The Videssos books are one area his fantasy has been as good as his AH. This is probably because of him basing it on his specialty of Byzantine history. I read all of Flint's stuff, although I do not have the very latest Ring of Fire book yet. I am just very slow at getting pages added here. I agree, Harry’s long series can be a long slog.

I find Turtledove more intersting in his alternative histories than his fantasies. I enjoyed the concept of Worldwar, but it seemed to just grind to a halt. Ruled Brittania was excellent, I found the first Atlantis book to be pretty boring, so I have not continued the series. Another alt-history writer I enjoy is Eric Flint. I enjoyed his Belisarius series and also his ongoing 1932 series. The opening books of both are avaialble for free download at Baen books.
