[QUOTE="Pozatronic, post: 2338438, member: 21699"] Another Vote for R. Scott Bakker and his [I]Prince Of Nothing[/I] series. I'd put it right next to Martins SOFAI series....maybe a notch above? Maybe. I think it's a bit more brutal then Martins books, actually. Besides Akka, there's not one character I can say I actually LIKE, although they're all incredably interesting: The manipulative Anasurimbor Kellhus; Cnauir "The most violent of all men"; Drusus Achamian..."Akka"...poor,poor Akka. Warning...the first book took me about two hundred pages before I got into it. I had a hard time connecting to any of the characters. If you find it a bit dry, keep plunging through it. It gets better. And then [I]Warrior Prophet[/I] hits....and it keeps on hitting. Great stuff, better then the first. Bakkers pacing is amazing. I'll also second the motion for Guy Gavrial Kay. Absolutly nothing like Bakker and Martin, but great in his own right...although his trilogy is a bit too fantastical. His first stand alone "Tigana" is one of my favorite novels. [/QUOTE]
