Thanks to everyone who submitted reading suggestions last week. From the entries, I've added the following to the top of my reading list:
The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Traci HickmanSuggested by Thomas Burkett.This heptalogy of fantasy novels follows the conflict between two powerful races. From Burkett's suggestion: "A tale of greed, corruption, faith and redemption...there was no clear delineation of good and evil."
Hell by Yasutaka TsutsuiSuggested by Lixian Ng.From the author who wrote the novel that inspired the famed anime classic
Paprika. However, from Ng's description (not to mention the title of the work itself),
Hell sounds like a much darker tale. "
Hell is a very short and fast-paced novel. It's more of a paranormal-fantasy type of book...the characters end up in a [sort of] purgatory. It [gets] pretty violent and gross sometimes, but it's light [at others] and maybe even a bit touching..."
Thanks again for all the suggestions. You can follow my complete reading list and reviews on Goodreads.
