You are the second to mention the Lies of Locke Lamora, so that obviously means I should check it out.
I ended up follow up a recommendation for the series of books the video game Witcher is based on. I'm hopeful they are good and it will be interested and likely not Tolkien fantasy as the author is from Poland.
I also go a recommendation for Richard K Morgan's The Steel Remains, but with reading the description it seems very Conan or the like, which isn't quite what I'm in the mood for.
Eli Monpress had potential but it read like a Disney Channel special to me, which isn't what I wanted. I like love able rogues, but not when it's like Disney's live action TV.
Oh, I've also been meaning to mention the Kate Daniels series to you. If you haven't read it, it's an urban fantasy with romance elements, that has a lot of Russian fairy tale/folklore elements to it. I can't say anything about how accurate it is but one half of the writing team is Russian.
