[Dragaera] Reading series

[Margaret Young]

I am not particulary familiar with Erikson's work — is his style
similar to either Brust or Herbert? Is he more charactger driven or does
he focus on world creation?

That's why I'm reading (and re-reading) Steven Erikson; he's shown
himself to be better at keeping control of a huge, EPIC story than
Robert Jordan or George RR Martin managed.  (He's also a faster 
writer.)
