Cue GRRM dying out of spite

[pettycoat]

Anyone have any recommendations for lesser-known fantasy fiction? Now that Game of Thrones has crashed and burned and a proper ending to the books seems less and less likely, I've been itching to read something new. I prefer low fantasy over high fantasy and character-driven fiction over plot-driven fiction, but I'm open to just about anything, really. Graphic violence and sexual content aren't a problem so long as they aren't barely disguised masturbation fodder for the author. (Looking at you, Terry Goodkind.)

Nicholas Eames' Kings Of The Wyld, hands down. 83 I haven't finished the semi-sequel (Bloody Rose) yet, but sure, toss that on the fire also.

Also Saladin Ahmed's Throne Of The Crescent Moon.

Ooh, the first one looks like a lot of fun. Thanks! I've read some of Ahmed's short stories and loved them. Will definitely be checking out his novels!

Cracked up at the title.

Sometimes I need to laugh through the tears.

A Court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J Maas. Highly recommended.. Throne of Glass is also a good series by same author

Thanks! I've heard of Maas before, but I didn't know any of her work. Looks like my library has copies of both series, too!
