Worth a read! https://mobyclub.com/review/jrr-tolkiens-latest-posthumous-book-may-actually-be-last
Powder Mage Triology by McClellan. Start with “Promise of Blood.” Totally different take on the fantasy genre.
Paractical magic
Definitely David Eddings. Start with the series The Belgariad, and go from there. Fantastic writer! Excuse the pun! But best ever! I keep re-reading them ever so often.
I read through them at least once a year, however I tend to gravitate towards Belgarath and Polgara’s origin stories.
Oh, this is making me want to read these all over again! I think my fave Eddings book is The Redemption of Althalus…I found it really clever and funny
@Kat oh my God! It has been too long since I’ve read The Redemption of Althalus! What a fantastic book!
@Elise Yes, it really was awesome. I get so torn between reading new books and re-reading ones I love!
Malazan Book of the Fallen
Mistborn
Realm of the Elderlings
Stacia Kane -Downside Ghosts series and Seanan McGuire – October Daye series are two of many that I love getting lost in.
Harry Potter
How about Mists of Avalon, by ? Bradley Zimmerman I can’t remember her first name sorry, senior moment
Marion, I believe. Marion Bradley Zimmer
The red pyramid
If I had to pick one author it would be Robin Hobb… but also love Raymond E Feist, Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, Trudi Canavan, David Eddings…probably forgetting some others! Oh, and recently read The Demon Cycle by Peter Brett… absolutely loved that series; it’s 5 books and some additional novellas.
The Discworld books by Terry Pratchett are hilarious and excellent.
Kings of the wyld. Bloody rose which is book 2. Terry Pratchet. Neil gaiman. Anything by Mark Lawrence. Anna Stephens God blind and. Dark souls. …..Raymond e fiest. John gwyn faith and the fallen series, anything by Brent weeks, or joe ambercrombie…and many many more
Terry Brooks’ Magic Kingdom series, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series (Dragons!), The Halfblood Chronicles by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey (The first book is The Elvenbane), Robin Hobb’s Assasin series, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah Maas, Song of Sorcery by Elizabeth Scarborough, The Magicians Guild by Trudi Canavan and The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter and the sequel, European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman by Theodora Goss. I have more to recommend, but would need more specifics about your taste. 🙂
The Magicians Guild was amazing!
I think I’ll be looking these up as I love Hobb and Canavan so am guessing I’d like your other suggestions ?
My area of expertise! Throne of Glass or the Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes, the Eon duology by Alison Goodman, Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake, The Novice by Taran Matharu, or the Red Queen series. Just a few recommendations. Hope you enjoy!
