Any and All Fantasy Fiction Book Discussion

[Greg]

I've recently started (and finished) Markus Heitz's "The Dwarves", which is absolutely awesome. Not set in Middle Earth, but it's based around Tolkien and modern fantasy's standard of the Dwarf. He decided that it was their turn for the limelight. I'd be among the first to point out that The Hobbit is very much a dwarf-based adventure, but the fact of the matter is, this one is still absolutely awesome.

The sequel, The War of the Dwarves, is bloody brilliant as well, though I'm not very far into it yet. Quite entertaining. The first one actually takes a short while to explain some kit possibilities as well...go pick up at least the first if you haven't had a chance to already!

I'm currently reading The Dwarves and it's damned good reading.

Even the COVER just reeks of awesome. The cover for the second is, for lack of a better term, dwarf-tastic.

[Eledhwen]

Total awesomesauce, yep.

So you're saying it's on your short-list of reading material?

GROAN!

Got a copy on watch; looking forward to it!

I fought tooth and nail to get a copy...you might say that copies are in "short" supply.

[Faolan]

So your saying that all other books on the subject will be "dwarfed" by comparison?

I will add the books to my list and will be picking them up soon.

This is a book one shouldn't look down upon or belittle

[Greg]

At ~750 pages, one could hardly find the means to cut short the reading...

[Faolan]

I think we're forging a great thread here!

[Greg]

Indeed, the smell of greatness may have even wafted down to the 4-foot level and below!

[David]

You wouldn't want to keep a book this great on the underground

[Greg]

Nay! One could hardly manage to with how stubborn and reluctant the book was to let me put it down...
