A Discerning Gamer's Literary Suggestions
The Blade Itself--Dieter the Bold 13:39, 29 April 2009 (MST) I just finished The Blade Itself, book 1 in a trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. It was a most interesting low-fantasy book. Magic didn't happen often, and when it did it was well placed, and it was a very realistic portrayal of characters in a feudal setting. One of the main characters used to be an aristocratic champion fencer, but was captured in a war and tortured into a twisted shell, and is now an inquisitor. Very believable characters and no punches pulled.
Edmiao cheryl just finished reading that trilogy, she liked them.
The Road -- Edmiao Posted this on the main page a few weeks ago, here again. Fantastic post apocalyptic tale, occurs something like 7 years after the hollocaust. Grippingly written page turner, quite a fast read. By Cormac McCarthy.
