Yeah, but what do you REALLY recommend?

Ha! Just kidding. This post is definitely getting bookmarked for future reference. Thanks!

Good call on Ruckley; I've just finished the trilogy and while it's pretty grim, it's a cracking read.

Dave said...

I've not read enough of these yet. Though I do own the opening book in a lot of these series. Just haven't gotten around to them yet. Siren call of the bookstore be damned.

Linds said...

Thank you for the list! I'll definitely be bookmarking this for my to-read list.

Many that I like but I would put Steven Erikson at the very top of that list...

Anni said...

What if I am through your list already? (which I seriously almost am?)

Pat, you should absolutely add The Sun Sword series by Michelle West. One of the best fantasy series I have ever read, and I don't think enough people know about it

I thought that the Imager Portfolio was as good as the The Saga of Recluce.
