xenithSo I need some recommendations. For good fantasy, or SF even, or pretty much anything, except historicals of dubious historicalness and I don't seem to like that paranormal romance thing, or things sent in present day US or generic big cities, or books where people stand around talking rather than doing things, but other than, I read pretty much anything.
(OK what I do like: SF/F mostly, with interesting characters in an place that feels real; who are doing things (adventure over introspection),; that doesn't seem like something I've read a dozen time over; dark is good, but not bleak; light can be good, but not humorous; and for bonus points: airships, sailing ships, cruise ships that hit an iceberg on their maiden voyage, terriers, raptors (bird sort) or old houses; and a twist at the end that makes the whole story change can be good; and not first person; or 800 pages long)
