Glen Cook recommends

Storm Front (2000)
(Dresden Files, book 1)
Jim Butcher
"An exciting debut novel ... wish I'd though of this myself. Try it. You'll like it."

Farlander (2010)
(Heart of the World, book 1)
Col Buchanan
"Completely absorbing. Once I was into it, I just couldn't put it down."

The Last Page (2010)
(Last Page, book 1)
Anthony Huso
"A first novel of unusual scope, power, and imagination."

Awakenings (2011)
(Guardians of Aandor, book 1)
Edward Lazellari
"Lazellari's debut fantasy fortells a promising career. Read Awakenings and get on the ground floor with a great new writer."

We Are The Dead (2019)
(Last War Trilogy, book 1)
Mike Shackle
"Likely the next Game of Thrones, and the best book I've read in several years. Erikson, Martin and Rothfuss are going to have to shove over and make room at the bar. A gem. Not one likeable character in the swamp but I still became totally emotionally engaged. I can't think how to tone down my enthusiasm."

The Blacktongue Thief (2021)
(Blacktongue, book 1)
Christopher Buehlman
"Wow! Truly outstanding. I can't say enough about how good The Blacktongue Thief is. Damned good stuff."

The God is Not Willing (2021)
(Witness , book 1)
Steven Erikson
"This masterwork of the imagination may be the high watermark of epic fantasy."
