7. Prince of Thorns (The Broken Empire #1) by Mark Lawrence (Review here)
8. Slow Regard Of Silent Things (Kingkiller Chronicle #2.5) by Patrick Rothfuss (Review here)
Eh, that makes eight, not ten. I’ve been busy with my own writing and moved to a different apartment, as as result I haven’t been able to read as much as I’d like to.

Great list! I started reading The Blade Itself while I was at uni and then I got distracted by something (an essay, no doubt) and I didn’t pick it up again. I really need to try reading it again because I remember really enjoying what I read!

Great picks! 🙂
Have only read the first part of Broken Empire but it was good, something violent and it brought something new to fantasy genre. Patrick Rothfuss is gift to the world haha. Fae I haven’t read but I trust your taste here XD (to tbr list it goes…)

Great list, lots of epic fantasy.
The color of the links kind of gets lost in the color of that background.

Thank you! I wrote spoiler-free reviews for both of the Rothfuss books. I read them in less than 2 weeks, they are really that good!

They are both great reads. One dark, one whimsical, both with superb prose. It gets better and better with the next books, see the reviews I wrote 🙂

Wow, I wish I could read that fast but my writing schedule and day job aren’t really allowing it. It takes me a week to finish a book, sometimes even two weeks.

Looks like you read literary fiction and no genre fiction, so I think you might like The Broken Empire by Mark Lawrence, that’s the one thing from that list literary fiction lovers would enjoy. It’s deep, dark, featuring a heavily damaged sociopathic protagonist. The other thing you might like is The First Law trilogy, it’s worth reading for that Sand dan Glokta character alone. Both series have superb characters.
