^ ArteEtLabore14 Well the fact that he up and died before finishing the damn thing does make me mad! I'll agree, he meanders around plenty, but I found myself liking his characters well enough that I enjoyed the series, and am looking forward to the conclusion to see how it ends. Will also be the first to admit that I'm not a huge connoisseur of the genre, so am certainly not an authority. I would like to read more fantasy, any suggestions along those lines?

+1 on George RR Martin's a Song of Ice and Fire series. In his books the baddies are well defined which is a nice divergence from normal Fantasy. From Weis & Hickman I verry much liked the Death Gate Cycle. Certainly the first books (of 7) made me laugh a couple of times and there is plenty of well written action. For better written action sequences am sideing with Flambeur, Peter F. Hamilton's The Night's Dawn trilogy is imo one of the best in it's genre. Its scifi though. But if you enjoy those it's good to know that Hamilton is a prolific writer. You may want to stop reading before he stops writing (me not so much). Best of all imo are Heroes die and Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Woodring Stover. (doubting while writing if one should put capslock on). Better action scenes I have not yet read and the main character is a bad ass! FYI: They are Fantasy with some Scfifi thrown in. Orson Scott Card I like. Is SF though. David Gemmel writes simple fantasy. Hero starts of as a nobody. Finds himself, finds a girl, saves the nation and inbetween does all the heroic stuff. Not much character interaction. The farseer trilogy is well written but if like me your middle name is 'Depression' perhaps not for you. If you watch European movies you know what I mean when I say they have European endings, but not the titty flash in the first 10 minutes (Dutch movies simply rule). Terry Goodkind, what can I say. Before you start reading his work Look at the picture that is on the inside of the backcover. Yes that Ãs the writer himself there. Truly. Now there is a narcistic person who writes about a hero figure who is everything he is by looks and presumebly character, but better. The main character is a bore, but what is realy wrong with the books is the sheer adulation all the other characters feel for him. I remember one part which went along the line of this (can't recall the exact words) "He is so masterful, daring, beautiful commanding, muscled, powerful, intelligent..." I don't know how to go on. Goodkind could! Had to sell them and felt almost as good as when I tore Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged in half to protect further generations from that drivel. I'm sorry if I stepped on anybodys toes. I guess I feel so emotional about it, it had to come outOriginally Posted by CDFS
