[QUOTE="Simon Collins, post: 3201959, member: 9860"] Thanks for taking the time to think about your recommendations. I had forgot to put in that I have read Constantine's Wraeththu series which, though pretty weird, I thought was very evocatively written. I'd like to read more of Constantine's work and your suggestion reminded me I had once come across one of the Magravandias Chronicles on a bookshop shelf a few years ago and for some weird reason had forgotten about them - so thanks. This has jumped to the top of my list. Parker's 'Fencer Trilogy' - your description just gave me a couple of concerns - when you use the words 'technical' and 'treatise' I get the feeling the books might be a bit dry for me? 'Deep' and 'intriguing' I could handle, but the plot has to move along, and the characters must be compelling and fluid. Rickman's 'Merrily Watkins' - I quite like a bit of supernatural in my fantasy (modern or medieval) if it's done subtly but I did not grasp from your overview whether the books are fantasy or not. I presume they're modern, though. I suppose I should also say that I'm a lot more lax about fantasy/horror cross-over than fantasy/sci-fi - I wouldn't enjoy Tanith Lee otherwise! I've also remembered another series which I have read and enjoyed to a certain extent - Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel trilogy.

It's written from the perspective of an orc. Anybody know/read this book? [/QUOTE]
