Favourite fantasy authors?

[Kamarine]

I enjoyed Eragon and Eldest alot. I thought Brisingr was a bit.. fillerish? It kind of felt like he was adding in all these extra bits to extend the story somehow.

Loving this tread ladies. I have to get myself to a book shop quick!!!

Another author I would suggest is Ann Bishop. I'm pretty sure she's an Aussie, and fairly new to the fantasy writing, but she has 2 trilogies out (The worlds of the Fae and the Realms of the Blood), both EXCELLANT reads. I have read them both many times, and even knowing how it ends, I can't put them down.

Just subscribing because I am a fantasy nut and want to look at this thread properly before I next visit the library.

Can I put in a million votes for Sara Douglass? I've loved all her books, although the Timekeeper series was a bit creepy.

Currently re-reading the Magician series by Feist....how can you go past it, really?

[Kamarine]

Sara Douglass is amazing.

And yeah Timekeepers is kinda.. creepy hehe.

have you read her DarkGlass Mountain stuff?


Also if you like her, you might like Jennifer Fallon?

Oh I loved the darkglass mountain books, and thankfully Sara is finally in remission from her cancer, and might think about starting to write again some time soon, which might mean we can get the third book...

[Kamarine]

Im so glad to hear that! I'd been waiting to hear something from her. She's such a strong woman.

I had no idea she had cancer! Completely selfishly I am very glad she is in remission!

I've enjoyed the Darkglass Mountain books. I don'd mind having to wait for the next installment because each time a new one comes out I get to read the preceding books again to "refresh my memory"!!
