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?


As djwilson and Snoop have pointed out, it is a different sort of violence, as oddly as it sounds, a more family friendly and traditional violence. As I go down his list of requirements for recommendations my thoughts immediately turned to Abercrombie. It sounded like he was describing The First Law Trilogy perfectly.

But as Cuppa has pointed out, Abercrombie wasn't his cup of tea...so you are right. DAMN YOU! :P

Not to criticize your suggestions, or books I haven't even read... Legolas - 02/04/2012 10:27:17 PM 1820 Views

I think Brandon Sanderson would be great for you beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:43:11 PM 1707 Views
Also, for a different feel, but also quite good: The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:46:18 PM 1708 Views
Read the first few, then stopped. Always planned on returning. Thanks. *NM* Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:09:17 AM 963 Views

Don't like Hobb. Thanks anyway! Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:11:06 AM 1801 Views
If you want something like Wheel of Time just read Goodkind. He copied Jordan. *NM* Tom - 03/04/2012 04:18:10 AM 852 Views

It starts out excruciatingly slow. And the plot was boring. Thanks *NM* Cuppa - 18/04/2012 04:33:04 PM 867 Views
