Personally, RotCG was a lot more enjoyable and fun to read. TtH trends a little slower and darker but the end was worth it. Pick up whichever you feel in the mood for. BTW, I dragged both these monsters with me on my crowded Tokyo subway commutes ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-58754175049188831682008-11-25T07:31:00.000+00:002008-11-25T07:31:00.000+00:00I'm also going with The Dreaming Void - I'm a huge...I'm also going with The Dreaming Void - I'm a huge Hamilton fan and I thought this was a great start to the story (and the sequel is simply amazing).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-13874842484390435432008-11-25T02:14:00.000+00:002008-11-25T02:14:00.000+00:00Reading Hero of Ages currently, and loving it.

Still, the size of the book makes it difficult. To solve this problem, I bought an ARC of the book for about $3 USD....Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126093513818104194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-19705093155119359002008-11-25T01:21:00.000+00:002008-11-25T01:21:00.000+00:00Either RoTCG or TtH - maybe RoTCG since timeline-w...Either RoTCG or TtH - maybe RoTCG since timeline-wise it's better to read this one first (although it doesn't matter too much.
