If you love quest fantasy with gritty characters that feels a bit like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I think you will enjoy The Devils by @joeabercrombie.com

One small note on Wind and Truth. Sanderson seems to be using a bit more crass language than in his other books. Which IMO is unfortunate and unnecessary as many have been attracted to Sanderson due to his mostly clean content. Nothing R rated, just a bit more than usual.

Starting The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell who was one of my favorite authors last year with Warlord Chronicles!

I’ve just read perhaps my favorite chapter in The Realm of The Elderlings so far. It was full of some of the most beautiful writing I’ve encountered. It was chapter 6 of Fool’s Fate titled, Voyage of Dreams. I can’t say more than that because of spoilers but it was so good!

Here are my most read authors for the year. I wish Robin Hobb was higher but got sidetracked from my RotE read earlier this year.

I’m not usually one to experience a book slump but Brando Sando has caused one for me. I can hardly look at a book. 😕

I’ve just started Part 4 in The Hero of Ages. I’ve got to say, most of Sanderson’s female characters across his books tend to blend for me almost like they are cookie cutter models, but Vin stands out for me among his characters. He did a really good job with her.

Does following authors on Amazon do anything to boost or help them along? I’m just curious. I generally follow authors on there wasn’t sure how it benefits.

If Nat Cassidy isn’t already on your horror author radar, he should be!
Do these introduction-y posts do anything? I guess we shall see! Hi, new followers and/or The Curious: I write spookyangry horrorbooks like MARY, NESTLINGS, REST STOP, and the upcoming WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME. I've also maybe appeared as a scumbag on your favorite crime procedural TV show!
