Tad Williams recommends
The Failures (2024)
(Wanderlands, book 1)
Benjamin Liar
"The Failures reminds me of so many good things, not least Stephen King's Dark Tower stories and Mervyn Peake's arch-Gothic creation, Gormenghast. I also detected undertones of China Mieville, Roger Zelazny, Ursula Le Guin, Gene Wolfe, as well as other amazing fantasy and science-fiction writers. Most importantly, though, whatever his influences might truly be, Benjamin Liar has a new and unique voice of his very own, and this book is one of the best things I've read in a long, long time."
Legacy of Kings (2011)
(Magister, book 3)
C S Friedman
"C.S. Friedman makes fantastic things-and frightening things-seem very real."
Sethra Lavode (2004)
(Khaavren Romances, book 5)
Steven Brust
"Stop. Pay attention. Steven Brust might just be America's best fantasy writer. So what are you waiting for?"
