If anyone else has a guilty affection for what I loosely term 'adventure fantasy' (Patrick Rothfuss, Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, Brandon Sanderson etc) then I thoroughly recommend Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. May be the best of that type I've read since the name of the wind. Properly entertaining stuff and well written. Just devoured it in a day of holiday.
Although I very much enjoyed the Name of the Wind I'm not sure if I'd have bothered with that and the sequel if I'd known that it's 12 years and counting on the publication of the third book.
