I like to ask this question every few months.
Currently reading Life of Pi by Yang Martel. Saw the movie a few months ago and wanted to read the book. The one I just finished was called Black Ice by Michael Connelly. It’s one of the Bosch books.

The only other book I'd read of his was: Servants of War. It was like a.. It felt like a grimdark fantasy set in fuedal Slavic motif. Then all of a sudden it's 40k style dreadnaughts fighting hordes of nightmare creatures. I liked it, just took a little bit to get going.
I'll check out Grimnoir Chronicles, that sounds fun.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a strange read, but I enjoy it. There's A LOT of names that sound similar bombarding you. It's written in an epic history / poem style like The Odyssey. The dialogue is dramatic and over the top, but fun. Pretend it was written for some stage 1000 years ago.
If you end up liking it, there's another Chinese epic that got made into games, but hasn't been popular in the West since the 80's-90's. Over here it gets called Bandit Kings of Ancient China or Outlaws of the Marsh, but most places sell it now as The Water Margin or Outlaws of the March. It's ancient Asian style Robin Hood. Wars, feasts, cannibals.
I read Servants of War when it came out. The transition from something that reminded me of The Witcher to 40k was pretty jarring. I enjoyed it and I'm definitely going to read the next one.
I need to read the Deep Six stuff next
I read I Ching a few years back. The names are rough.
