 | The Book Of The New Sun: Volume 1: Shadow and Claw: Shadow and Claw Vol 1 (Fantasy Masterworks) by Gene Wolfe
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.91 A timeless classic.
|
 | A Feast for Crows (Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £2.99 Probably my faviroute of the current fantasy crop. Dark and brilliantly machiavellian. (First book 'A Game of Thrones'))
|
 | Fool's Fate (Tawny Man) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £4.84 / Used from: £2.99 Fitz and co's final outing. Excellent characterisation and atmosphere. A must read. (First book 'Assasins Apprentice')
|
 | Malazan Book of the Fallen #7: Reaper's Gale by Steven Erikson
Buy used from: £0.44 Gets more intricate and epic with every book. (first book 'Gardens of the Moon')
|
 | The Darkness That Comes Before (Prince of Nothing) by R.Scott Bakker
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.30 Up there with Martin, Hobb and Erikson
|
 | The Blood Knight (Kingdoms of Thorn & Bone) by Greg Keyes
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £3.26 Ditto. Especially for those looking for something similar to Martin. (First book 'The Briar King')
|
 | The Blade Itself: Book One Of The First Law (Gollancz S.F.) by Joe Abercrombie
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £2.23 Again right up there with the best. Excellent sense of humour and irony.
|
 | The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, 1-10 (Chronicles of Amber) by Roger Zelazny
Buy new: £9.60 / Used from: £6.14 Not to be missed. An excellent writer.
|
 | The Runes Of The Earth: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (Gollancz S.F.) by Stephen Donaldson
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.50 Not for everyone. An often labourious read, but very rewarding.
|
 | A Sword from Red Ice (Sword of Shadows) by J.V. Jones
Buy new: £11.75 / Used from: £17.50 Considerably better than her first trilogy. Taking an age to be finished/released. Hope its worth the wait....(First book 'A Cavern of Black Ice')
|
 | Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay
Buy used from: £7.50 Maybe his best. A great writer. Much better than the flawed 'Fionavar Tapestry'.
|
 | Quicksilver: The Baroque Cycle (Baroque Cycle 1) by Neal Stephenson
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £2.33 Excellent. Read fantasy with great characters and a great plot, and learn history. Plus these books are massive so its great value.
|
 | Myrren's Gift: The Quickening Book One (Quickening 1) by Fiona McIntosh
Buy new: £0.75 / Used from: £0.01 I did say no order, but the books 13 and down are of a slightly lesser quality than those above. 'Myrren's Gift' and the other 2 in the trilogy are still worthy reads....
|
 | The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop
Buy new: £9.09 / Used from: £8.16 Not bad if you dont mind the occasional cringe worthy dialogue.
|
 | Legend by David Gemmell
Buy new: £4.89 / Used from: £0.96 Typical heroic fantasy, no thrills. As good as it gets for those seeking graphic, adrenaline fueled fun.
|
 | The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn) by Tad Williams
Buy new: £4.02 / Used from: £0.01 Can be labourious at times, but a solid book none the less. Solid characters.
|
 | The Chosen (Stone Dance of the Chameleon) by Ricardo Pinto
Buy new: £6.39 / Used from: £0.01 An often excellent book. Gritty and violent. Still waiting for book 3......
|
 | The Sum of All Men (Runelords) by David Farland
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.19 Interesting and original. A pretty good read.
|
 | Lion of Senet (Second Sons Trilogy) by Jennifer Fallon
Buy new: £1.20 / Used from: £0.01 Political high fantasy, and a trilogy thats actually finished!! Worth a read
|
 | Shadow (Scavenger Trilogy) by K.J. Parker
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Dark. Often overly so, but excellently writen. Fed up with traditional fantasies? give this a pop
|
 | King's Dragon (Crown of Stars) by Kate Elliott
Buy new: £0.98 / Used from: £0.01 Worth a go if you've finished most of the above. Don't expect anything original or profound mind.
|
 | The Dark Tower by Stephen King
Buy new: £4.89 / Used from: £1.25 Not bad, not bad at all. Especially for Stephen King. A fantasy book which reads like an airport novel ( in a good way). (First book 'The Gunslinger')
|
 | Knife of Dreams (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan
Buy new: £2.70 / Used from: £2.47 A lot of people seem to be losing faith with this series, me included. Does seem to have got a bit stagnent...This book is better than the last few
|
 | Shout For The Dead: The Ascendants of Estorea Book 2 (Gollancz S.F.) by James Barclay
Buy new: £9.09 / Used from: £0.97 The second of Barclay's new series is a very different affair to his 'Raven' stuff. Far more political and epic. Not bad.
