The opposite of George R R Martin (in a good way)

Intriguing voice and tone

I enjoyed listening to the book. Rich language and colorful descriptions. The plot flowed and I felt like I'm in the hands of a skillful story-teller.
Although the story is set in a fantasy settings, I was transported to a Renascence-like environment similar to Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers.
I'll read more of Walter Jon Williams's work.
