'Malice' john Gwynne (no spoilers please)

It's nowhere near as good as a Song of Ice and Fire. Most glaringly, the writing is occasionally clunky, and it deals in occasional ridiculous scenarios like farmboys easily consorting with princesses straight from the Eddings/Brooks era which hangs really weirdly with the dark, almost Bakker-esque direction of the overall plot.

It's not bad, and has some strong ideas behind it, but it's no landmark and probably won't garner too much attention in the long run.

I felt the same @polish. Almost automatically didn't the feel the world. . The online reviews are what got me. One said review was by Mark Lawrence, author of the broken empire triogly and one of my favorite. Felt like I should take his word at it? Also, it's not being released in the US until December 3rd I believe. Very bummed.
