I'm really liking this one, so I'll probably try Swords Against Death, too, but thanks for the head's up.I read that a couple of weeks ago. It was really good. I'm reading Swords Against Death on the side now. I'm not sure that I'd recommend it, to be honest. It makes you appreciate how good Ill Met is, though.
What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Yeah, 16 bucks seems steep for a used mass market paperback.... 
I'm currently reading "The Good Fairies of New York" by Martin Millar. It's entertaining.

Just finished Brian Ruckley's Bloodheir.
Ruckley fans will be pleased to learn that the author delivers once again in this second volume of The Godless World trilogy. Hence, if you enjoyed Winterbirth, chances are that you won't be disappointed by Bloodheir. By the same token, if you were put off by the first volume, its successor follows the various storylines with the same style and tone. Thus, it is unlikely that such readers will fancy Ruckley's latest.
As the middle book in a trilogy, Bloodheir serves to fill the gap between Winterbirth and the final installment. As such, there isn't much in terms of resolution. Nonetheless, the storylines progress nicely, and after a few twist and turns this novel sets the stage for what should be an excellent finale.
Bloodheir is a worthy sequel to Winterbirth and a very good read in its own right. Without the shadow of a doubt, it should be one of the fantasy books to read in 2008.
Check the blog for the full review!

I'm nearly at the end of Meiville's The Scar and I'm so damned mad I didn't read it before Pantheon 2! It's got some wonderful ideas that a god of the seas coud've used!
'Piseas'?(I think) Sentient whirlpools! Wow!

So far, Avatar has not steered me wrong with any book recomendation.
At all...

StoneMaybe is right...they're mind-warping. Sift the wheat from the chaff and there's some very interesting ideas...I wouldn't be surprised if Hyperception liked them, (assuming he hasn't read them already.)Anyway, I'm reading Brass Man by Neal Asher...sadly I haven't read the two previous books whose storylines are interwoven here.
