uh hum, i already know a lot of people don't know of this great series (either because it's new or because it's a Bristish author), but now that i'm in the fantasy forum, i hope some might have read or heard of it.
what i like about this series is the amount of details (on war, quite surreal and creepy in its truest sense) the author gets into and how it (magic system among other things) differs greatly from mainstream fantasy fiction. My favourite book is 'Deathhouse Gates'. Vivid physical and emotional depiction of the refugees' long march while being attacked all the way to the last city. oh gee.. I have never seen any fantasy books that stand up to Erikson in this particular area (in which most authors just breeze through).
