Finished Empire of the Vampire trilogy. Loved it. Sex scenes were a bit much sometimes but it every book was great.
Finished the series last night. I have… very mixed feelings

Just finished Low Town by Daniel Polansky and have started the second on the series. Excellent noir grimdark novel. Fans of Abercrombie, Thieve’s World, etc… will enjoy. Not sure I’ve seen it recommended in this thread yet.

I can see the ending leaving mixed feelings. Saw a small hint early on but didn’t expect the full end. I liked it just fine but can see why one wouldn’t.

Without going into spoilery detail, I certainly saw the ending coming. I don’t even mind the scope in a vacuum. My objection comes to specific facets which… cause problems. But anyway, start a spoiler thread and we can chat about it

Finished the Low Town trilogy by Dnaiel Polansky last night. I'm really surprised, with this board's love of grimdark, that this series hasn't gotten more hype/love in this thread. Highly recommend for those who like Abercrombie, Cook, etc.. I think I read all three books in about 5 days.
Also read The Price of Fear by Miles Lyon prior to that, which was also really enjoyable Grimdark. Sadly, I thought the trilogy (called the Wretched Trilogy) was already finished prior to reading this one only to discover that only this first book has been completed (breaking my soft rule of not starting incomplete series except in rare circumstances of authors I really love).
