I second it, if you enjoyed it, I warmly recommend Illium/Olympos from the same author which is a bit in the same vein. And generally I really like Dan Simmons.

I second it, if you enjoyed it, I warmly recommend Illium/Olympos from the same author which is a bit in the same vein. And generally I really like Dan Simmons. What I found fascinating is that he does not write always the same book (as a lot of author), and he can write in different genre and stay very credible. Carrion Comfort, Children of the Night, The Terror in the horror genre are really great. (Try to read the last one in the heart of a very cold winter)
