Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake
4.0

Mervyn Peake writes for an educated reader - one who understands what words such as 'hierophant' mean. Once you realise that you might need the help of a dictionary, this book actually becomes a great adventure story, filled with humour, poignancy, dread, fear, bravery, and loss. As far as second books go, this is really rather good.
