Not that Robert Jordan's characters are anywhere as good as Martin's are, but Erikson's seemed completely cardboard to me. YMMV. Last edited by Sirtel; 08-25-2020 at 02:11 PM. |

Erikson's series is not an easy read, but what hooked me was he left you wondering what is going on and you only find out in the 2nd to last book if I remember correctly. Sorry not very eloquent in my typing but to me it's just very cleverly written. The funny thing is, it was originally writing as a tv series but nobody wanted to produce it.

Agree, but will say this, to me it was not about the individual characters, as the 2 new gods where preparing and collecting people for a team to complete a task. Definitely not a predictable series.

But only one of those was a Dark Tower novel.

Yeah but it’s a bit of a journey to get to where you know that without being told by someone.
