I’m in need of a good fantasy to read. Got any recommendations?
I haven’t read much fantasy lately but my husband realy enjoyed the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski
I always find myself picking up the Prydain chronicles or Narnia or Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising set when I’m wanting some comfort fantasy. I know them well and it’s like having coffee with an old friend when you’ve had a bad day.
I’ve read all of them!
I know I’ve still got the Narnia books, I think I still have the Prydain books somewhere…but I don’t have the Dark is Rising anymore ?
All great stories though
I have all of them. My Narnia and Dark sets are mismatched and slowly being replaced as I find covers which match the ones I like… But Prydain… My Prydain is a treasure. It’s all 5 books in one tome, with a bonus story about how Little Dallben became the Enchanter Dallben.
I love these, also!
ACOTAR duh ?
The house of night series
The queen of tearling
Just finished this trilogy, I enjoyed it ?
Im procrastinating the last book. Im not ready for Kelsea story to be over. Haha.
Its turning into a movie starring emma watson!
I loved this series so much. And I never really see people recommending it so this makes me happy. ?
Reflection Pond by Kacey Vanderkarr, or Stepping Stones which is also by her
The Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole
Dragon Princess, Dragon Thief and Dragon Wizard, a trilogy with magic and hilarity, kinda pokes fun at the fantasy genra without going overboard.
Hush Hush series ❤
Existence series by Abbi Glines!! Highly recommend it! P. S its my fav book ?❤❤
The Last Herald Mage series by Mercedes Lackey
The Sword and Sorceress anthology series, started by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
A great way to sample top notch fantasy fiction, submissions are being taken for Volume 31, due to come out in 2018.
The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E Feist, or the Elenium/Tamuli series by David Eddings
Love both of them!
Arcana chronicles ?❤️?❤️?❤️
Terry Brooks
Helene Wecker’s Golem and the Jinni
Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series, Dead Witch Walking first
Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and His Majesty’s Dragon
Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series
Anne Bishop’s The Others, Written in Red.
Esther M. Friesner’s Chicks in Chainmail
Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows
And that’s what I’d recommend from this year’s reading, thus far.
A Song of Ice and Fire
What kind of fantasy?
My favourite is “The Troll’s Grindstone” – action / adventure.
I’ve also enjoyed the MYTH series by Robert Asprin – humour
Try Terry Pratchett, he has a very loose fantasy series (you can read it without much order) of books, there’s something for everyone. My personal favorites are ‘Going Postal’ and ‘Fifth Elephant’. But all of them are incredibly funny – sort of Monty-Pythonesqe humor and almost every page has something that can be quoted, either for silliness’ sale or because it’s so deep.
Also try any Ursula K. LeGuin’s books. They have such amazing and interesting and strong characters, also she doesn’t shy away from developing them and it’s incredibly refreshing.
Try Gail Z. Martin. You could start with The Summoner from her Chronicles of the Necromancer series. She also has several other series aswell x
I’m addicted to The Morganville Vampires series by Rachael Caine
Can’t stop reading them ?
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Hated it the first time I tried to read it but i’m really enjoying it this time. Go figure.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lunar Chronicles
Anything by Mercedes Lackey.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten , anything by Patricia Mckillip like Alphabet of Thorn, and The Golem & the Jinni by Helen Wecker. All of them are written with beautiful language that makes the fantastic seem normal. I second others with their suggestions of Narnia, Wheel of time and A song of Ice and Fire
I think I’m sometimes pushing Raymond E Feist too hard, but that’s because I love his books. I especially love the Empire-trilogy he wrote with Janny Wurts, but over all he’s my favorite fantasy author of all time.
Anytime anyone asks about fantasy recommendations, he’s the first author I think of.
I agree with you about the Empire trilogy too, awesome books ?
Never heard of them, but those covers are so pretty.
Seconded so fucking hard they were amazing
I just started A Gathering of Shadows a few minutes ago. I loved the first one. So far so good with number two. ?
you’re going to fucking love a conjuring of light
