Re: I'm on Fool's Fate...and....

Ok Megan L.
The Reindeer People
Wolf's Brother
once released as a single book, now as two separate ones - shamistic music and theme across a backdrop of nomadic peoples - note there is no animal bonding as in the Farseer trillogy, but there is some bonding of a sorts

Harpy's Flight
The Windsingers
The Limbreth Gate
Luck of the Wheels
four books that form part of a series about a traveler - good series in a large, populated world, with many more non-human sepcies present than in most other fantasies

The rest are (from memory) all stand alone releases - Wizard of the Pidgeons - has some very good reviews.

other recomendations well if you like long, epic fantasy try
A Game of Thrones - Book 1 of a Song of Ice and Fire by Geoge R,R, Martine - long story following many protagonists in short chapters for each character, a very much medevial backdrop and a gritty world to live in - magic is old and echos in the back drop at the start, but move closer to the for as the series progresses - there are also direwolves

The Gardens of the Moon - book 1 of The Malazan Book of the Fallen - by Steven Erikson - very similar writing style to the above, but magic and the gods are firmly at the forfront of the series - large magical battles, wizards, a dark backdrop and even more characters - and good luck working out who is good and who is not

will be back with more later
