Favourite fantasy series other than Harry potter, LOTR and Ice and Fire?

Super fun magical series
@Billie that needs to be completed! Rothfuss needs to start writing again!
@Zul oh absolutely
The Dark Towers by Stephen King
His dark materials trilogy by Philip Pullman
Throne of glass by Sara. J Maas is good
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
@Crystal I’m enjoying this on Netflix, but I suspect the show skims the surface??
@Nicole yeah I’ve watched it on Netflix too and i don’t mind it but the books are waaaay better! They change the story a lot. There’s a movie as well but it was terrible!
@Crystal i really liked the movie (although both movie and tv are a bit cheesey) but i got bored of the books…
Harley merlin read three of the series and love it!
Morganville vampire series Rachel Cane
Name of the wind! Aka Kingkiller Chronicles!Best series I have read in the last few years

The shannara chronicles by Terry Brooks; the mortal instruments, dark artifices and infernal devices series by Cassandra Clare; the death gate cycle by Margaret Weis; The Chronicles of Narnia; The inheritance cycle by Christopher Paoline; The All Souls Trilogy, The Fallen series by Lauren Kate. The Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice. Anything written by Terry Pratchett and or Neil Gaiman ?
Terry Pratchett was a master! Neil Gaimen is incredible too.
The Belgariad, hands down my all time fave series. Eddings is my favourite author, and the appendix books Belgarath the Sorcerer, Polgara the Sorceres, and the sequel series The Malloreon are excellent. Garion is my absolute favourite fictional character.
Love David Eddings! His series is usually what I recommend when anyone is looking for a great fantasy series. I’ve read them all so many times I’ve had to replace a few of my copies
Katie Turner Same here. I’ve stopped counting how often I’ve read them. Now I can just open any of the books and I know exactly where I am. It’s like a bunch of old friends.
Yes!! Old friends. I read them probably every 2-3 years and enjoy it just as much every time. Garion is very dear to me, also Silk!
@Cassie yes! ❤️ David Eddings! It’s been so many years, I may need to re-read ?
