I liked Frostborn by Johnathan Moeller.
The legend of drizzt/ forgotten realms
Legend of drizzt is an amazing series.
Spellmonger series…
Travis, when is your trip? I recently got all 3 books of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. I’m on book 2 now. I’d be happy to send it on. They are on CD.
August I appreciate the offer but credit on audible I got to use
Dragonbone chair. By tad williams
I just finished this one. It was very good.
kingkiller chronicles, farseer series, first law trilogy, magicians series
Night Angel Trilogy, quick and fun reads with great action scenes and plenty of magic to boot
If it’s for audible then a good series I’ve recently finished was the society of the sword . It’s a trilogy but all three books come bundled for one credit which is great value and I found them really enjoyable . Another Ive not long listened to is the greatcloaks series by Sebastian de castell which was quite frankly awesome . The nightblade series is also good by Ryan Kirk .
The Saga of Recluce by @Cozy

AND, they are on Audible:

I actually really liked these until a few books in . I didn’t like it when it started getting more advanced and weird lol
Codex of Alera- Jim butcher.
Green rider series- Kristen Britain
The Amber Chronicles. Vivid and exciting and plenty of swords and magic and wonder.
How long is the series? Is it like WoT or stormlight?
@Sheldon it’s 10 books (all in one in the book I posted a pic of) but they are pretty short. So all told the 10 books are probably as long as a GoT book or away of Kings. 1200 ish pages I think.
@Sheldon grabs hold on page one and never lets go. Zelanzy was a master
Of course audible has them split into individual books, each being around 5 hours. Lol. So I may never spend all that money for so little of content
@Sheldon ahhh that’s a bummer. BUT you can always buy one, return when your done, get the next one and so on. You can return anything you want on there as long as you’re a subscriber. I do it all the time to get a whole series for 1 credit.
Seriously??? Idk how to do that
@Sheldon yep, it’s their listener guarantee. Just log on, go to your account and look at purchases and there’s a little button that says return. Click it and boom done. Pro tip: if you leave it downloaded on your devise you can still listen even after returning
Wow. Thanks. U just saved me about $150 a month in extra credits
Just be careful you don’t fall foul of Amazon by doing this too much . They’ve been known to ban people’s audible and amazon accounts for this . I’ve returned a couple of books in the past but I tend to only do it with the ones I genuinely don’t like and that I can’t get into . Think in a couple of years I’ve only returned like 3 and I buy 3-4 every month
Oh ok
I couldn’t live without amazon or audible. U can now go around proclaiming heroism for saving someone’s life. U saved me from suicide. ???
@David hmmmm I return all the time….. I also own 115 audiobooks as well
@Royal me too. I keep the ones I know I’ll listen to again or really enjoyed but I do return a lot
Kingkiller Chronicles
Just do Wheel of Time. 🙂
Wheel of Time as an audio book. Oof!!!!!
@Vic He’s got 50 hours…he can get a book or two in 🙂
50hr trip?….Jordan might have just finished describing one of the girls dresses in that time, emphasis on the word ‘might’??
@Davfyd Sooooo true. Then it’s a description of a flag moving in the wind for the next 50…
Someone needs to do a “translation” of Wheel of Time. Tell the friggin’ story. It would probably be two books.
You can read in the car? That always makes me motion sick. 😛
What a wuss!!!
Haha. Jk
What are some books/authors you like?
My audible author list
Duncan M Hamilton has”The society of the Sword” trilogy as a single audible purchase, it’s 53 hours and is rapiers/dueling and magic. More of a light listen, like Manning. Edward Robertson has “The cycle of Arawn” again it’s like 53 hours long and it’s more along the lines of Manning/Hair/Kade/Rowling. Scott Lynch has “The Gentleman Bastards” series which is more along the lines of Rothfuss/McPhail. Brent Weeks “Lightbringer” series also is along the lines of Rothfuss, well done and more mature. Mark Lawrence’s second trilogy, “The Red Queen’s War” is fun, well written and engaging, you’d probably like it. I have more to suggest if you’re interested, but any of the ones listed would get you through the drive and keep you entertained. 🙂
I read in another comment you said you like “medieval feel/magic/fantasy” so I would also suggest Anthony Ryan “Bloodsong.” Great trilogy, one of my favorite protagonists
Riyria Revelations and Chronicles
Sword of Truth series, Author Terry Goodkind.
Wheel of Time series Author Robert Jordan.
The Elric saga. No question. Incredible books!
