Fantasy Recommendations for the Unenlightened 2

[alexx]

Oh thanks a lot j. d.! Should've though of that...and murphy, if you are trying to look for them, I got most of them on amazon.com or co.uk, the three in the middle I did have to get used. When I read them though, I could only find the last one and then I got them in a very strange order (5,1,4,2,3). If you have only have the last one it's still a fantastic read, you don't feel like you're missing anything because she prologues Trial of Fire. Once you read the last one, even though you know the end, you might end up becoming obssessed with finding the other four like me, haha.

Just ordered Gardens of the Moon (Steven Erikson), The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch), HP & the Deathly Hallows (JK Rowling)

After I finish Wishsong (Terry Brooks) I plan on reading The Blade Itself (Joe ABercrombie) and The Darkness that Comes Before (R Scott Bakker). I have also got to finish Shadowmarch (Tad WIlliams)

OMG - nobody has mentioned Steven Brust Vlad Taltos serie here - I guess it's my job to promote him
Second author I couldn't find is Simon R. Green Forrest Kingdom, Shadows Fall, Hawk and Fisher and Nightside - are at least worth a mentioning.
Third author worth mentioning is Andrzej Sapkowski - who has been mentioned here and has written some very interesting fairy-tales with twists.

Nice list there, theophanides. I'd suggest, however, putting spaces between the commas and the following name, as lack of such space makes reading such a list rather hard on the eyes; hence is likely to be skipped by many who might benefit from your effort....

Im thinking about getting The Last Wish.

It reminded me of The Night Watch in a good way. I liked that kind of dark magic behind the scenes etc

What kind of story is it ? How would you describe ?

The synopsis of the book was very vague on evertything but The Wicther.

Just spotted this list of the most signifacnt SFF books in the last 50 years. It's always subjective and I'm not clear as to why Shannara is there but they certainly have some good ones in this list.

So it may be helpful to some to peruse this...

The rest of the Malazan books, there are four more. Hobb's Mad Ship trilogy and her Tawney Man trilogy. They finish up what started in Farseer.
