re: Looking for opinions on these Fantasy Novels

just finished Brian McClellans 5 powder mage books, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. He writes like Anthony Ryan, which is a very good thing to me.

McClellan studied under Brandon Sanderson and seems to pump out books at about the same clip. The Powder Mage books are tons of fun. Need to read the most recent one still, but I dig that whole world.

Anthony Ryan also writes like crazy. Enjoyed the hell out of Raven's Shadow and have enjoyed all of Draconis Memorial, though I need to finish the last book.

These are the guys that aren't going to make big names for themselves to last the test of time, but they're damn good craftsmen who are earning good money doing what they're doing. Always look forward to their stuff.
