[QUOTE="Davek, post: 1390267, member: 5773"] I have read all four of Erikson's series at least 3 time each... in the last year. It would be safe to say I am a fan :D . One thing that struck me was how much I missed in each reading, yet after each reading I thought it was one of the best books I had read. To be fair, I think the sublty and detail may be too much for anyone to fully grasp in a single reading, but that doesn't prevent the books from being extremely entertaining. On long multy book series, there was a time when I didn't even consider buying a novel unless it had at least 500 pages, because there was too much trash out there and my funds were limited. I read fast, and want more than a couple of hours of reading out of any book I spend money on. Say what you want about Erikson's books, but I do not think that any other author has developed as deep and detailed world as his, and I hate to say it, but I think that includes Tolkien. [/QUOTE]
