The legend of drizzt and the forgotten realms is 34 books long and still going.
@Sheldon oh I like long series!
My favorite story is WoT but my favorite fantasy character is Drizzt Do’Urden.
@Gee my will… is being tested…
I hear many people say how good the Drizzt series is…

Have u tried David Eddings? Belgariad, or Elenium? Both series are great.
@Jesse no I haven’t! That might be a good path to take!
Raymond E Feist.
Yes!
The dresdon file’s.
Green Rider Series by Kristen Britain
@Melissa Ditto! One of my all time favorite series.
@Melissa what are the major fantasy characters? Sounds like maybe dragons?
Spirits, horses, medieval time period (but not historical fiction). No dragons.
@Kaela absolutely one of my all time favorites as well. I reread all the previous books when a new one is released!
@Kristen here is the blurb
On her long journey home from school after a fight that will surely lead to her expulsion, Karigan G’ladheon ponders her uncertain future. As she trudges through the immense Green Cloak forest, her thoughts are interrupted by the clattering of hooves, as a galloping horse bursts from the woods.
The rider is slumped over his mount’s neck, impaled by two black-shafted arrows. As the young man lies dying on the road, he tells Karigan he is a Green Rider, one of the legendary messengers of the king of Sacoridia.
Before he dies, he begs Karigan to deliver the “life and death” message he bears to King Zachary. When she reluctantly he agrees, he makes her swear on his sword to complete his mission, whispering with his dying breath, “Beware the shadow man…”.
Taking on the golden-winged horse brooch that is the symbol of the Green Riders, Karigan is swept into a world of deadly danger and complex magic, her life forever changed. Compelled by forces she cannot understand, Karigan is accompanied by the silent specter of the fallen messenger and hounded by dark beings bent on seeing that the message, and its reluctant carrier, never reach their destination.
@Melissa Same here!!! Her Green Rider series got me through nursing school! I still reread her books when I’m down and need a pick me up.
If you’re into shorts, check out the various Martin & Dozois edited anthologies! All good snippets of good authors.
Discworld!
Spellslinger – Sebastian de Castell
Abercrombie? Raymond Feist?
Anthony Ryan
Dark. Anti-Hero. Outside the box fantasy. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Stephen R. Donaldson
Brent weeks, Raymond Feist
If you take any suggestions take this one. “The Long Price Quartet” by Daniel Abraham. It is a four book series full of political intrigue and subtle magic. Spanning the whole life times of the characters that are so meticulously flesh out like not many other books that I’ve read before.
Joe Abercrombie – first Law trilogy
The Demon Cycle by Peter V Brett. Amazing series
Riftwar saga by Raymond E Feist. 30ish books. Mainly awesome.
The war of light and shadows by janny wurts
+1 for both the first law trilogy and demon cycle I’m on book 3 and it’s great so far
Definitely recommend Abercrombie! 10 books out now with a new trilogy starting later this year ?
You read Jeff Wheeler? Lots to read and I love them all. He’s by favourite so far, yet I don’t see many talking about him.
Start with Wretched of Muirwood. The magic system and character development is one of the best!
Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind
Jim Butcher
Peter v brett
The Missing Shield
Raymond E. Fiest begin with Magician then you will enjoy a long series out of it
The Dresden Files are my absolute favorite
I’m always recommending Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, but nobody else mentions that they’ve read them. https://www.goodreads.com/series/51499-fafhrd-and-the-gray-mouser
Has anyone else read these? Comments?
@Mike Classic
And apparently another “good book” by a different author that takes place between Leiber’s 1 and 2, called Swords Against the Shadowlands. Just discovered that.
Jeff Wheeler’s books. His website has the recommended reading order.
David Gemmell Legends. Michael J Sullivan Theft of swords and Brandon Sanderson way of the kings?
Riyria Revelations
Memory, Sorrow and Thorn
Elenium
@Troy yes
The First Law trilogy by Abercrombie
Senlin Ascends by Josiah Banks
The Alaris Chronicles: Start with The Dragon Orb. https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Orb-Alaris-Chronicles-Book-ebook/dp/B01N4LI376
