I got into some interesting fantasy/SF:

* The Locked Tomb Trilogy -- the first book is so good and the second and third books are good and unique.

* The Great Cities Duology (first book was stronger)

* The Paladin's Legacy (sequel series to The Deed of Paksenarrion, great to be back in that world)

* The Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett

* The Up and Under series by Deborah Baker is super whimsical

* The Redwinter Series by Ed McDonald

If you're into the genre, all of these are great (at least the ones I've read, haven't finished all the series).



If anyone else is going to read Nona, I strongly recommend you read it immediately after Harrow and immediately before Alecto. And keep a Pynchon-style notebook. Neither I nor a friend could make heads or tails of what was going on without drawing a diagram.

Gideon is amazing. Harrow is amazing. Both are good casual reads. Nona is far more demanding of the reader.


I read your comment and was like "Alecto is out!" but no, still not released.

I did find Nona difficult going, agreed. Love how the author keeps switching up styles.
