Reddit reviews The Broken Empire (3 Book Series)

Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire series rates a recommendation. High fantasy setting with good world building, dialogue, and a very well constructed main character. It can tend toward the macabre, and the humor often comes off color. However, it's a solid read.

Sebastien De Castell's The Greatcoats finishes this year with its fourth novel. Swashbuckling, adventure sort of book in a fantasy type Europe. Genuinely good character development, excellent action sequences, and hearty doses of comedy to alleviate serious passages.
