Recommend some fantasy, please!

I'm part of a collab channel in which I post my reviews of fantasy books on Thursdays.
(Shameless Self-Promotion)

And so I would like to know what fantasy books nerfighters recommend!
It can be anything at all, in terms of fantasy. Vampire, werewolf, faery, plain ol' magic.
The particular sub-category matters not.

So, what do you like?

Also, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series is great. I recommend that if you're into stuff like Lord of the Rings.; ▶ Reply to This

The seven Harry Potter books are awesome, and I don't know if you have heard of the Darren Shan books? Well I have read the first, and it was great!
Good luck with your collab channel:D; ▶ Reply to This

Apparently he left lots of notes and some outlines so there will be a final book put together. Brandon Sanderson is writing it and it is scheduled to be released in three parts over the next few years.

The Dark Tower series of novels by Stephen King were pretty cool. Kinda like fantasy-westerns.; ▶ Reply to This

They are amazing. The best would be Echo, Ecstasia, Primavera, and My Life as a Teenage Fairy. Oh and Pysche in a Dress; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by dozzzier on March 6, 2009 at 1:16pm: Any of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novels; I like Neverwhere the best. Steven Erikson is also brilliant epic-fantasist, and One for Sorrow by Chris Barzak is pretty good.

I second Francesca Lia Block and Phillip Pullman. They both rock.; ▶ Reply to This
