Some Good Books to read (Fantasy Novels)

This is the one that I was thinking about. This is a great book, and has the same main characters running around as Night Watch. If you are going to enter the land of Terry Pratchett, not a bad way to start.

If you buy the books off Amazon, by using these image links, I credit for the sales.




I mentioned this Terry Pratchett book, but really it this one comes after Guards! Guards! and it would be better to start with Guards! Guards!, and then read this one
later.




Soul Music begins the books with my favorite character of Terry Pratchett, Susan; Death's Grand Daughter. In fact Susan is probably responsible for my character
Elaine, in the Shadow Dance series; Scarred Lands. Though the two characters are different in many aspects, their personalities certainly do have crossing points (mostly in the bones area).

Again, with this book, you really don't need to know anything about Disc World to enjoy it, but if you have already read Guards! Guards!, then you will enjoy it a bit more.



I have discovered two other books (by the same author "Scott Lynch") which are great fantasy books as well.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

Welcome to the world of Scott Lynch, a writer who appears not to be well known at the moment, but that is sure to change. It has been years since I've read a fantasy
novel that really captured both my interest as a fantasy enthusiast and as a writer. Scott Lynch has an amazing style of writing, and a truly fresh means of telling a story. Well worth the trip into his world. Read the Excerpt on my web site and decide for yourself.

Red Seas Under Red Skies

The Gentlemen Bastards are finally back in Scott Lynch's new novel Red Seas Under Red Skies. Locke and Jean decide that depression and longing for times past is just not making it, and set out to take on the biggest, most deadly target they can come up with, which in true Lamora fashion turns out to be fairly
accurate, especially the deadly part.

Scott Lynch certainly succeeds in creating a novel that meets any expectation built up from his first fantasy novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, and in my personal view, exceeds them.

I have several web sites, which I post all kinds of stuff on.
