I actually picked up The First Law some time ago. Was busy though so I never finished the first book and kinda forgot about it. I should probably get back to reading it, it seemed quite interesting.

Just finished reading Baptism of Fire. Not sure what I'll read next. Have Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea laying here. Might read that.

Speaking about Abercrombie... I've started reading Half a King a couple of days ago, the setup seems interesting.

And of course, GRRM is on every fantasy book cover...Italian publishers are not the exception, I see...Half a King is not yet translated to my language but I have no doubt it will be: Džordž RR Martin-"Izuzetan pisac!"...
Meh, I don't like that kind of marketing...

Well yes italian publishers have this bad habit. I agree, although I do not like such advertising. The only positive thing is the praise to the author.
By the way, the thing I don't really like is comparison between authors, that smell of hidden advertising, luckily this doesn't seem the case.

Ha, however, I wrote a similar post a couple of minutes ago about another book in another forum, coincidence. :hrhr:

Few years ago I was reading Maurice Druon's "The Iron King" and on the cover was something like GRRM-"This is the real Game of Thrones!"
I mean, wtf..."George, your GoT is not real? You are plagiarist!!??" :D

GRRM is giving praise where it's due to his inspiration, and trying to promote other writers he considers worthy of a read. I see nothing wrong with either of these things.

I agree, nothing is wrong with praising and promoting other authors...Just don't put it on book cover...It looks ugly :)

Indeed I said author's praise is the positive thing, but when publishers have to put a gigantic line on top of the cover... well if you have to, write it with a thinner font at least.

@Ljesnjanin look what I've found today... the book you mentioned earlier, with the same praise. I'm actually curious now. :rofl:

Been done for more than a century. It's called blurbs, ever since Gelett Burgess attributed such praise to a certain Belinda Blurb. It's so standard in the publishing business that sensational paperbacks just wouldn't seem right without it.

"Makes you want to crawl through thirty miles of dense tropical jungle and bite somebody in the neck."

I didn't know that and well... this is actually quite funny, I will never forget this name from now on, every time I'll see a blurp!
