All of Bradley P. Beaulieu's output are currently just £0.77 a piece on Amazon.co.uk ($1 on the US).
His series is "The Lays of Anuskaya" and I've read the first two of the trilogy. I was very close to reading the third so it's great timing. It's a refreshing fantasy fusing Russian culture with elements of Arabian elementals and is quite unique. Absolute bargain at this price - at the very least people owe themselves a look at the first book.

Could you put up a reading order please? I'd rather not google it in case I see spoilers.

He's only got one series so far:

The Lays of Anuskaya:

1) The Winds of Khalakovo
2) The Straits of Galahesh
3) The Flames of Shadam Khoreh

I know a couple of other people here have read some of these too.
I've read a lot of fantasy so, for me, it was good to see a different bit of world building away from standard Western Europe and even the more recent Asian-drawn settings.

Cheers, ixoy. I don't think £2.31 is bad at all for 3 books so I'll give it a go sometime soon.

I second the motion that we all download this series. If the trilogy keeps up the quality of the first book we are all in for treat.
The setting is neither a European forest nor an Arabic desert and so is a bit different from most fantasy output.
The author also needs to be supported as it's criminal that the books didn't get much sales when you look at the likes of Sanderson, Brett and Erikson outselling him.

Is it a little 'e'?

For those of you with a Kindle (and US account I think) Terry Goodkind's second book in the Sword of Truth series is available for free from Amazon here.

Feel free to use this for any other bargain eBooks you find!

Thanks for the heads up, but it's overpriced at free.

Cheers ioxy, I was considering buying a few from a new author for me so this works perfectly.

Some good bargains:

* Each book of Peter F. Hamilton's excellent Void trilogy is going for about £1 each on amazon.co.uk. It's one of my favourite sci-fi trilogies and a must if you're going to read his latest.

* Neal Stephenson's Anathem is going for £0.99. I enjoyed this one as much as any of his works (which is saying a lot). Superb value.

Read a couple of the above:

Terah Edun - Blades Of Magic
As an unstoppable war breaks out, a young girl enlists to find out the secrets that everyone is trying to hide.

First one is very YA and more than a little bit Mary Sueish, but on the other hand it was a nice easy read after The Grim Company Ends on a cliff hanger. Not pushed about the next one but I probably would read if it was in front of me.

K.J. Colt - Concealed Power
Adenine has been quarantined for being the last carrier of a plague that killed thousands, but when trouble strikes, she is forced to leave her sanctuary and enter a world full of secrets, enemies, and plots.

This one seems to be YA too - hoping some of the later books are not so. Pretty depressing stuff at the start of this, and heads-up on a trigger warning for sexual abuse. Doesn't pick up and get positive any time soon after that, I think I'll give up on it.

Hoping the next few are less YA focused.

I mentioned this one the reading thread: Ren of Atikala, a fantasy from a new author which seems interesting as it's from the POV of a kobold, normally the redshirt cannon fodder of the fantasy world.

It's currently $0.00 on Kindle US: http://www.amazon.com/Ren-Atikala-Kobolds-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00EZ4CEO2

Ann Leckie's "Ancillary Justice" is £0.99 on Amazon UK today. The novel won an insane amount of awards and the other two books are out. For that price you can judge if the hype is deserved.
