Re: I third Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb MalkierKnight Send a noteboard - 24/03/2011 10:11:24 PM
is it epic fantasy? i would wiki it but im always wary of accidental spoilers there. many a twist or denouement were ruined through a wiki plot summary :(.

it seems the amazon reviews are glowing, as well. i think i will pick it up. can you vouch for the prose? some of those sword of truth books could have been great if not for goodkinds prose.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

Erikson's books are fantastic, but the characterization could not be more different than WoT's. lord-of-shadow - 24/03/2011 03:54:11 PM 1135 Views

Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him random thoughts - 24/03/2011 06:29:06 PM 1112 Views
Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan Deadsy - 24/03/2011 09:06:20 PM 1171 Views

I enjoyed the book but I don't think his prose were as good as Jordan's random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:05:02 PM 1029 Views
Haha dude Robin Hobb is a woman *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:23:34 PM 450 Views

I'm loving the Robin Hobb shout outs! (She's sadly underrepresented here) *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 02:57:37 AM 525 Views
Name of the Wind, and its recent sequel Wise Man's Fear are really, really good. beetnemesis - 25/03/2011 04:49:51 PM 1075 Views
Are the Dresden books really that good? Darth_Katie - 25/03/2011 08:14:37 PM 1024 Views
They're a fun read. It's a nice break from epic stuff Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:22:36 PM 1038 Views
Honestly, they kind of remind me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if Giles was the main character. beetnemesis - 29/03/2011 06:18:44 PM 977 Views
Hmm ... Giles was my favorite part of Buffy. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2011 07:41:21 PM 960 Views
I was really disappointed by WMF, reminded me A LOT of Crossroads of Twilight *NM* NaClH2O - 06/04/2011 09:30:17 PM 537 Views
I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation! MonCul - 26/03/2011 12:22:09 AM 1120 Views

Excellent! That's how I found both her and Robin Hobb. MonCul - 02/04/2011 12:14:43 AM 1027 Views
