonder at times when/if we'll get something like that again. I think we'll get something good eventually, maybe even better than ASOIAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
