Now, I am just finishing Reaper's Gale, and purchased Toll the Hounds a couple days ago, which I am HIGHLY excited to start reading. Hands down, Erikson has become my favourite author due to the intensity in his books, along with the intricacy and superbly written viewpoints of each character. I would recommend these books to anyone who has a love for the Fantasy genre. :)Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-14177246496763640522008-06-17T06:18:00.000-04:002008-06-17T06:18:00.000-04:00Ah Bill, you're in for a treat if you check the Ma...Ah Bill, you're in for a treat if you check the Malazan books out: not everyone loves them of course but if you like your fantasy big, grim and intricate there's no one better. The first book isn't quite as good structurally as the others, (NB, take that in the context of a series I think it an unparalleled achievement, it's still very good!) but we're all a bit naive in our first book and it just gets better from there on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-52715498011086893432008-06-16T15:53:00.000-04:002008-06-16T15:53:00.000-04:00Glad you liked the interview Rob :) Yeah, Steve ha...Glad you liked the interview Rob :) Yeah, Steve had some great things to say :D<BR/><BR/>Uros, it was a little long, so thanks for sticking with it!<BR/><BR/>Tom, I totally agree :) Looking forward to your US debut btw...<BR/><BR/>Mihai, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bill, you're in for a major treat :) Thanks also for the recommendation!
