Location: UK		Hmm, I feel a bit like I'm self-censoring in that previous post, trying to stick to classier works.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, Soulless by Gail Carriger and Surface Detail by Iain M Banks. I didn't mention them before because they felt like they were too much within a certain subgenre - epic fantasy, paranormal romance and space opera, respectively - and that maybe they'd only appeal to people who like that sort of thing. On the other hand, I don't like the middle one of those, and I still enjoyed the Gail Carriger, so perhaps they would work for everyone, and perhaps I shouldn't be excluding them for mildly snobbish reasons.

It's interesting that the three I listed in my previous post all won awards, whereas only one of the above was even nominated.
