That's exactly how I'd rank it as well.
I'm currently reading Teresa Frohock's
Miserere. A strange, alternate reality, magical/religious, almost—but not quite—horror/fantasy thingy. It took me until about the one/third mark to commit, but I'm starting to be glad I did. It's probably not going to win any awards, but the author definitely has a way (at times) of inspiring some very creepy, goose-pimply imagery in my head. I like someone who manages to do that. Definitely someone I'll look for more books from in the future.
I have Paul Kearney's
Corvus on deck. It's the sequel to
The Ten Thousand (a fictional retelling of Xenophon's
Anabasis). Although not really
directly based on anything, the character of Corvus in this second installment of his Macht Trilogy is purported to have been markedly influenced by the historical figure of Alexander the Great. The final installment (
Kings of Morning) looks like it's due to be released very soon(ish). So I'm trying to time the finish of this one to coincide with the new one's release.
