Hello im looking for a fantasy series thats good im new to the genre…any ideas?
Fitz and the fool series by Robin hobb
Poison study by Maria V synder
Wheel of time by Robert Jordan (Big epic series)
The name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss (unfinished series but amazing)
Realm of the Elderlings Robin Hobb for sure
Robin Hobb all the way. Except I’d start at the beginning with Assassins Apprentice.
Start with the classics. LoTR, wheel of time, GoT, Malazan
Most of David Gemmell’s books are awesome.
I’m fairly new to the genre too. I’m just finishing off the broken empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence. It’s phenomenal, I’ve absolutely loved it.
Riyria Revelations
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
I’m hoping to read the mistborn books with my reading group at some point. Always thought they looked good.
@Rhys they are brilliant Sanderson is one of my all time favourite authors
Amanda Greet I snapped up some of his books off the kindle store a couple months back, when they had them on sale. Looking forward to getting stuck in.
@Rhys you should go for it they are all amazing
@Amanda I think I will ?
@Rhys awesome!! Get back to me once you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole ?? enjoy
@Amanda I will do ??
The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne.??
Joe Abercrombie
Abercrombie is great, but his stuff is very violent and very dark – they call it grimdark. So be prepared for some seriously nasty stuff.
Raymond E Feist.
Children of blood and bone
Blackdagger brotherhood is my fave ?
Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, if you like something light hearted but excellent reading.
His Dark Materials..
This x2
You could start with the classics, as mentioned above. But frankly, I find reading the classics like driving a Model-T – it’s an interesting novelty, but I would rather drive a modern car.
So if you want something more modern, I’d say read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. 🙂
Jeannie frost- Night Huntress Series
Jennifer L Armentrout- Lux Series ?
Assassin’s trilogy by r.j barker.
His Dark Materials
Majipoor Chronicles
Oh boy do we!!
We
The demon cycle series by Peter v Brett
Kingkiller chronicles, mistborn, stormlight archive, Demon cycle, first law series, farseer trilogy…I can go on and on.
David Eddings.
Belgariad & Mallorean series are still my favorites ?
Dont go with the classics and 90s first. Do some contemporary stuff like Brandon Sanderson, Abercrombie, Anthony ryan, Patrick Rothfuss, or George rr Martin first. The older stuff holds up, but the newer stuff just has a more modern sensibility.
First Law by Joe Abercrombie is my personal favourite, Anything by David Gemmell especially Drenai saga, Mark Lawrence’s Broken Empire, Red Queen’s War & Book of the Ancestor trilogies, Luke Scull’s Grim Company, the Greatcoats series by Sebastian De Castell, Kings of the Wyld & Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames
The Riftwar Saga, Raymond E Feist
What do you normally like to read? You could start with an adjacent fantasy version of that genre
It would help to know what kind of books you like (thematically). Do you likr dark? Young adult? Mystery?
