Cool. Let me know what you think.
I was rather impressed myself, since my expectations were low.
The best however is that it's a finished series.
There are more books set in the same universe though.

I don't usually buy the book, but rather sit there and read it. If it's really good, I'll buy it with my credit card, then return it for a full refund when I'm done reading

Seriously? lol I bought a few books a few weeks ago and came home to see that I already owned one of the books. Its sitting on the shelf next to the other one b/c I felt odd returning it. LOL
DeletedUser
LOL true
The only sucky thing about that is if you dont live in a big town, you may have to wait for some books to be brought back or for them to get it shipped in from another library DeletedUser
Love it as well, and was impressed with the fact that there were no sacred cows and absolutely anyone could be killed off, but he's overdone it a bit. I'd probably agree with you on favorite series, but I just finished a new contender: K.J. Parker's Engineer Trilogy.

I might have came by that one while browsing the fantasy section. Is that the one where he is some kind of shamed engineer, but he is still being asked to design how to defend a city from a siege?
DeletedUser
Yeah, that's book one. It might be the most original fantasy novel/series I've ever read. A few months ago I read a book by Stan Nicholls' called The Covenant Rising, which was the first book in a trilogy. One of the little blurbs made a big deal of the fact that it was written with "modern dialogue", I assume instead of the sort of pseudo Middle English of a lot of fantasy novels, but it just came off as being horribly written and anachronistic. It was so bad I had no interest in reading the rest of the trilogy, or his Orcs, which was critically acclaimed, possibly even deservingly so. The style of this series was similar, but executed so much better.
DeletedUser
Did you see the time travelers wife? I heard the movie left out most of the book. Which is why I rarely go see movies made from books b/c I get mad when they leave the good stuff out
DeletedUser
Yeah, I got the hunch it was a good book from the short summary on the back, but I couldn't find it the next time it was there. Will definitely give it a try now.
DeletedUser
I keep forgetting...I wanted to put the quote that opens all three books in my sig. Doing it now.

So I started the first book in the Engineer trilogy. So far, it's been a fantastic reading(100 pages into the first book). Valense and Ziani are fascinating character(already!). Anyway, will probably continue reading it tomorrow.
DeletedUser
Cool...I hope you like it.

Hmm perhaps I should check it out as well
But first I got more Hemingway to read
