Fantasy/Sci-fi Book recommendations revisited

on book 3 of The First King trilogy by RA Salvatore. I thought the Demon War was 'OK' although its one of those books where nothing very dark ever happens and it feels like its always going to work out in the end. There's no 'oh shit' moments.

I rank First King below that. I think it might be a book for kids.
 
reading Red Country now, good shit.

Spoiler
 
Just got done with Brent Weeks stuff.
Night angel trilogy was fun
Blinding knife books are great too... Jusy have to wait for the next one now :(

Also check out ravens shadow by Anthony Ryan. Its a self published one and is really quite good.

Next dresden comes out next week iirc
 
Red Country was good. Enjoyed Mistborn. Reading the Terry Pratchett scifi/fantasy collab "The Long Earth" right now. Gonna read Snuff after that. Cant wait for Blood and Bone to come out. Taking too long
 
About to finish Dance With Dragons by R.R. Martin since hurricane sandy I plowed through book 2,3, and 4. Since I won't see book 6 until 2015 any of you dudes got some must reads? Next book I had lined up was the thomas jefferson book by meachem but i want more fantasy bros.

I've only read Tolkien's stuff, Harry P Wizard Books, and this.

I'm ok with all the black company books... but fucking dread empire needed an ending that it'll never get :(
 
Oh, just realised I haven't seen James Barclay's Raven series mentioned much, I realy enjoyed that.

Black Company was good for the style of writing I found, but the story itself was fairly meh.

Your name is a crutch that isn't strong enough to support your humour.

Also, it would have been funny (/funnier) if you'd just said dragons and lances.

His name. Look at it sideways. He says it looks like a crutch, and I happen to agree. The humour comment suggests he doesn't have a good sense of one.

And I thought that if he'd said 'Dragonlance books contain Dragons and lances' it sould have been funnier, since you could have inferred that from the name of the series, regardless of whether you were right or not.

Sorry :(
