![]() | Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth) by Terry Goodkind
Buy used from: £17.67 A good book, although a little too similar to the 'Wheel Of Time' series. I would also recomend the next 3 in the series but not beyond that (it gets repetitious).
|
![]() | The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £1.45 This book (and series) should possibly be mentioned before the above one, however, as I said, this list is in no particular order. A very good read.
|
![]() | A Shadow on the Glass (View from the Mirror) by Ian Irvine
Buy new: £6.90 / Used from: £0.01 Possibly the best book I have ever read (if you can get through the first few chapters). Definitely one to read, however, I would avoid all other books by Irvine (including others in this series!)
|
![]() | Song in the Silence (Tor fantasy) by Elizabeth Kerner
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £0.01 A great fun book and an interesting look at dragons, even if the ending is rather trite. Good, clean fun.
|
![]() | A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: £5.29 / Used from: £1.99 The one criticism I would make of this book is that rather a lot of Martin's characters came down with incipient mortality and, inevitably, these were mainly the characters I liked *sigh*.
|
![]() | Ravenheart: A Novel of the Rigante by David Gemmell
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £1.38 Easily the best Gemmell book out there, although I would also definitely recommend 'Legend' as well.
|
![]() | The Ring of Five Dragons (Pearl Saga) by Eric Lustbader
Buy new: £6.29 / Used from: £0.01 Strange, since I seem to be in the minority in liking this book, however, enjoy it I did and I would recommend it to most.
|
![]() | Daggerspell (Deverry) by Katharine Kerr
Buy used from: £3.19 Great book, the 'present day' section tells a really gripping story, though the 'past' sections let you down a little. Again, I would recommend reading this book and the next, but then stopping.
|
![]() | Talon of the Silver Hawk (Conclave of Shadows) by Raymond E. Feist
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 A really interesting book this one, I enjoyed the way Feist created a hero who was a bit of a 'yes' man but who still was able to think for himself.
|
![]() | The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey
Buy new: £6.39 / Used from: £0.01 Having read the vast majority of the McCaffery books, I must admit that the only one to measure up to this one is her first book, 'Dragonflight'.
|
![]() | The High Lord: The Black Magician Trilogy Book Three by Trudi Canavan
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £1.87 Another brilliant book, unfortunately you must read the previous two in the series to appreciate this book fully, however it is well worth the effort.
|
![]() | A Cavern of Black Ice (Sword of Shadows) by J.V. Jones
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 Again, a very good book. J V Jones is a compulsive writer and I am looking forward to the release of the third in the series.
|
![]() | Lord of Snow and Shadows (The Tears of Artamon) by Sarah Ash
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, only two of this series are currently published, but I would recommend them both in the strongest possible terms.
|
![]() | Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 This book had an almost historical fiction esque feel to it. Personnally I liked it far more than her earlier 'Sevenwaters Trilogy' and would recommend it to anyone.
|
![]() | Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £0.99 I must admit to not being a great fan of Robin Hobb. I greatly enjoyed this book and, on the strength of that, was prompted to read the others in the series, however, I was greatly dissappointed.
|
![]() | The Belgariad (Vol 1): Volume One: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit by David Eddings
Buy used from: £8.61 This was the series that first introduced me to fantasy and I still find it good fun, though it is a bit of a cliche and rather simplistically written.
|
![]() | The Thief's Gamble (A tale of Einarinn) by Juliet E. McKenna
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 This is the first book from a prolific author, and is good fun, though I have yet to read the others in the series as yet.
|
![]() | The Ill-Made Mute (The Bitterbynde Trilogy) by Cecilia Dart-Thornton
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 If you can soldier past the first two chapters (and my God, are these chapters long!) then this book really picks up and is well worth the read.
|
![]() | The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy used from: £0.01 Yes, it had to be there somewhere, didn't it? Ah well, LOTR is a good series, if you can get out of the Shire, but "The Two Towers" is my favourite of the three.
|
![]() | The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin
Buy used from: £1.00 I am a bit loath to put this book in as its writing style is less than outstanding, however, it seemed a shame to end a list on book 19 and Joanne Bertin tells a good story.
