Question

feeling a bit deflated and would like some suggestions on some magical, mythological etc. books to make me feel better! :)



please don't bother replying with stupid answers, you may not like harry potter but i did therefore keep your comments to yourself.

p.s i've already read the lord of the rings

Answer 1

Eragon, or Dan Brown books.
Check out my question, it is similar and you can get ideas from there.

Answer 2

Try reading every single Forgotten Realms books, the ones that are written by R.A. Salvatore. Those books about Drizzt Do'Urden are some of the best fantasy books around. Also, try out the Dragonlance books written by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weiss. To start with the Drizzt books, read Homeland, it's the very first one. As for Dragonlance, start with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. You shouldn't have much trouble to figure out which book comes next after that because it'll have a list of them in order on one of the first few pages.

Have fun, those two series are great fantasy books.

Answer 3

I know how you feel iv'e just finished today, i'm thinking so what do I read now

I would recommend:
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman consisting of Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. I read this trillogy a while ago and couldn't put them down

You also look at any books by Dan Brown or Michael Crichton or you could try any of the Edge Chronicles Series

Answer 4

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Eragon by Christopher Paolini (LOVE it)

Eldest by christopher paolini

Redwall by brian jaques

The Magician's Nephew by C.S Lewis

The Mismantle Chronicles Book one: Urchin of the riding Stars by M.I. McAllister

The Ranger's Apprentice By John Flanagan

The Secret Country By Pamela Dean

The Wizard, Witch and Two girls from jersey by Lisa Papademetriou (VERY GOOD BOOK)

Fairest By Gail Carson Levine

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien (MY FAVORITE)

Artemis Fowl By Eoin Colfer

Answer 5

Try the Temeraire books by Naomi Novik

Or The Lies of Locke Lamore by Scott Lynch.

For something really dark & nasty Hunters Moon by David Devereux (OK that ones a plug for a mate of mines book but it's a damn good read, but should probably have an 18 rating on it)

Answer 6

have you read The Edge Chronicles? they are REALLY good and should take your mind off HP. there're nine books in the series.
Also Eragon and Eldest are much better than the film would have you think. it might take you a while to get started as the first half of eragon is a bit slow-going, but it's worth it

hope this helps
if you need any more just ask

Answer 7

You will love 'The Silver Crown' by Robert C O'Brien and the C.S. Lewis Narnia books also E Nesbit's 'The Magic City'
'The Magic World' and 'The Enchanted Castle'

Enjoy

Answer 8

My first and foremost suggestion would be Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card-- it's one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to anyone of any age, even if they don't usually like science fiction (which it is, not fantasy).
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is good fantasy, but watch out for the VERY anti-religious themes in the second and third books.
C.S.Lewis' Narnia Chronicles are another good one, to which Pullman is the antithesis-- they're religious allegory behind the fun and fantasy.
Good Omens by Niel Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is wonderful
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a lot of fun.
If you like dragons, go for Margaret Weis or maybe Anne McCaffrey.
If you like the epic-type fantasy, try Robert Jordan or Terry Goodkind.
For a more science-fictiony book try Tad Williams' Otherland series-- the first one takes a while to get interesting, but once you're hooked it's quite a ride.
Hope you find something!
