Last year was a difficult reading year for me. I tried a few things besides Sherlock Holmes and most left me a bit cold, all because I am now comparing everything to the complete Elderling series of books that I finished not too long ago. Nothing is quite as involving or as satisfying a read any more.
Although I did find this absolute gem, and I highly recommend it...
(Maybe I enjoyed it partly because there are some quite close parallels between the main character in this and Fitzchivalry Farseer?!)
I've also read the first couple of Adam Black novels and found them very, very enjoyable. Covers some very distasteful subject matter at times, but it is extremely well handled for a "new writer" who is self-published on Amazon...
That said, I'm back on the Elderling Series again. Already finished the initial Farseer Trilogy and moved onto the Liveships series. It is just as satisfying second time around.
After that I will rad the rest of the Adam Black novels and also probably read The Gap again...
Happy Reading
