Fantasy Book Suggestions

[Drisco]

I need a good Fantasy book. Something along the lines of Eragon, Harry Potter, and Wheel of time.

L.E. Modesitt Jr's Magic of Recluse series...13 books long. All the books take place within one time line...normally working in groups of 3 or 4 in a period and other books coming before or after, great series.

George RR Martins Song of Fire and Ice series - bar none, best fantasy I have ever read - starts with "A Game of Thrones".

There is always Feists "Magician: Apprentice" and "Magician: Master"

David Eddings - Belgariad and Mallorean series - 5 books each. Or the other two series The Talmuli and something else I can't think of.

"Bone Dolls Twin" by Lynn Flewelling, thats a three book series. The Nightrunner series is pretty good too and thats 3 books. It's not a 3 book series she says though, it's a 2 book series, +1...whatever that means. Good stuff though.

I'll have to look at my bookcase...but I HIGHLY recommend "A Game of Thrones"...

Sword of Truth Series

First book - Wizard's First Rule

I loved Running with the demons by Terry Brooks... it's an older one and there's a couple that follow it, I haven't read a whole lot of fantasy yet but my better half reads tons, this was a good one.

Hmm is a Game of thrones like 4 books long and like the brother is incest with his sister who is the queen and has his kid whom becomes the king?

Well, "A Game of Thrones" is the first book in the series. There are 4 books out right now, and last I heard he had planned for 7. Originally 6, but this last book that came out was too big, so he split it in half essentially which bumps the total to 7 planned right now.

And what you said is one of the many running plot lines throughout the book.

[Drisco]

yah heh I read those already. They were pretty good at the main parts but it dragged on a bit. Best part was the Battle in book 3 I belive

The Magician is really good.

If you like the sort of "weaker" (more Pg13) fantasy along the lines of Harry Potter, you might like the original Dragonlance chronicles.

Elric is also one of my preferred titles.

Sandman is really great too.

DragonRiders of Pern original series (Think it was Dragonflight) also good.

The Farseer Trilogy is worth a look.

Tales of the Otori is good if you like fantasy mixed with a Japanese theme.
