Real, glad you enjoyed it mate. Mark Lawrence is pretty good too, I've read his Broken Empire books, they are excellent. and I've read the first two of the Red Queens War, luckily the library were I am was open for a bit and I also got the third out! :)

Real, Joe Abercromie is really good! I've nearly finished his first series, the name forgets me now, the First Law Trilogy I think? absolutely brilliant, and I can't wait for Rhythm of War. Have you by any chance read The Red Knight by Miles Cameron? He's a very good author and his stuff is in a similar style to Joe Abercrombie, very dark, deep characters etc.

Dan Abnett is a boss, I really like his stuff, I had some audio books by him years ago and they were fantastic.
It is probably one of my most enjoyable activities!
There is a guy on Cardiff indoor market who has a huge selection, and Sedbergh has several secondhand book shops, one in particular was very good, I forget the name but if you google Sedbergh book shops it's normally the first one that comes up. Many market towns have a stall, I know my Ex-local Market, Chorley has a decent book stall. Probably the best hidden gem I ever found was inside the Weymyss Bay Ferry and Bus Terminal. If you walk in the main entrance they have a little book shop immediately to your right. Also very close is a place called Largs with a cafe called Nadini's which does amazing breakfasts, and very good ice cream as a bonus visit ;) .

I have not read any of the latest Warhammer stuff, I think the last WH stuff I have read is Gotrex and Felix, which was very enjoyable. I did update my book list last night with some of the newer books. I'm glad GW started moving the story forward, it had pretty much been in the same state since I started following WH about 17 years ago.
I'll look for Josh Reynolds and add them to my list!
Thanks Eds, I'll definitely go look in my library once it has opened, and scour the charity shops near me to see if they have it.
{Ed001's Note - anything Dan Abnett has written is always worth a read, he is the standout for me.
I do miss scouring charity shops for books!}

I have read many fantasy series recently, and by reading the above posts, I'm sure you would all enjoy! The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson is fantastic, he's an insane writer, all his stuff is pretty good though! Patrick Rothfuss is a really good author, although hasn't released anything for awhile. James Islington is another really cracking new author. He has quite an interesting writing style. Finally two darker authors are Sam Sykes and Mark Lawrence, they write in a more visceral style.
I also second the opinions on the warhammer series! I've read loads of WH stuff over the years despite never playing the tabletop game. I really enjoyed reading the Wordbearers collection.
I have never read David Gremmel Eds! I will go to my library when it opens and look for his name.
{Ed001's Note - have you read any of the new Warhammer stuff? They have branched out into new eras and so it has some interesting concepts involved. Josh Reynolds has written some good stuff.
As for those you have suggested, I will look out for them.
As for Gemmell, start with Legend, it made his name and is probably the best of his work.}
