Hello! I love your blog, thanks for your work. Short question: have you read any reneissance fantasy? What are the best, in your opinion, and why?

I’ve read some, although it can be hard to find. The Gentleman Bastards series is clever and a lot of fun.  The Heirs of Alexandria series is ok, but I felt like characterization was starting to slip into too presentist for my tastes. Tim Powers’ Drawing of the Dark is quite good if you can put up wth his particular idiosyncracies. The Age of Unreason series was entertaining for a while, but I got bored after the first couple of books.  Dan Abnett’s Triumff is a laugh, but not to be taken seriously. And some of the better Warhammer Fantasy novels are worthwhile – I’m a fan of CL Werner and Dan Abnett’s stuff.
