I finished the trilogy and I really enjoyed it. Could someone recommend similar authors or series?

Whoever recommended Night Angel's Trilogy: gently caress you.

I'm not sure if you're joking but I agree. I purchased the book and got about 50 pages into it and gave up. The writing style, plot and characters were terrible to me.

On a brighter note, I'd rather have seen HBO make The First Law trilogy instead of ASoIaF. Or maybe make a movie trilogy. The stories definitely have the characters and plot for it, although I think that poo poo might be a little too dark and depressing for Hollywood.

I wish I wasn't joking. Who the hell reads that crap. I got like 200 pages in and there have been at least 3 "I already knew. It is all part of my plan" moments. A terrible prose makes it much worse.

I did some of my own research on Authors similar in vein to Abercrombie, which I use the term Brutal Fantasy. I'd really recommend the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch it's part of the Gentleman Bastard series.


I'm thinking of writing up a thread on just "dark" fantasy realistic fantasy recommendations.

Please don't write anything ever.
