Last fantasy book you have read?

Post by keisha_jc »

I have been attempting to find a few good books to read after Jane Eyre, which I am reading now, but I can't seem to find any that are appealing enough or really jumping out! I am open to suggestions and ratings, but please no spoilers! Any books are appreciated!

My fave urban fantasy series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I've read them all and the one that I still can't move forward from is Styxx's novel. I would definitely recommend them.

The last fantasy book I read was Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas. I found it to be very action packed and an emotion roller coaster. I love Sarah J Maas' writing style and the different perspective throughout the story gives the book more depth. I cannot wait for the rest of the Throne of Glass series!! Anyone else agree?

The last fantasy novel I read was Kindred by Erica Stevens. If you are into Vampires and Vampire hunters then I really recommend this book. It has some action along with some romance.

I have very much enjoyed the Shannara serie of books by Terry Brooks. The best group would have to be The High Druid of Shannara trilogy.

Red Seas Under Red Skies (Book 2 of Gentleman Bastards) by Scott Lynch. I reckon I better read the next one, before reading another book from the same genre. I wouldn't want anything to ruin the great experience :-)

I read lots and lots of Fantasy Books. Right now, for me the author of "du jour" is Lindsay J. Pryor with her BlackThorn series. Totally Urban Fantasy, with lots of suspense, sensuality and a plot that will keep most of the reader glued to the book from page 1 of book 1 to then end of the page of the most recent book of her series. What I like the most about Lindsay J. Pryor is that she doesn't lingers forever in one series. And, what I mean by that is that she already announced at her website that this series will have only 8 books and that's it.

Another Author of the Paranormal/Fantasy style that I like very much is Dannika Dark. I absolutely love her mageri series. Highly recommend, if you are a die hard fan of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal/ Romance genre.

I took the liberty of looking at your bookshelf and saw you've read A Game of Thrones... I highly recommend continuing the series. A Clash of Kings suffers from middle book syndrome but A Storm of Swords is quite possibly some of the very best fantasy fiction in print. It is, in a word, incredible... Like Arya Stark.

There's Terry Pratchet's Discworld series, I particularly like the City Watch books but maybe you'd enjoy his Witches books more than I did?

Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere is pretty good too, though the resolution left me underwelmed.

I also read Emma Bull's War for the Oaks recently, though it's more of a paranormal romance than an urban fantasy.

I would also recommend Terry Pratchett. The Discworld series is written in such a way that, nevermind if you have read the books in order, you will be able to follow the story and adventures. I specifically love the novels about Tiffany Aching with the Wee Free Men. Superb!

Hi! I read just through the Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas and it was phenomenal. I also liked the Fire and Thorns series by Rae Carson. Both series have strong female protagonists and interesting plot twists.
