It's been so quiet lately, and no one has come up with any new subjects, so I thought I'd start one up... I know that some people on this board have read Guy...
Weel, outside of the fantasy spectrum, I would say Sharon Kay Penman. Lovely, lovely books... On Thu, 02 Dec 2004 21:07:22 -0000, christina_grykuliak ... -- ...
I'd just like to jump in here a moment with my thoughts...feel free to ignore them if they're boring :P To be honest, Michelle West and GGK are the only...
... I would agree with most of the choices here, although I admit that Robin Hobb's Assassin Trilogy did nothing for me. She's awfully hard on her characters,...
Good call on the Friedman. I wanted to put her on the list but felt like mine was getting too long. I also agree about the Hobb books. She is harsh on her...
I tried to send this once before, and it didn't seem to go through. For excellent historical fiction, I recommend Sharon Kay Penman. On Thu, 2 Dec 2004...
I second that-----amazing stuff. I had to own everything she's written. There are few authors that I can read over and over again and she is one of them. Amy...
It was my experience that the purely historical stuff is better than her mysteries...but then, I'm not really a reader of mysteries. K ... -- "A little...
Yeah, I guess I should have specified--I've never read those mysteries. I wish she'd stick to the history and churn those books out quicker Amy L. Higgins ...
Good call on the Friedman. I wanted to put her on the list but felt like mine was getting too long. I also agree about the Hobb books. She is harsh on her main...
... It took me two tries to get into the series myself, but I found that once I started understanding the effect of the Mistwraith's curse better, and the...
From what I have heard it looks like that they will start back up in the spring. They could'nt get permission to use reserve funds to operate over the winter. ...
Curse of the Mistwraith Ships of Merior Warhost of Vastmark Fugitive Prince Grand Conspiracy Peril's Gate Traitor's Knot Personally, I liked the inventiveness...
I wouldn't say it's a step up or step down in writing strength, merely a step sideways. However if a new reader likes it, chances are they'll find something...
Another JW book to get you started is Master of Whitestorm which feels very much like a test run for the Wars of Light and Shadow series. To Ride Hells Chasm...
From: christina_grykuliak <christina_grykuliak@...> Date: Thu, Dec 02, 2004 at 09:07:22PM -0000 ... May I recommend the 4-book series from Ian Irvine: The...
I found that I enjoyed Wurts earlier books more than the Mistwraith series or "Hells Chasm". I have read "Master of Whitestorm" and "The Cycle of Fire Trilogy"...
Opps sorry ignore my previous post as I have just repeated what Stacey said. I need to remember to read all the emails before I start replying :) Dale ... ...
... Its ok, I think we have all posted in an enthusiastic burst before reading all the posts. Im glad to see Im not the only one who enjoyed the Empire books,...
And down here they are talking about it being sold to pay off the debts that it has incurred. The mayer is also trying to find a way to buy out the ferry from...
... Most of the people I know who noticed it at all said something to the effect of "Oh, well, that might make it less stressful to drive to New York City." ...
I just had to pop in to add that she's done a sequel -- how much of one, I'm not sure -- to SILVER METAL LOVER, which is possibly my favourite of her novels...
I'm pretty sure he helped with those ones; I remember -- but I don't have it on hand -- that he discussed a bit of the process back on GEnie (in the days of...
... And although it almost kills me to actually agree with thunderchild <g>, I'll second this -- I think people here would really like the Erikson novels....
