I finished the rest of The Black Company series by Glen Cook, consisting of Shadow Games, Dreams of Steel, The Silver Spike, Bleak Seasons, She is the Darkness, Water Sleeps, and Soldiers Live.
Great great series, I can't say enough about The Black Company books. The ending to Soldiers Live is perfect.
I also finished Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson. Book 1 & 2 were really good, book 3 was long winded and overall pretty poor, and book 4 was excellent. It was probably the weakest overall book in the series because of such a weak and repetitive book 3. At 923 pages long, it could have been chopped down to a great 600-700 pages by removing a lot of the internal philosophical discussions of each character.
I got the book from the Book Depository in the UK, they offer free shipping to the U.S. The prices are way better than amazon.co.uk when you include shipping charges. They don't do pre-orders so the discounted price is only shown after they get the books. This is the third book I have ordered from them and delivery is pretty fast at around 1 week from ordering.
