The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble's Braids

If there is one book to read from the list, then hands down I point you to The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble's Braids - which stands out as one of the best indie fantasy books out there. A solidly impressive debut.This is one of those indie fantasy books that does not read like the normal self pub fantasy. It's every big as good as a traditionally published book, and even better than many. In fact, it seems even publishers agree (this book was picked up to be published by Ragnarok Publications). So technically the book is now a hybrid published -- both indie and traditional -- but we'll still list it here as self-published since it was recently such.So why read it?Well besides it deliver a rip-roaring tale you can't put down, the plotting is strong, the characters well drawn, and the writing sharp. In many ways, it's a thief meets sword & sorcery tale that's similar to the Night Angel series by Brent Weeks, Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick, and the Shadowdance series by David Dalglish.Recently, this book won Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off Contest -- beating out the other ten books on the list. And a read through the book makes it pretty clear why it won the competition: it's damn good. And with a nearly perfect rating on Amazon (though if you've read some of my Amazon review expose posts, you'll know how trustworthy those are. You can buy a positive review for under 10 bucks), at least a few other people agree with me here and find it a pretty damn good read. So if you are looking for one of the best, if not the best, indie fantasy book out there right now, The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble's Braids is near the top.With the first book in the series prices at only .99c and the other two books in the series costing a couple bucks each, there is no reason you shouldn't pick this one up. It's a telling example of indie fantasy doing all the things right.Read it to see exactly some of the best self published fantasy that can go toe to toe with any fantasy published the traditional way.
