- lc9er 2y agoI really like this series, too. If you haven't tried them, I'd suggest Glen Cook's "Garrett, P.I." series. He's a PI in a fantasy world. It's lighter in tone than his "Black Company" books. Kind of a mashup of Adams, Pratchett, and Raymond Chandler.
- romanows 2y agoI picked up the first one, thanks for the recommendation.
- shawn_w 2y agoOh, there's a lot of darkness in the Garrett books too.
- motogpjimbo 2y agoI've just ordered the first three, thanks.
- robbiep 2y agoThey were fantastic books! Check out the Tyrant Philosophers by Adrian Tchaikovsky - a brilliant absurdist fantasy series (2/3 published so far). First one is tough going for a while, then quite fun. Second one is brilliant in my opinion!
- generic92034 2y agoOr rather wait for the completion of the series before buying any? We have been burnt before. ;)
- ulkis 2y agoHow to say Rothfuss without saying Rothfuss. :)
- zeroonetwothree 2y agoWith that one it’s probably a blessing there aren’t more.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoAnd George RR Martin. :( I am truly not mad at either of those guys. At the end of the day they gotta live their lives the way they see fit. But it is a real bummer that we are unlikely to see the end of either series. And unfortunately for up-and-coming authors, it makes me very leery of picking up any unfinished series again.
- robbiep 2y agoeven 2 books is good. But Tchaikovsky is potentially one of the most prolific writers i've ever come across so I wouldn't worry about that too much. I think he's released 6 books in the last 12-18 months
