fantasy books?

Question

does any 1 no any good fantasy books, i have jus finished reading his materials trilogy and others like sabriel libreal n abhorsen, and the hobbit, also things like artemis fowl, need a few good 1s to read, really like fantasy

Answer 1

Tanith Lee is an interesting writer. Kind of dark fantasy I think. Piers Anthony is always fun and Anne McCaffrey - If you like dragons and stuff like that. Stephen King has a fantasy series out too called The Dark Tower series. Pretty cool. I really liked the first book titled "The Gunslinger". You could also check out Tamora Pierce.

Answer 2

Someone already said this but I'll say it again: THE NAMED by Marianne Curley. It's about these high school students that have to go back through time to protect the future. I just really liked the idea and the characters, and I was really sad when I finished the last book because I knew there were none left! So . . . the full title is THE GUARDIANS OF TIME trilogy . . . book 1= The Named, book 2= The Dark, book 3= The Key.

P.S. Book 3 ends really abruptly and nothing is explained as it should be, but up until the ending, the books are really good! Plus, if you read the 1st one, you HAVE to read the 2nd and 3rd because it's a really intriguing plot . . .

Answer 3

Harry Potter, The Inhertance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini which includes Eragon, Eldest and a third one that is not released, Inkspell, Inkheart, Dragon Rider, Thief Lord, Lord of the Rings

Answer 4

Any of the Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms books. I LOVE R.A. Salvatore! There's also Darksun, Birthright, Everquest, and Ravenloft, but I've never read any of those. Everquest if heavy fantasy, and Ravenloft is vampires and stuff.

Forgotten Realms:
R.A. Salvatore
Ed Greenwood
Elaine Cunningham

Dragonlance:
Margaret Weis
Tracy Hickman

Also, depending on your age, R.A.V. Salsitz, Emily Drake, Mercedes Lackey's Heralds of Valdemar series, Mercedes Lackey's fairy tale series, which is fun, because it's a new take on those tired old faerie tales. Gets interesting.

Answer 5

I would totally recommend The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander. It's a five book set (the first being "The Book Of Three") with awesome characters and a fun story. The plot moves pretty quick so they are fast reads, but well worth it. Pick them up!

Answer 6

Harry Potter

Answer 7

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The title of the first episode 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 one you'll enjoy. It may not be THE best fantasy series ever, but one Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments below.)

Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

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.
