What type of fantasy? Supernatural? Something like Game of Thrones? Do you like science fiction? Or any romance, or sexual content? Or no sexual content and strictly fantasy or fiction? I have all kinds of fantasy books to recommend, but I would need to know more about your preferences ? hope that makes sense.
The Twilight series of books, the movies in this series are way better then the books in this series,and not as nightmarish as I thought they`d be at the movie theater.
EON and its squeal EONA, by Allison Goodman. Dragons and magic and just pure greatness, when I first read them I got so excited I accidentally smacked myself in the head with the book.
I read it highscool and loved them tremendously. I want to own them now, but have tow wait for a bit. I was just confused and overwhelmed and excited and just, over reacted?
The Tapestry series by Henry Neff, most anything by Neil Gaiman, Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews, Prosperos War by Jaye Wells and the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne
Everless and the cruel prince. Both book one in their respective series. And heartless is a stand-alone that explains why the queen of hearts is the way she is. lol. Loved it
If you want to try an indie author, I have the first of my fantasy adventure trilogy available. It’s about Viviana, a lord’s daughter, with the ability to heal and manipulate fire. She has to figure out how to control her ever-growing powers before she hurts or even kills someone she loves. As civil war lingers in the air, she must travel from her land to seek help and find out what she truly is. https://bit.ly/ThornlessRoseFireBlush
I scrolled through the other recommendations (I was going to suggest the Liveship chronicles, but I saw someone else had suggested it so I’ll just second Robin Hobb). I didn’t see anything by Dennis McKiernan listed–excellent fantasy writer if you enjoy Eddings or Tolkien-type fantasy adventure.
Have you read her Tower and Hive series? I had read (still have in paperback ) the first 3, but just found a fourth book in the series at a library book sale. It’s still on my TBR shelf.
The Barbed Coil by J. V. Jones Hand of Fire by Ed Greenwood (that may not be the first one. I can’t remember but I read the trilogy) On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
My favourite book saga ever from my teenage years and I still love it.. it´s Tiger´s curse by Colleen Houck .. it is not good.. it is perfect 🙂 ♥️ I highly recommend
Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind or Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman ~ IF you are interested in starting either of my two favourite and my addictive fantasy series….. 🙂
“The Fairy Godmother” by Mercedes Lackey is one of my favorite books. “The Elenium” series by David Eddings starting with “The Diamond Throne” is amazing (and hilarious). David Eddings is great at fantasy world building.
@Megan I think so–the book is a long one, it’s a full saga all in one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Athalaus is more of an anti-hero, at least through the beginning of the book so it’s not the same type of scenario as Belgariad or the others with a destined or prophesied leader type of story.
The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison. All her books have fantasy. She writes it in as if it’s real. The stories are interesting and her characters are likable.
Wizard’s first rule by Terry Goodkind
Can you tell me more about it?
@Francis

I’m reading Uprooted by Namoi Novik right now and absolutely cannot put it down. One of the best fantasy books I’ve read in years!
What sort of fantasy are you looking for? Stand alone or series; in depth world building or fun jaunt; modern or ‘classic’?
There are so many I recommend for example throne of glass, the iron king ,selection
I scrolled through the other recommendations (I was going to suggest the Liveship chronicles, but I saw someone else had suggested it so I’ll just second Robin Hobb). I didn’t see anything by Dennis McKiernan listed–excellent fantasy writer if you enjoy Eddings or Tolkien-type fantasy adventure.

Game of thrones Stephen Donald’s lord fouls bane and sequals

My favourite book saga ever from my teenage years and I still love it.. it´s Tiger´s curse by Colleen Houck .. it is not good.. it is perfect 🙂 ♥️ I highly recommend

Mortal instruments series is a great series.

Classic-the hobbit.
Now- Eregon
The Merry Gentry series by laurell k Hamilton
The Lord of the Rings series
I am a fan of ‘Inkheart.’
“The Fairy Godmother” by Mercedes Lackey is one of my favorite books. “The Elenium” series by David Eddings starting with “The Diamond Throne” is amazing (and hilarious). David Eddings is great at fantasy world building.
Did you read Eddings’ ‘The Redemption of Athalus?’
@Robin No, I haven’t gotten to it yet. Is it comparable to his other works (in the same genre)?
@Megan I think so–the book is a long one, it’s a full saga all in one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Athalaus is more of an anti-hero, at least through the beginning of the book so it’s not the same type of scenario as Belgariad or the others with a destined or prophesied leader type of story.
@Megan going to try all these. I’ve ran out of books to read ?
My favorite fantasy authors are Terry Goodkind, Robin Hobb, and Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (when co-authoring).
The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison. All her books have fantasy. She writes it in as if it’s real. The stories are interesting and her characters are likable.
Anything by Tamara Pierce. She’s classified as young adult but I love her stories. And I’m not young!
The Broken Blade
The Sword of Truth series
