Wheel of Time book 12: A Memory of Light
Alex C:
I just want you guys to know that the only thing keeping me from making a full-on anti-Goodkind rant is that it's been a long ass time since Boro_Bandito mentioned him.
kemon:
that doesn't leave me much time to finish reading knife of dreams which has been sitting on my desk for almost a year now. i just finished the mote in god's eye and romance of the three kingdoms before that if anyone else is interested in good science fiction or chinese historical fiction, respectively. actually, romance deserves a lot more said about it, but i guess this thread isn't the place for it.
anyways, when i learned about the new writer picking up, it made me think of the things i've heard about hebert's son picking up his father's work in the dune series which has not gotten any much of a good review so far.
Aimless:
Yeah, have you guys SEEN the new cover?? *shudders*

Daryl K. Sweet's covers are always mostly pretty bad.

Also this.
I'm a Wheel of Time fan, I belong to a few forums, done some fanart and hell I even enjoy the MUD. The last two I haven't done in years and I keep on the forums mostly because of the people and other content. I'm still a fan of RJ out of nostalgia. It was the first book series that got me hooked on reading as an enjoyment. Yes the series has been stretched to an unnesessary length and the writing is mostly bloated with heavy descriptions, but I'm determined to finish this goddamn series. Also Brandon Sanderson is one hell of a writer and I highly recommend to anyone his Misborn series as well as his novel stand alone novel Elantris.
Also, if we're gonna be recommending pulp-ish fantasy I say look around for Glenn Cook's Black Company series, Steven Erikson's Malazan Books of the Fallen and to a lesser extent for the pulp George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. And highfive to the dude that mentioned Swanwick.
