What's between them is definitely better, however... if not quite on the level of utter awesomesauce I'm used to from Daniel Abraham.<br /><br />But oh, for a new Charlie Huston novel! Way back when I started TSS, I fell head over heels for Sleepless. I think I might just look up the Joe Pitt books while I'm waiting for Voyager to put out an edition of Sandman Slim.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks and thanks again for the recommendations, Severian. I've got my work cut out now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-53502340593055268472011-12-31T21:35:23.330+00:002011-12-31T21:35:23.330+00:00You should definitely give Mike Carey and Kate Gri...You should definitely give Mike Carey and Kate Griffin a shot. Some other favourites of mine are Liz Williams, Charles de Lint, Charlie Huston and Seanan McGuire. I think you've actually reviewed a couple of books by Huston and McGuire (as Mira Grant), though not their UF series. I've also heard good things about Stina Leichts' debut, but haven't had the time to read it yet.<br /><br />The Sandman books are great fun, but I haven't read MLN Hanover yet. I'm a huge Abraham fanboy, but whenever I see those covers I still manage to lose all interest...Severianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891697893825243201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-15857977525991344892011-12-31T17:54:17.775+00:002011-12-31T17:54:17.775+00:00@Severian - I hear good, good things about Richard...@Severian - I hear good, good things about Richard Kadrey and the Sandman Slim series. That's next on my hit-list of urban fantasy franchises... and I'm reading - and very much enjoying - the first MLN Hanover right now because of the Daniel Abraham connection.<br /><br />So yes: A Good Year for 'em. And I'm all ears at the moment. What UF would you recommend I read next?<br /><br />Happy new year, you... And fantasynibbles too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-76777306797961198962011-12-31T17:48:45.287+00:002011-12-31T17:48:45.287+00:00Loved both books and can't wait for the third ...Loved both books and can't wait for the third to come out. <br />I've actually done a lot of UF reading this year and was surprised to find a couple of really great series, this being one of them. You have to go through a lot of crap to get to the good stuff, though...Severianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891697893825243201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-54900901925474498482011-12-31T13:08:46.904+00:002011-12-31T13:08:46.904+00:00Hmmm, OneClicking this one right now :)Hmmm, OneClicking this one right now :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
