Mike Williams just finished Stephen King’s Dark Tower series and says it is “possibly the best modern fantasy epic I’ve read”. That seems high praise.
Now that he’s got some reading time on his hands I wanted to suggest my personal favorite modern fantasy novel: The Deeds Of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon.
But his comments don’t seem to be working, so I’m going to trackback ping instead.
Update: Amazon has a “Better Together” buy for this book with Divided Allegiance. Which is stupid because Deeds is and omnibus edition that includes Divided Allegiance. Duh.
I really enjoyed The Deed of Paksennarion, but I found the middle book was a bit too much "my third-level wizard defeats your second-level ogre" D&D. Moon creates a hell of a heroine in Paks, though. The conclusion was well worth it.
