You didn't like Robin Hobb? Gher Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 05:49:19 PM
You should also probably try Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn. If you like that, try his others: Warbreaker and Elantris.


He is definitely an author to read if you enjoy fantasy.


Or just really agreed with the Sanderson suggestion?

Does Erikson get better? perringoldeneyes - 12/01/2010 05:29:51 PM 1553 Views
I read somewhere that reading Erikson involves being completely lost for the first half of the book- Gher - 12/01/2010 05:41:35 PM 967 Views

I think Liveship is the best of her series, so you should give it a try ursidae - 12/01/2010 06:40:51 PM 931 Views
Agreed. Cockatiel of Doom - 12/01/2010 11:06:07 PM 814 Views
I agree the live ship series is her best random thoughts - 22/01/2010 05:39:32 PM 704 Views
Her strength is her characters, IMO. Gher - 12/01/2010 07:44:23 PM 913 Views
See, I think her characters are weak, at least the main characters. Jacob - 12/01/2010 08:48:10 PM 865 Views
LIVESHIP isn't first-person, which is a big plus in its favour. *NM* Werthead - 13/01/2010 04:19:42 AM 356 Views
Yes. She's weirdly hit or miss. Chas - 13/01/2010 01:00:50 AM 866 Views

A couple suggestions: (edit) Jacob - 12/01/2010 05:51:35 PM 1054 Views
No. Burn it. Erikson is horrid. Read Sci-Fi instead. Start with KSR and Alastair Reynolds. *NM* The Shrike - 12/01/2010 07:49:14 PM 425 Views
