I agree! Both authors do a wonderful job bringing you into their respective worlds. They are well paced, stay on track and make you feel at home with their relatable characters.sjohnston922 wrote:Have you tried The 500 Kingdoms series by Mercedes Lackey? Its takes on fairy tale kingdoms. The first book is called The Fairy Godmother and follow Elena as she learns how to be a fairy godmother and why certain stories repeat themselves within the kingdom. They are lighter reads then the ones you've mentioned, and has some romance and a lot of humor.
Tamora Pierce would be a good match. She writes a lot kingdom stories. Alana is her most popular series, which is about a girl who wants to be a knight.

So so true. I do hope Martin finishes the series before too long. But can understand him being busier since the show hit the ground running.Siddharth Kumar wrote:A Song of Fire and Ice by George R. R. Martins..... This series is the basis for the TV series Game of Thrones in HBO. It has
almost everything: adventure, little romance, a LOT of kingdoms, fantasy,etc.....

Have to agree with you there. Brandon Sanderson writes really good books (often with a kingdom setting) that can captivate the reader from the start.NovelIdea wrote:One of my absolute FAVOURITES that can fall into this category is Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson (in fact, anything he wrote would be a great novel for you, considering your criteria. Maybe also check out Mistborn... awesome series). The story is set among feuding kingdoms. The greatest currency is souls, which can be given up willingly. A person who collects many souls breaks certain barriers and gets new abilities, like keen sight, better hearing, the ability to see colours outside the spectrum we can normally see, etc.
There are several creatures who are considered Gods. They are people who have died, but have been brought back as these huge, beautiful super-human creatures. Each of them were chosen (by whom, we don`t know) because of something they did in their lifetime. They are reborn with no memories of their past life.
These are just some random facts about the universe... totally interesting. The plot is riveting and I would highly recommend looking it up. Fantastic read, 10 out of 10.
He has an amazing imagination but really thinks the power and magic through coming up with limitations that may occur. With string characters and an even stronger storylines, I would definitely recommend Sanderson to Fantasy readers
