My husband wants to read fiction where the main character is a male mage. Can anyone help us out with a recommendation? Thanks in advance!

The closest I can come up with is The Sword of Truth series. First one is Wizards First Rule.
@Amanda i second this. Richard Cypher and his adventures. Good one.
Dragonlance!! Raistlin is awesome
@Jerrica, YES!
Well, I there’s a book with two protagonistists. One is a female mechanic and the other a male mage. It’s called “the Dragons of Dorcastle” by Jack Campbell
It starts upon the females POV and the plot seems to center around “her” but he has a HUGE part and has equal importance as far as story line and character depth
Does Dresden Files work?
Kingkiller chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss!!!!! He hasnt finished the triliogy yet but SO good
@Sophie YAS
Its not finished?! I’m about a 4th into name of the wind. ?
@Jessica not yet, and it doesn’t look like Doors of Stone will be out in 2019 – according to interviews the full first draft is written but he’s taking it apart again and rewriting bits.
The Belgariad series by David Eddings
@Nicole hahaha, you beat me to it!
Warcraft! I am reading right now! They have mages, dragons, orcs, Night Elves! Undeads…
Belgariad and malleoren by David Eddings. Two series that follow on from each other and then there are two accompanying books and a third book that’s a book from the books. If he likes it hell be set.
Ooh yes and perhaps the Redemption of Althalus? It’s by the David and Leigh Eddings too!
Yes! I have that on my shelf waiting to be read :). I’m actually reading The Elder Gods by them atm haha
The Kingkiller Chronicles!
Agree w/Dragonlance and Kingkiller, also recommend Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, and the Magicians series by Lev Grossman.
Yes Kingkiller, also Riftwar Saga by Raymond E Feist
The Wardstone Chronicles? Not exactly a mage but he’s a spook, and deals with all sorts of ghast and ghosts and boggarts and witches.
Wizard of Earthsea?
Dark Shades of Magic
