People kind of hype that part up since GoT is rather simplistic which is always the direct comparison for some reason. You literally just read book 1 through to 10 in order. Some plot lines you only see come to fruition in later books and some segments may seem out of place until you see the whole picture later. Second Lies of locke Lamora.

Makes me salty just thinking about it.. yeah, author was in a bad place after divorce. the next book has been delayed several times, but should be coming out in a couple months i believe. also, it's got some great quotes (in spoilers not because of spoilers but b/c they're epic and it's great to read them in context: + Show Spoiler + “Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.” “Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.” “... It's perfect! Locke would appreciate it." "Bug," Calo said, "Locke is our brother and our love for him knows no bounds. But the four most fatal words in the Therin language are 'Locke would appreciate it.'" "Rivalled only by 'Locke taught me a new trick,'" added Galo. "The only person who gets away with Locke Lamora games ..." "... is Locke ..." "... because we think the gods are saving him up for a really big death. Something with knives and hot irons ..." "... and fifty thousand cheering spectators.” “I cut off his fingers to get him to talk, and when he'd confessed everything I wanted to hear, I had his fucking tongue cut out, and the stump cauterized." Everyone in the room stared at him. "I called him an asshole, too," said Locke. "He didn't like that.” “I can't wait to have words with the Gray King when this shit is all finished," Locke whispered. "There's a few things I want to ask him. Philosophical questions. Like, 'How does it feel to be dangled out a window by a rope tied around your balls, motherfucker?” “Throwing blondes at Locke Lamora was not unlike throwing lettuce at sharks.” | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Book 3 spoilers] + Yea I got that feeling of the divorce messing with him while reading the book. So much character progression, so much going right then just as you finally think things will move on NOPE FUCK YOU EVERYONE UNHAPPY. Really pissed me off. Even the plot of the book was very thing, just felt like it was all about their relationship instead of any grand heist like the previous books. I didn't mind the more character focus, he always had a bit but man all that without any payoff was frustrating. Book series need some happy moments in them dammit. | ||

Kinda wish I had a day off so I could spend some time talking with the friend who recommended Kingkiller and First Law without waiting for the weekend...curse the different shifts we work  Its such an amazing epic. its not easy to digest but its worth it for sure. I just read book 1 - 10 in order and enjoyed it. for an alternet suggestion i enjoyed the codex alera by jim butcher (he wrote dresden files) or mistborn if you havnt read it yet (fun magic and brandon sanderson is the guy that finished the wheel of time) I'm trying to remember the title of an old book series I read a while ago, three books, an old grumpy man who has a deteriorating disease iirc teleports to a fantasy world every book but ends up back on modern earth at the end of each. I remember an ogier type thing that sang to make a boat move and him getting super severe frost bite in one of the books.... I cant remember much else. It was dark as fuck tho... | ||

I don't know if I can read another book where more bad stuff happens to them continually without any light. Also enjoyed David Eddings but after awhile his role of non-Pol women got a bit much. | ||

I liked the way they streamlined talents and stuff in WoD, and it sounds like they just made it better Talents are interesting. The core of each spec feels very solid, but you can really change your specific rotation/playstyle by a measurable amount depending on your choices. There are a lot of picks between passive effect/active ability/random proc and each one feels like it fits the spec, but makes you operate a bit differently. Of course, there's always "best picks" for Talents, but honestly I'm not worried about that unless I start going srsmode on Mythic+ dungeons. Man I want to play... but tonight is Iris and this week is the busiest I've been at work in a while plus also there's those weekend plans. | ||

The various "series" are all written a bit differently, so if you don't like one then you may like another. For instance, the Guard books are pretty urban-fantasy but more mystery/politics than than straight fantasy, while the Witch books are all pretty standard fantasy tropes and literary jokes. Also if you tried to read the old books, especially Color of Magic or Light Fantastic... well let's just say they've not aged well. | ||

Also will always recommend way of the wind etc, fantastic books and exceptionally narrated on audible if you're into that kind of thing. | ||
