Yes I know, the same here, I have a huge pile of epic fantasy series on my tbr: The Dagger and the Coin, Acacia, The Broken Empire, Lightbringer, Demon Cycle, Long Price Quartet, The Stormlight Archive, Gentleman Bastard, The First Law, ... it's a never-ending list.
I thought that last 4th part in Chathrand Voyages series was published early this year (The Night of the Swarm), is there going to be another book?

Hahah My unread Fantasy list has most of those titles on there as well, except I've read Lightbringer and Stormlight Archive, and have started The Demon Cycle.

I just bought Dagger and Coin #1, and have all the books in The First Law and The Broken Empire, but all unread.

Also in To Read are Fiest's Magician series, Mazalan Book of the Fallen, all of Glenda Larke, some Jennifer Fallon, and The Godspeaker series.

Yes I have Magician, Mazalan Book of the Fallen also on my tbr.
And let's not forget: The Black Company, Liveship Traders, Cold Fire Trilogy, Sevenwaters, Chalion, Study, The Inheritance Trilogy, Abhorsen, Symphony of Ages, ... I could do this all day. :DDD

Hmmm... good point. Although this book definitely had extra of that 'what the hell is happening and who are all these people' vibe. :D I liked Game of Thrones immediately... oh and Mistborn. But you are right, books like that are rare.

The Red Wolf Conspiracy is a little bit more focused on the politics, although there are a couple of good and interesting characterizations (I especially liked the other side of ruthless and evil ship-captain when we get to read letters to his parents), but since there is a great array of characters they can not be all described into details.

I haven't read either of those yet, but I loved A Blight of Mages right off. She writes these sassy, funny characters that had me in from the first page.

I started one epic fantasy where it was about a bunch of soldiers and I had NO IDEA what was happening. I couldn't keep anyone straight as the POV went around, so I had to DNF. A name is not enough to make a large cast distinct!

I didn't read 'A Blight of Mages'. You should read Mistborn! I am tempted to add it to yours Sadie Hawkins request list. LOL Mistborn is my favorite fantasy novel with very original magic system and great characters.

Yes, I hate it when they make us remember ALL the names at once. o.O The Red Wolf Conspiracy had distinctive characters but I could not figure out WTF is happening. One second pov is hawk at the top of ship mast, then hawk is flying over the city, then you are a girl sitting in a garden watching that hawk, then you are spy-master training his students, then you are in carriage an old lady traveling somewhere, then you are deck boy on fishing ship... It just jumped all over the place and the characters started repeating well after 10%... very confusing.

Isn't Mistborn Brandon Sanderson? I really like him! He's so nice and both of his books have been fun. You should check out A Blight of Mages. Miller's so funny!

Wow. That's WAY too much. I could not handle that. I am impressed that you made it through and enjoyed it so much. I probably would have DNFed. Then again, the review schedule has made me impatient.

Yep Mistborn is Brandon Sanderson. :)
I added 'A Blight of Mages' to my tbr, so theoretically I will read it sometime. ;)

I have a rule to read at least 10% of a book before I DNF it. So 'The Red Wolf Conspiracy' managed to get me interested until then although at the beginning I was sure I will not be able to keep it up.

I hope we both read them soon. But, knowing you and your fabulous reading speed. you will probably get to it sooner than me. :D
