Dunno if I can call this series underrated, given how positive the few mentions I can find tend to be, but it's certainly underread.

Not sure why, whether it's because of the dire cover art of the first book, because it came out too far ahead of the muh grimdark trend, or because each book in the series is very different from the last. Or maybe it's because the author seems to disappear off the face of the Earth for years at a time doing god knows what.

It's certainly not a perfect series, I'd probably be less positive about it than the mostly 100% glowing reviews I've seen, but it's certainly more original and worth the read than a lot of stuff that sells much better and gets discussed much more.

If you're looking for something a little more obscure than usual, give Stover's Acts of Caine a try.
