Anything by McCollough is good.

[quote=""EC2""]I loved Vainglory, but you might need to be in Dorothy Dunnett mode to give it a full appreciation. It's crossover literary.
I read the middle of the PGE trilogy and wasn't keen, but I know a lot of readers loved the series. I haven't read/been near reading any of the others - sorry![/quote]

I had no idea Vainglory was a crossover. :( I haven't tried to concept and don't think I would like it either. Ah well have to give it a go since I have the book.
Finished The innocent, I enjoyed it while I was reading it but now that I finished it I'm not sure what to think.

I read The Innocent and really liked it. If I remember correctly it was the first of a trilogy but the others were just ok.

You do remember correctly. :) I might pick up the second one today since I'm on a roll.
