[QUOTE="paulewaug, post: 1212358, member: 5899"] I'd say that due to word of mouth it has been growing and growing. I picked up the first book when it came out because I saw this really cool cover on the new release section and the overall plot sounded kind of cool to me. I think some, if not many of, the earleir readers were the same way. Then when ever a topic of "good fantasy" "good writers" kind of thing would get started someone would bring him up and people would check it out and it grow. As the fan base grew and dedicated fantasy fans praised the work more people would check it out and it would move up the chart. I'm sad to say I have not picked up the most recent book yet, it has gotten to be a bit Too gritty and, well "nasty." That Is one of the draws of his writing, that he doesn't pull any punches but I have little to no interest in the outcome of people that, imo, are pure scum so I have lost ome of my interest in what's going on. It's a bad place full of bad people. But....he is a great writer and I feel I will need to get latest book and continue the story. ;) At least the characters have motivation and the story is, if anything, too true to life! And Anybody character is fair game, No "Oh he's special, nothing bad will happen to him." :eek: [/QUOTE]
