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?

I fell in love with Terry Brook's books, The Heritage of Shannara series. He has written many books about Shannara but I've only read those four.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini are wonderful. I just finshed the third one, and it's hard having to wait for the last installment.
I also read this book yesterday, called "Marked" by P.C and Kirsten Cast. It's a vampire novel, but the world is a little different. I liked it a lot, even though I'm not really a Vampire fan.; ▶ Reply to This

I've loved reading them from the very beginning, and seeing how much more mature his writing became as he grew older.; ▶ Reply to This

I mean he must have already been a bit into it when he sent the first draft of Brisingr in. Hopefully we'll see it on the shelves within six months or something ^^,); ▶ Reply to This

Also, Realms of Fantasy, its not a book its a magazine so I don't know if that counts. But it as awesome fantasy short stories in it and theres some book recommendations in the magazine. So if you interested you should check it out. I'm not sure if all stores have it, I usually just find it at the library but you could get a subsribtion online if you wanted to.; ▶ Reply to This
