The Sword and the Dragon by M.R. Mathias. i've already become an absolute fanboy of this author.
it's epic fantasy but its just so well done and flows so smoothly. i have a hard time even finding a good place to stop, it's one of those look at the clock "oh, just one more chapter before i go to bed" books. i feel like a kid again when i'm reading this.
it's a great pg-13 fantasy. there's definitely adult situations and gore but they're not the focus of what the author was going for, they simply make sense in context. there's a quick love scene that despite not being very graphic, is sexier than any erotica i've read. the violence is quick and gory but not slobbered over.
i'm sure hardcore fantasy fans would end up feeling "meh" but to me it feels like a revelation compared to the fantasy i've read.
