    So I've read a pretty awesome book. It's called Kings of the Wyld. It's about a couple of old mercs coming out of retirement to help rescue the daughter of one of them. Goodreads description: The world is hard core fantasy with dragons wyverns etc etc... The book reminds me of The Heroes by Abercombie, it has that sense of humor but also some really nice fight scenes.

    Thank You. Another series similar to (Raven's Shadow ) where the first book is very good but the second and third books destroy the series. Too bad.

    Did someone here read The Last Mortal Bond by Brian Staveley ? And if so can you please tell me (in spoiler tags) how does it end? I keep trying to find the ending online and I cant and I dont want to waste my time on a 600 page book in which I hate all the characters.

    If your looking for humour I will recommend anything by Terry Pratchett. There are multiple ways to start the Discworld series. But I found that Guards Guards! was the funniest of the lot.

    Meh, I've read the first one in the series ( Half a king) and it didnt live up to its predecessors. I mean The Heroes was amazing(top 3 fantasy books i`ve read), but this last one wasnt that good. I`m gonna read Half a War just in case it gets better

    The Providence of Fire (Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne #2) . Second book in the series was very very good. I dont know if it was better than the first one, but it was a very good read. Highly recommended

    So I've re-read Blood Song and Tower Lord to prepare me for Queen of Fire. After reading that I`m somewhat dissapointed. Another good first novel (Blood Song) and sequels that fail to live up to the first. I dont even know if its over or not? Was it a trilogy? Anyway mediocre stuff... The Red Knight and Fell Sword were pretty good if I remember corectly.

    On a side note I just fineshed The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and the other two books in the series that are out , and it was pretty fun. It was recommended by Patrick Rothfuss.

    ^ Nice rec. It also has a sequel. The Fell Sword. Like them both. Although the first is better. Can't wait for the third.

    Just finished House of Blades and The Crimson Vault last night in one go. What can I say, I really liked it, it had some original ideas , but mostly reused tropes in different ways. I like that good and evil are blurred , and I like Simon and Alin. But the rest of the characters are 2-D. Also, the author could have explained the relationship between Simon and Alin better in the first book, `cause I was under the impression they were somewhat friends , but weren't really close, and then in...

    So, I don't know if you guys like him but Dan Brown's new book Inferno is out. And it's all about Dante's Divine Comedy. The arts and symbols were pretty cool but the story was weak as hell.

    If you liked Dresden Files you should read Alex Verus series by Benedict Jacka. He has two books out and the third one will be released in late August. The story is pretty good. It takes place in modern London. The world is like Dresden Files with magic and such, although the magic is different. The world is full of Harry Dresden types who swing lots of firepower around, but the main character is a seer and most of the time he wants to survive. It's pretty good so far, just like the first...

    Just started reading Fated, and in the first chapter found this : "I’ve even heard of one guy in Chicago who advertises in the phone book under ‘Wizard’" Pretty cool.

    I felt the same way, and after 2 weeks I picked up Best Served Cold and The Heroes. After reading them Joe Abercombie became my favorite writer. The Heroes is just amazing. You have to give them a try.

    I also finished 4 books in the Iron Druid Chronicles, and they were bad. I mean really really bad. The main character is basically a Gary-Stu. And he tries so hard to copy Jim Butchers Dresden that it's not even funny, and the damn dog was funny in the second book but now he's just mildly amusing. The only book I enjoyed in the series was Hammered which was the third book , I think. That one was pretty good, but only because of the absence of the dog and the female-love-connection. Also,...

    I think Joe wanted to show us not all characters grow so much, just like Nicomo Cosca in Best Served Cold. Only a couple more months until (A) Red Country. Old!Bloody-Nine will be awesome.

    Thanks for the warning, I've found three books from Bakker from the Prince of Nothing series, any ideea how many books there are? I've read the ASoIaF prequels, pretty interesting read. Also, my father keeps nagging me to read Dune, and I heard it's pretty awesome but I think I saw a movie and didn't like it.

    I'm bored, really really bored and I have to wait until July 12th for A Dance of Dragons to come out. In the meantime I was thinking of reading another fantasy series. I was debating between the Sword of Truth or Mazan- Book of the Falen? Which one should I start? Can anyone recommend a fantasy series similar to Ice and Fire?

    Have you read Ender`s Game? It`s not short, but it could be done in 20-30 minutes if you leave out some parts.
