The Steel Remains (A Land Fit for Heroes, #1)
by Richard K. Morgan
by Richard K. Morgan
Richard K. Morgan has brought his unique brand of politics, amazing world-building, graphic violence and even more graphic sex to the fantasy genre and nails it.
This is the first book in a trilogy but it ends in a way that makes it a satisfying book all on its own. I dig that. I'm done with Dark Tower cliff-hangers. When I put down this book, I was hungry for another but satisfied with where I was left.
And when I say I'm in, I mean that as soon as the book is released, as this one was, a few months earlier in England, I will jump on amazon.com/uk or ask my cousin to pick it up for me.
Sidenote: Thank you, Jocelyn for sending the book to me.
If swords & sorcery, half-breed immortals, capricious gods, imperial politicking, evil slave-traders, creatures from an otherworld and a kick-ass gay swordsman of Omar-like proportions sound like fun to you, pick it up and read it.
As Omar Little from The Wire would say, "Oh, indeed."

Wow, I'll have to add this to my short list. A question, though. I notice this got four stars; what would merit five?

The line between 4 and 5 stars is pretty damned thin. In the context of the complete trilogy, this book might be elevated to 5.Generally, 5 stars are flat-out classics, in my mind, that demand re-reading.
