[QUOTE="Taren Seeker, post: 419731, member: 615"] I'll repeat some here, but that should just be some positive reinforcement. [b]George RR Martin[/b]: Oh, just BUY them already. You'll like them. [b]Glen Cook[/b]: Yep, the Company is good stuff. I second the recommendation of his detective novels. Light and entertaining reads. [b]Barry Hughhart[/b], Bridge of Birds: If you like fairy tales, this book is for you. I think the whole series is just an excuse to get in as many Chinese folklore elements as humanly possible, not to mention that it's incredibly clever and hilarious. Unfortunately, I believe it's out of print so you may have trouble finding a copy.The next 2 books in the series are good, but don't reach the dizzying heights that the first book set. [b]Katherine Kerr[/b], Derry Series: nice work, you won't regret picking up any of the books. Celtic mythos, a wheel of reincarnation, dark fey all over the place, it's fun. Just trying to figure out who is the reincarnation of whom is half the fun. It's a series heavily steeped in karma and destiny. [b]Guy Gavriel Kay[/b]: OK, this guy is fantastic, and a fine Canadian ;). His first trilogy (Fionavar Tapestry) is derivative of Narnia and goes heavy on the melodrama, but it only gets better from there. Books I particularily recommend are Tigana, Lions of Al-Rassan, and his new series, the Serpentine Mosaic. IIRC the first two are out. He is one of the most skilled fantasy authors that I've ever read. Kay has a gift for language, and his pacing, dialogue and characterizations are all top notch. I CANNOT recommend him enough. As I said, his first series is a little immature, but this guy gets better with every book he writes, even when you think he can't go any further.
