I will check out the Megan Lindholm stuff now. Gemmell is fantastic and a great "starting" fantasy author imo.<br /><br />I unfortunately read The Black Company Trilogy after the Erikson novels and felt that it was too similar to what I had been reading. I think Cook could almost sue for copyright breach tbh.<br />Anyway keep up the excellent posts.Funksoul123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14512374627441568219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-10170409970018687202015-09-18T21:33:21.719+00:002015-09-18T21:33:21.719+00:00Great series of posts Adam.

Still gutted he passed away. So many of his books would make great films, hopefully it will happen sooner or later.JohnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339459282910554255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-60940802547372871902015-09-18T20:47:22.718+00:002015-09-18T20:47:22.718+00:00Ah, two of my favorites.

Leagues better than Phil Pullman, Prince of Thorns, Prince of Nothing nihilism.<br /><br />I think Cook's early work is a little more solid, the first three Black Company novels especially.<br /><br />Also +1 Mauro's comment. This is really good stuff.Mark Andrew Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067839551819472664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-86861904925765880782015-09-17T18:46:17.648+00:002015-09-17T18:46:17.648+00:00Only recently came across your blog, just wanted t...Only recently came across your blog, just wanted to say thanks.<br />Fantastic reading always, but your history of fantasy series in particular.<br />Also really happy about the frequency of your updates - not many sites that provide the same frequency and quality.<br />Looks like I've got lots of new book suggestions to check out!<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-52800417505353177202015-09-17T13:57:11.275+00:002015-09-17T13:57:11.275+00:00This Is a really stunning collection of articles, ...This Is a really stunning collection of articles, it is the first time I can see an organic view of all the book I red. Would you consider turning it in an ebook form? I would buy it!<br /><br />Also, this is an excellent buying guide, why do not you set up Amazon links to get something out of the transaction yourself?MAurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360712224447254495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-30561339178450590572015-09-17T07:10:17.466+00:002015-09-17T07:10:17.466+00:00I have read all the Black Company books in the las...I have read all the Black Company books in the last few months, and that series is simply amazing. I have heard some people complain about the last few books, but I honestly think it was pretty consistently great throughout. Surprised by how well it ended.<br /><br />Nice that you pointed out all the weird creatures in it, it made the series feel a bit more unique<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
