Book Suggestion

[Atthis]

Hi, thanks for adding another opinion.
So it sounds like this is the sort of thing to read when you're bored and crave some action. I'll keep that in mind.

The other day I was reading a review on The Night Angel trilogy and was a bit put off by the awful sounding character names. I mean "Durzo Blint", "Neph Dada" and "Solonariwan Tofusin"!!! Yuk! Somehow to my eye/ear they border on ridiculous.
I always admire authors who are able to invent names for all their characters and places that sound natural in the context of their novels. I have also found that the aptness of names is often (but not always) a good way to quickly judge the quality of a book. And, of course, I think Robin Hobb's name-inventing skills are masterful!
