I also have to agree with ALRyder that I was hoping to find lots of conversation on this site, though I will admit that I am guilty of just responding to a subject and leaving it at that.

Would definitely have to agree with this! It used to be Chris Paolini for Eragon (which I read incessantly as a younger person) but I think as first works go Rothfuss's comes in at a much higher bar, to where Eragon built to that higher bar. On the other hand Paolini was much younger and aimed at a younger audience.... I love both series so much..... TURMOIL!

Steig Larsson's Millennium trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo came to my mind also when reading this topic. I'll have to look into Pat Rothfuss.thsavage2 wrote:Pat Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind is masterful, and it was his first novel to be published. He wrote a lot of it while in college (and it took him a really long time to graduate) but then reworked a lot of it before it got published. It is really just superb, I take pretty much any chance I can to recommend it. And the sequel, Wise Man's Fear, and then we can all wait together for the third and final book with bated breath.
I'd also recommend Steig Larsson's Millennium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and following). He was a journalist and into sci-fi way before he wrote those, but I think they were his first actual novels. And they are really, really good. Heavy, but really good.

Her second one was a stinker though in my opinion. That's a .500 batting average, which is not bad in baseball.

I did not realize that Gone With the Wind was her first book. That is incredible.Brandi Noelle wrote:There are many, I'm sure...Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" comes to mind.

My favorite first time author/book was David Baldacci’s ‘Absolute Power’. It is a murder suspense novel about secret service agents that cover up the death of a woman who is having an affair with the president. A classic conspiracy novel!

The fact that she only had one book almost feels sad. Someone with that much talent should have blessed the world with many stories.Brandi Noelle wrote:Yes, her first and only that she ever had published.

I know, it’s unfortunate. Who knows how many more adventures she could have taken us on!Tpop wrote:Brandi Noelle wrote:Tpop wrote:
