He had read a lot of fantasy and some sci fi but hasn't picked up a series for ages and I thought i'd get him a first book in a newish series for Christmas
He likes proper goblins and elves type stuff, all prachett, no gaiman (peasant), Asimov, Ian m banks. No game of thrones, no urban fantasy
Any ideas? Something new this year would be great as I know he won't have read it.
