Although I'm no longer fourteen (that was a while ago) I don't think there's an age to read good fantasy novels. I'm not a big reader of fantasy myself, but I have read and LOVED the series The Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan (First book is The Eye of the World). Friends that have read more fantasy novels than I did recommend Margaret Weis, and Guy Gabriel Kay.
Of course, if you haven't read Lord of the Rings, or the Hobbit, run, don't walk, to get those.
Stephen King also has a great fantasy novel titled "The Eyes of the Dragon". It is fantastic! I think I was about 14 when I read it, and I think I spent two days doing just that; I couldn't put it down!

Some authors that I love (along with a good starting series) are:
Joan Aiken: The Wolves series
Susan Cooper: The Dark is Rising series (The book Dark is Rising is second in the series)
Diana Wynne Jones: Crestomanci series (some of her other books can be pretty confusing but I really like them anyway)
Tamora Pierce: Protector of the Small (There are series that come before this, chronologically, but this set was my favourite. All of her books are really good)

You should read the Acorna series! It is about a unicorn girl! Another good pick, if you like Star Wars, there are Star Wars books about the movies, separate stories in the time of the Jedi Order, and the New Jedi Order! I am a Star Wars freak! I love fantasy, I draw it too, I am serious I am going on Elfwood, a SF&F art/Fan art site. It is cool you should go on it! I love the Inheritance trilogy too, I can't wait till the 3rd book comes out!

Let's see, Tolkien is great reading, much was left out in the movies that intorduces different characters, Terry Brooks' Shannara series is also good, Some of the Stephen King books such as The Dark Tower series are fantasy/magic based, Douglas Adams is humoruos sci-fi/fantasy. I recently discovered Eric Flint (1632, 1633, 1634) They are interesting concepts and you can download some of them for free on his website.

How about This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti? Stephen King writes total imaginative fantasy and he has a dozen great books out there. The Left Behind series are good too.

I love fantasy too. Can't get enough of it. Ok, well you can read a lot of series. Try "The Bartimaeus Trilogy" by Jonathan Stroud; it's about genies and it's really good fantasy and it's funny. Try "Books of Ember" by Jeanne DuPrau. They're good too. Some other ones are "A Series of Unfortunate Events", "The Witch's Boy", "The Ranger's Apprentice", etc. Have fun reading!! I'm sure you'll like these!

Tamora Pierce is a really great teen author. She has several series out, most of which are related. The books are about magic, but they're set in a world where there are pages and knights and that kind of stuff. It's actually pretty cool.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this is definitely one you'll enjoy.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE SCYTHIAN STONE (eBook only)
THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

Now I haven't been fourteen for almost ten years, lol, but I really enjoyed the Philip Pullman trilogy "His Dark Materials." Book One: The Golden Compass (or Northern Lights, depending on where you are); Book Two: The Subtle Knife; Book Three: The Amber Spyglass. They feature an excellent, engaging lead character, and involve fantasy, science, politics, religion, and everything.
