Just finished the first book in the "Prince of Nothing" trilogy by R. Scott Bakker, "The Darkness that comes before", based on the recommendations in this thread, and all I can say is that it was absolutely fantastic
The plot and storyline is on par with anything published today, but what made me enjoy this book the most was the fact that every single point of view was equally enjoyable to read. In most books you warm up to one or two of the main characters, but every single chapter in this book was enjoyable.
Bakker has some philosophical rants every now and then, but they were mostly enjoyable as well as it suited the story.
Definitely recommendable!
