 | Transformation (Rai-Kirah) by Carol Berg
Buy used from: £0.01 Best trilogy ever - the Rai-Kirah; Seyonne and Aleksander just make the books.
|
 | Sailing to Sarantium (The Sarantium Mosaic) by Guy Gavriel Kay
Buy used from: £1.49 Great story and characters - but the writing style is the best thing. Would also recommend his other 6 books (Fionavar trilogy; Tigana; Lions of Al-Rassan; Song for Arbonne)
|
 | Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £0.01 Hobb's three trilogies are truly great - characterisation is the key here.
|
 | The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01 First series I read - and he's still not finished it! But a great epic nonetheless.
|
 | Battleaxe (Axis Trilogy) by Sara Douglass
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 Enjoyed immensley - though not read the next trilogy yet.
|
 | Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth) by Terry Goodkind
Buy used from: £14.90 Enjoyed the first three or four, but got tired of the cliffhangers. The first is easily the best. .
|
 | Colours in the Steel (Fencer Trilogy) by K.J. Parker
Buy new: £5.91 / Used from: £0.01 Great first book, the other two are also worth reading - but be prepared for a interesting bow later on!
|
 | Magician (Riftwar saga) by Raymond E. Feist
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Brilliant stand-alone book. A classic. His others are also wonderful.
|
 | The Belgariad (Vol 1): Volume One: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit by David Eddings
Buy used from: £8.64 Pure fantasy from start to finish. Would definately recommend, especially to newcomers to fantasy or children.
|
 | The Jerusalem Man by David Gemmell
Buy used from: £19.80 Perhaps not representative of Gemmell or fantasy, but loved this series. His other, more traditional books, are also worth reading.
|
 | Magicians Nephew by Lewis
Buy used from: £0.01 And where would we be without Narnia? My favourite was 'Prince Caspian'.
|
 | Dawnthief: Chronicles of the Raven 1 (Gollancz S.F.) by James Barclay
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.24 Action-packed, sword and sorcery mercenary adventure. Forget characterisation, just get into a fight!
|
 | The Once and Future King by T. H. White
Buy new: £6.63 / Used from: £2.17 Loved it as an early reader; great arthurian book.
|
 | The Mists of Avalon (Mists of Avalon 1) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £0.01 Another take on the arthurian legend - but through the women. Made me cry!
|
 | Northern Lights: WITH Subtle Knife AND Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman
Buy used from: £5.00 Wonderful story and interesting ideas. Deserves all the hype.
|
 | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: £4.53 / Used from: £0.01 Another good 'children's' series. Her writing is not the best, but the stories are good. And Rickman plays Snape brilliantly - couldn't stop seeing him in Book 5.

Listmania!
