>>1258177>What are the best fiction books you've read?Glen Cook is a reasnable author who pays attention to detail and is willing to put a lot of details or plot ideas into each book rather than saving them for more books. Other authors who are less clever will save clever plot and subplot ideas to dole them out per book. But Glen Cook just shoots them all out as he thinks of them. One of the examples is The Dragon Never Sleeps.
