Well I'm craving something in this genre but I'm a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I'm not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?
I'm looking for something in a high fantasy setting. I'm not too keen on heavy politics and war driven plots (though, I can read that ). What really gets me is interesting characters, good action and magical creatures.
I've loved anything Discworld and I've also enjoyed the First Law books by Abercrombie.
I'm finding that Tolkien, Sanderson and George RR Martin appear on every fantasy list I come across, so if you do recommend something I'd appreciate it be something other than that.
The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman
Ah this book! I've read The Lesser Dead by the same author and was impressed with the quality. I've had the Blacktongue Thief in mind for a while, but I've heard it's part of a trilogy and I'd rather wait for it before jumping on it. In the meantime I'll keep Those Across the River in reserve for whenever I feel like reading about werewolves.
