Ever read The Lies of Locke Lamora?

Why yes. Yes I did. And I adored it beyond all reason. *cuddles her copy close*

Why? Intricate worldbuilding? Scott Lynch is another of those folks who's good at it.

Yeah, definitely the intricate world-building. 'Least that's where my train of thought came from.

Catherine Asaro's The Ruby Dice is giving me a good taste of some intricate worldbuilding and seems to be working well as a stand-alone entry in her Skolian Empire series. At least it's understandable to someone who just picked it up on a whim.
