Looking for some new Sci/Fi or Fantasy novels.

You guys need to check out Patrick Rothfuss

 

I really enjoyed The name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fears in the King Killer Trilogy.

 

FYI they've sold the rights to the series to TV... I just found out a while back that the news came out this summer... Can't wait to see what becomes of it.

thats great - I just wish that all these authors would finish the books before turning it into a TV series.

For fans of Hugh Howey's Wool and other works, his latest work Sand is a great read so far... I'm only 100 or so pages from finishing it, but it's as good as Wool if not better...

I also got the Dust and Shift collections that I plan on reading next...

I just finished reading A Game of Thrones. It was a great change of pace after Jordan and Goodkind for sure.

If you haven't read the Kingkiller Chronicles (by Patrick Rothfuss - titled The Name of the Wind, The Wise Man's Fear) you ought to check them out too.

It was four years ago but Bova is still putting out great books

Because of a book?

Not going back through the thread but has anyone read any of The Beyonders series? By Brandon Mull.

I just picked it up the first book and just started it. Just wanted some opinions.

I'm not sure if she's been mentioned already, but I would very much recommend Ursula K. LeGuin, especially 'Left Hand of Darkness'

Almost finished with ADWD, then I can stop hiding from the internet/spoilers and hang out with the cool kids again.

 

 

I've been wondering what to dig into next, I'll check those out.

I'm currently reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch... Only about 60 pages in but I'm digging it so far... GRRM has a blurb on the cover praising it, and I've heard good reviews of it...

Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archives series is pretty legit. Started reading him after he finished the wheel of time. He did a better job than Jordan did after he figured the characters out imo. Only two books out so far but they are worth the read.

Just finished this book.

Highly recommended! Can't wait to start the next book by Lynch.

Finished up the Beyonders series about a month ago.  I just happen to pick it up on a whim at Costco, and I had never heard of them before, but I like fantasy fiction so decided WTF.

 

 It was meh.  It was a young adult book (which I didn't realize), so was an easy read .  The overall story was pretty decent, or maybe even good, plus Brandon Mull has an amazing imagination.  But, the dialogue was extremely sophomoric and cheesy as was the overall writing.  But then again, that is what you get with YA novels.  The lines of good and evil are clearly drawn in the story, and therefore there was only one character that was truly intriguing because he was the only grey character in the books, and you were never sure where his loyalties were.  Wouldn't really recommend it for anyone on here who seem to like more mature books, but there are certainly worse book series out there.  I didn't love them, but then again I read all 3 books so....

 

Today I got the FIrst Law trilogy written by Joe Abercrombie.  Going to start "The Blade Itself" today.  I think a couple people have said that they have read this trilogy, I was wondering what people thought of it.  Online reviews seem mostly positive.  I will give my opinion (not that it matters, but whatevs) once I complete the trilogy!!
