re: #63 The Ghost of a Flea

Then I’ll expand and say: I wouldn’t. There’s a couple of nice ideas (the magic system) and a few characters with charm, but it’s bloated, borrows a lot of ideas from other epic sci-fi/fantasy, and its subplots don’t have the vigor of the ones in SoF&I (which are still getting a bit far-strung)

Right now my go-to recommendation is The City & The City by China Mieville, but if you’re specifically looking for fantasy you might want to try Perdido Street Station.

Go with the Horus Heresy.
