I'm addicted to those books. Can't wait for the 12th to be released. I was talking to Rand Al Thor (ingame name) and had a good chat on what we thought would be in it.

Another interesting point: Red Eagle Entertainment have the rights to wheel of time now...and are looking to make a film series/animated series of it. RJ wants the film apparently!

Re: Fantasy Recommendations

Reviving an old topic...not sure if this has been mentioned but Robert Jordan recently passed away, so his wife will be finishing his final novel. He got all his notes together in preparation so it should hopefully still remain a good read.

Re: Fantasy Recommendations

Not a huge fan of Feist I am very So, So with his books. Magician was very good though.,

Gemmell...... Well he is a god.

Joe Abercrombie, read "The Blade itself" on a recommendation from a friend, well he lent me the book and said read this, rules. Just Finished "Before they are hanged" the second book,.... Need a new one.

And anyone heard any news about G.R.R.M.? is he actually releasing Dance with Dragons, or just trying to tease us.
