    1. The Last Wish
    2. Sword of Destiny
    3. Blood of elves
    4. Time of contempt
    5. Baptism of fire
    6. Tower of Swallows
    7. Lady of the lake (probably will be available in English in 2017)

    That Neal Stephenson book shows as €1.30 on the Amazon.com hard cover page, but goes to $10.16 when I click on the Kindle version :/

    You could poke amazon customer service and claim you were too busy yesterday, so maybe they can do something? I think this is why the German version of it was cancelled, and the steam flash deals, as too many people missed them and then complained.

    Rivers of London (Dresden in London)
    Red Knight
    Lies of Locke Lamora
    Name of the Wind
    Crashing heaven
    Roboteer

    I've read those, all good.

    Twelve kings (read his other series and it was really good, unusual setting)
    Heart of granite (sounds good)
    House of shattered wings ( great reviews)
    Year of our war (it's meant to be excellent)
    Barricade


    To be honest, there doesn't seem to be a poor book among them. Although I don't like urban fantasy much and boy with a porcelain blade didn't grab me when I tried to read it.

    Thanks for that. Love the Rivers of London / Peter Grant series. The Hanging Tree is out in November.

    Cheers for the rest of the list. I'll check them out. The current Humble Bundle books offer is SF by scientists. Some of them look quite interesting.

    Already read:

    Rivers of London
    Final Empire
    The Lies of Locke Lamorra
    The Name of the Wind
    The Year of Our War
    Crashing Heaven
    Blue Remembered Earth

    All, with the exception of the last, are a good to excellent read.

    I had bought some of others previously but have yet to read (Twelve Kings - on the strength of his previous work, Luna, Glorious Angels, and Something Comes Through).

    And yet still I ended up buying:

    Stranger Tempest
    Heart of Granite
    Sharp Ends
    Obelisk
    Red Knight
    The Boy with the Porcelain Blade
    The Islanders

    In other words - I've considered half of the titles worthy! One of the best e-book sales I've seen.
