They're a fun read. It's a nice break from epic stuff Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 25/03/2011 09:22:36 PM
Oh!And the Harry Dresden books. Wizard detective! Don't roll your eyes, it's awesome, becomes suitably epic, and has some great characters and humor.

First couple books are good, but they become amazing at book... 3, I want to say.

I've always kind of mentally categorized them into "Urban Fantasy I don't Want to Read," but I don't really know that much else about them. Are they for serious good?

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 1051 Views

Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him random thoughts - 24/03/2011 06:29:06 PM 1035 Views
Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan Deadsy - 24/03/2011 09:06:20 PM 1092 Views
really? I thought he had picked him random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:00:44 PM 948 Views
RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died. Deadsy - 25/03/2011 08:21:26 PM 1016 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 946 Views
Haha dude Robin Hobb is a woman *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:23:34 PM 420 Views

I'm loving the Robin Hobb shout outs! (She's sadly underrepresented here) *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 02:57:37 AM 489 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 993 Views
Are the Dresden books really that good? Darth_Katie - 25/03/2011 08:14:37 PM 942 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 899 Views
Hmm ... Giles was my favorite part of Buffy. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2011 07:41:21 PM 874 Views
I was really disappointed by WMF, reminded me A LOT of Crossroads of Twilight *NM* NaClH2O - 06/04/2011 09:30:17 PM 505 Views
I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation! MonCul - 26/03/2011 12:22:09 AM 1045 Views

Excellent! That's how I found both her and Robin Hobb. MonCul - 02/04/2011 12:14:43 AM 948 Views
If you are willing to step out of the fantasy genre, check out David Weber HyogaRott - 30/03/2011 01:53:19 PM 1006 Views
