Hi John, I really enjoyed The Faithful and the Fallen series and I am very much looking forward to "Wrath". I've also just finished reading Brian Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn thrown" series, which I also enjoyed. Can you tell me if there are any other "new" authors, in your genre, that you are enjoying at present? Cheers, Sam

Hi Sam,
It's great to hear that you're enjoying the series so far, and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
New authors that I've particularly enjoyed - Sebastien de Castell. Awesome musketeer-like action.
Miles Cameron - Awesome medieval war, armour-crunching action.
Mark Lawrence - not sure if you'd call him new, now, but his writing's fantastic. Ist series (Prince of Thorn's one) is pretty dark and introspective awesome. Second series (Prince of Fool's one) is more light-hearted, buddy road-movie cool. With an awesome Viking.
Not new but have to recommend anyway...
Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur series, book 1 the Winter King. One of my all time favourite series.
David Gemmell, Sword in the Storm. One of my favourite books ever.
I hope that helps. If you've read all of those, give me a shout and I'll think of some more for you :)
Best,
John

Hello, Mr. Gwynne. I'm a professional translator (and a fantasy addict to boot) and I'm translating Ruin right now. I love the book, which is bringing me back to the epic fantasy I used to translate in the Eighties (David Gemmell and David Eddings, among others). Being a pet lover (I had a Belgian Shepherd I adored and right now I'm proud to be owned by 12 cats, I wanted to ask you... does Storm really die?
