Book I'm ...
I was reading Erickson's Gardens of the Moon, but unlike RWChambers above, I thought it was horrible. After 200 pages it came across as so disjointed, so laking in focus, and just plain badly written that I had to stop reading it, and I think for good. I wanted to like it, but the plot, characters, etc, all lacked what I liked about epic fantasy. So, I dropped that and started reading China Mieville's Perdido Street Station, which is a much better read. The opening monologue itself was more satisfying than the 200 pages of GotM. Mieville's got a way with description that just draws you in. This book also reminds me a bit of Neil Gaiman.
