Well eloquented, bravo

Two authors I haven’t surprisingly seen mentioned

Neil Gaiman is great. If you haven’t read his works yet, start with *the ocean at the end of the lane". A wonderful, short read.

This second one is going to be controversial.

George RR Martin. The books are actually well written, and yes the final book probably won’t get written, but it won’t take away from your enjoyment. He is a very good writer.
