What other fantasy books do YOU read? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The thing I forgot to include in my previous post is the number of references to history, various mythology (and mythology that is evidently made up, as I can't find a parallel), linguistics, and just the breadth of it all. Man, the trilogy is vast in its cultural aspects! And the other things - as you say, Lal, there is just so much to delve into!

And when I read the first book, I thought it was full of intrigue, philosophy, and complexity. When I read the second, I realised that the first was just a little warm up. It's just mind-blowing!
