Author thoughts

While IMing with Erik, my list of favorite series authors started to jell.

My top three (in no particular order):

- Jim Butcher ("The Dresden Files" and "The Codex Alera")
- George R.R. Martin ("A Song of Ice and Fire")
- Patrick Rothfuss ("Kingslayer Chronicle")

Then:
- Steven Erikson ("The Malazan Book of the Fallen")
- Scott Lynch ("The Gentlemen Bastards")
- Joe Abercrombie ("The First Law")
- Patricia Briggs ("Mercedes Thompson")

I'm okay with Kim Harrison's "Rachel Morgan" series, but in comparison with the others, it's not really all that.
