Not to criticize your suggestions, or books I haven't even read... Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/04/2012 10:27:17 PM
The Bloody Nine seems like he would be right up your alley.

but he/she did say he/she disliked Game of Thrones, and I'm guessing the violence and harshness have something to do with that... as I understand it, Abercrombie is as bad or worse in that regard?

I think Brandon Sanderson would be great for you beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:43:11 PM 1813 Views
Also, for a different feel, but also quite good: The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:46:18 PM 1803 Views
Read the first few, then stopped. Always planned on returning. Thanks. *NM* Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:09:17 AM 1016 Views

Don't like Hobb. Thanks anyway! Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:11:06 AM 1899 Views
If you want something like Wheel of Time just read Goodkind. He copied Jordan. *NM* Tom - 03/04/2012 04:18:10 AM 911 Views

It starts out excruciatingly slow. And the plot was boring. Thanks *NM* Cuppa - 18/04/2012 04:33:04 PM 920 Views
