I just found out this was part of a series, can't vouch for the others but I do intend on reading them.

I like a lot of classic sci-fi like Asimov, Herbert and Heinlein. But I'm sure they've all already been mentioned.

Incarceron - It's about an over populated world and a jail (pretty cool)

This is a trilogy (with only two books at this stage) that i have fallen in love with because of Patrick Rothfuss' incredible style and amazing imagination. Normally i don't enjoy books that flip between two different time zones as this one does, but the interview style of the book makes it seem more like a memoir than just an ordinary story. The element of mystery that accompanies Kvoth, the main character, is ongoing and addictive, and the life he leads is so unfortunate its realistic, despite the fantastic setting. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a serious book to sink their teeth into (his style means you can't really skim-read, but his writing is so beautiful you wouldn't want to), and someone who doesn't mind waiting for the next book to come out. When you read NotW and the second book, The Wise Man's Fear, you can see why it takes him so long to write, as his prose seems utterly perfect, but appreciation of anticipation is essential.

I actually just started reading Sabriel. I'm 130 some pages in and loving it so far.georgiagravel90 wrote:One of my all time favourite Fantasy Series is the Abohorsen Triology: Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen, by Garth Nix. Nix creates a world which manages to encompass both the modern age and a realm of fantasy. These books explore magic in a whole new light. They are truly suspenseful; and the dabble in death of necromancy is scary yet oddly gripping! (who said reading can't produce adrenaline?!) I highly recommend these novels.

I can honestly say that The Name of the Wind was my first "book hangover". I couldn't enjoy the writing of any other author for, what seemed like, months. His writing is magical and completely beautiful.JRosedale10 wrote:The Name of the Wind

My own personal recommendations would be the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (book 1), Siege and Storm (book 2), and Ruin and Rising (book 3).
In this series you meet two normal people who are thrust into a very abnormal situation crossing "The Unsea". The Unsea is similar to a dead sea that cuts through the center of the country. Once one crosses into the Unsea they are met with a vasting nothingness that brings monsters out for human and Grisha blood. The only people who can fight these monsters are The Grisha, people who were born into a sorcereric power.
