For younger people: Nicholson's Wind on Fire trilogy IndigoAjah Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 01:06:08 AM
The 2nd and 3rd books are significantly, IMO, better than the dull first one, and cover interesting issues and ideas with reasonably intersting characters.

I'm also going to put forward Gregory Maguire - Wicked and Son of a Witch and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister are all underrated books.
Does the Devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?

What difference does it make after all? Anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's Earth? All in the mind.
