I’m currently reading Brandon Sanderson. He has several out, but I’m working on The Way Of Kings. Also if you’re interested, I have a two book series available http://www.aliciarivoli.com/
Ilona Andrews. They are a husband and wife team and everything they write is great. Also Yasmine Galenorn.she writes urban fantasy and it is excellent.
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.
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.
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. 🙂
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!
Mist born trilogy (anything by Brandon Sanderson) The name of the wind The lightbringer series The Broken empire trilogy and The book of Ancestor series by Mark Lawrence The demon cycle series The First law series by Joe Abercrombie Greatcoats by Sébastien de Castell Chronicle of unhewn throne by Brain Staveley
Oh gosh, I’d forgotten about these as it’s been so long since I read them; they were brilliant. I must have been about 16 or 17 when I read them first and have-read since but now I feel maybe another read is in order ?
If you want to take a chance on the Devil’s Playground series, the first book is free http://books2read.com/dpforgotten. It is set in NOLA and deals with a supernatural SWAT team.
