Oi -_- I liked the first 5 Wheel of Time books. The First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks is good. Not much I've read in the way of high fantasy past that. But I love all Neil Gaiman's novels. Especially 'American Gods', and 'Anansi Boys', And Stardust. (Especially if you loved 'the Sandman' comics).
Here is another. The Wayfarer Redemption [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Wayfarer-Redemption-Axis-Trilogy-Bk/dp/0765341301[/ame] The best for last.. This is sorta a fantasy/sci-fi mix. Metaphysical Multiverse story. The Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny…
Gotrek and Felix awesome adventures following the Dwarven Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson and the Poet Felix Jaeger who is bound by a blood oath to follow the slayer and record his heroic exploits and ultimately his death. Easily read book that takes place whitin the Warhammer fantasy universe and features some really cool and fun…
Ok, I just finished the Hedge Knight Novellas (prequel stories for A Song of Ice and Fire) after reading A Dance With Dragons and am still hungry for more!!!! So what should I check out next to keep me occupied until the 6th Book of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series comes out? Fantasy Books/Series I've read and really…
Yeah I prefer sci-fi usually, but here are some fantasy books I've found interesting. The Enginner Trilogy (Devices and Desires, Evil for Evil, The Escapement) by KJ Parker. I don't agree with all the underlying ideas in the series, but it's a nice ready, quite dark though. The Curse of Chalion by Lois Mcmaster Bujold is…
If you're looking for something less "classical fantasy", check out China Mieville's books! [ame]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=china+mieville&x=0&y=0&sprefix=china+mieville[/ame] Also, anything from Terry Pratchett really (especially this…
I generally stick to high fantasy with all the cliched trappings, but one of the better books I read recently was Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Apprentice-Farseer-Trilogy-Book/dp/055357339X[/ame] I thought the first book was the best of the trilogy, but they're all great reads…
David Gemmell is also very gritty, you mostly don't know who might be brutally murdered the next page. Historically 'accurate' to boot. C.J.Cherryh. Morgaine series is very dark, partly sci-fi. The only female writer I've gotten along with. At least some Moorcock and Howard are must reads for anyone interested in fantasy,…
The Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley pretty much anything by GRRM :) Windhaven - GRRM / Lisa Tuttle (I admit I loved the setting more than the story. but a good read anyway). Andrzej Sapkowski - The guy who's behind the Witcher. The Witcher books are okay, but I can really recommend Lux Perpetua and Narrenturm…
