Дес, два цента и от мен (a.k.a. най-големия фен на „Малазанската книга“ на Ериксън в цяла ЧоБи ;) ): Не съм чел книгите на Есълмонт, понеже след Ериксън се отказах да чета епично фентъзи поне още 7-8 години – за мен Ериксън вдигна левъла на целия жанр , сега чакам да се появи автор, който да надмине ...

Did anyone ever tell you English word order is strictly fixed? And you can almost never have verb before subject in a non-interrogation? To the south lay, like a boundary line between lands, the dark line of a vast forest. (...) It was a cut jewel the size of his palm, and through it flowed, as he ...
