Hal Duncan- Vellum & Ink, his writing style is somewhat like Neal Stephenson in that it is complexly dense and requires both concentration and re-reading to catch all of his meanings.

If you're looking for something you can skim and not think about, read Eddings*; Duncan's writing is thoughtful and worth spending the time to understand.


*I'm not saying that to be harsh on Eddings, simply to differentiate the 2 types of writing. My wife and step-daughter read in that style often, and I think it's an excellent style for younger readers to read their first longer novels in.
