Even when it Lies first came out, I had to be in just the right 'mood' for this type of fantasy and I was; I thought it brilliant. I rank it among the best fantasies I've ever read. I liked the second but nowhere near as much as Lies but if high fantasy is your thing, then I think you ought to commit.
I have just started another, The Bone Season, by Samantha Shannon that reminds me of Lies a bit. Its less gritty thus far but it introduces a world I haven't read before and I'm loving her writing. Shannon is quite impressive a a 22 year old first time novelist.
