@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!
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 ?
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.
Chronicals of sirkara. Laura resnik. Maragaret weis novels. Original dragonlance nevels. Janny wurts, circle of fire (from memory) Neil gaiman and terry pratchett (novels together and separate. Mercedes lackey (series….joust is the first novel)
Oh also all of Robin Hobb’s Fitz series – Farseer trilogy, Tawny man trilogy and Fitz and the Fool trilogy…. outstanding if you like your fantasy with a side of realism… not everything is rainbows and lovehearts 😉
@Louise did you read the Liveship Traders trilogy. I read on her website that a lot of people skip that series. Also seen on Facebook that many people didnt like that triology
@Lexi I loved it and the golden fool books … ! All the books link in … the lands the characters… they all reveal another layer … if you love her writing you will Love all her books x
Kingkiller chronicles, stormlight archive series by Brandon Sanderson, assassins apprentice by Robin Hobb, wheel of time series by Robert Jordan, sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind, and codex alera series by Jim Butcher. I loved all these:)
I LOVE this series!! Such great books. The 3rd is finally out so I’m starting to reread the first two while I wait for it to become available at my library. I’m number 65:/
Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series, The Infernal Devices series, and The Dark Artifices series. All Rick Riordan books. I have way too many to list…
The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington. Only the first two books are out right now, but they are fantastic.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, The Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare and The Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind.
Inheritance cycle! I loved the mMrtal Instruments when it was a trilogy, but was she extended to a 6 book series, Jace really started to annoy me and I stopped reading it.
The Incarnation Series by Piers Anthony. Each book is good as a stand alone but they all weave together. The first one is about Thanatos, then basically Father Time, the 3 aspects of fate, Mars, and Mother Nature. Amazing, magical books.
I loved The Girl in the Box series. Read it by mistake, thought it was something else entirely. Was surprised the direction it took and loved it. Amazing ?
