[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6356355, member: 18"] Scott Lynch - The Lies of Locke Lamora It's fairly long in paperback, but not up to "OMG HOW CAN I LIFT THIS!" standards (nor long even by '80s fantasy standards), and it's technically part of an ongoing series, but stands alone absolutely fine (plus the other two aren't nearly as good). More importantly for you, it's very much in the spirit of Leiber and if you didn't like Sanderson, you probably will like Lynch! :) Plus the names are pretty Western (I mean, so long as you see Fantasy Italy/Germany as Western, and I imagine you do!). It's also certainly relatively new and good-hearted in the way some of those you mention are (if a bit grittier - along Leiber-ish lines). [/QUOTE]
