There! I'm starting a first book thread :mrgreen:
'Good fanasy' novels are hard to come by. So I wonder what you all out there have read and could recomment.
Currently my bed-side book is 'Novice' by Trudi Canavan. It's the second in the 'Black Magician Trilogy' and although I have not read the first (unavailable from the library) I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Good writing (!) and an interesting story.
I've read (amongst others I can't recall for obviously they haven't captivated me enough)
- Wheel of time series / Robert Jordan > sorry to say did not like it very much... after book 2 it becomes 'tedious'
- Ghormenghast (never made it past chapter 3 but it's great for descriptions)
- A bunch of books by Barbara Erskine (more historical fantasy though) - quite enjoyable
- Terry Pratchet (sorry .. don't like him at all..)
- Ursula K. Le Guin / the Wizzard of Earthsee Quartett :mrgreen: fab books!
- I read some 'dragon-riders' book but for the life of me can't remember title nor author Obviously I wans't all that impressed
I'd love to see what books you've read and enjoyed in this genre.. and tell me (us) why
