Working my way through Red Sister by Mark Lawrence. My first try of him and I gotta say I'll be checking out the rest of his work. His rep made him sound too uber-grimdark for me, but that was wrong. It's dark, sure, but hardly breaking the Abercrombie scale. And it's just so, so well written.
Slow progress with it, though. In the middle of a house move and looking after my extremely pregnant gf + juggling work around her and the other kids has pushed reading time right down the priority list, sadly.
