Re: If you haven't read...
Joe Abercrombie is awesome!
I would like to put in my own two cents if that is okay.
A little list of the fav.writers in my collection:
Brent Weeks: Night Angel triology is a must for anyone liking thieves, assasins and badass attitude!
Naomi Novik: Made a peculiar series about the english/french "napoleon" wars in the 1800's - Nelsons fleet and the english/french companies of DRAGONS as the aerial corps...yup you read it correctly - she plunked dragons into history and it works extremely well.
Richard A Knaak: WoW stories about Rhonin and Krasus are great!
We all love and adore the FR stuff in here so I don't have to mention R.A.Salvatore, Ed Greenwood and the tons of other writers in the FR realms eh?
My absolute favourite though has to be Patrick Rothfuss and his Kingkiller Triology: only the first two books are out but they're epic in any sense i can find.
