The Night Angel Trilogy
AuthorBrent Weeks
It takes a special kind of author to write three books and have them sold consecutively on a monthly basis… Typically a fantasy trilogy will take between three and four years from the first through until the last book is released. This allows time for readers to finish a book, have a bit of a change and...

The Great Book of Amber
AuthorRoger Zelazny
ISBN0380809060
I adore this series. I have read and re-read this book since high school. What can I say? It captured my imagination and has kept ahold of it for years. This was the work that Zelazny worked on through his career. I think it is what he wrote for fun. It isn't complicated but it is epic.

Imagine that...

The Riftwar Saga
AuthorRaymond E. Feist
ISBN0553333240
Here is a fantasy series filled with tropes... but it worked, nicely. It falls somewhere in-between what I'd consider 'High Fantasy' and 'contemporary fantasy'. If you're looking for some zany type fantasy world that you hadn't imagined, I wouldn't suggest this series. But if you like your dwarves...
Tapping the Dream Tree

World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Onion Girl

Under the Mountain
AuthorMaurice Gee
ISBN0195580400
This book and the subsequent TV series left such an impression on me that I still can't look at Rangitoto without thinking about slimy aliens, giant worms and those cool glowing stones. I wanted one just as much as I wanted my own lightsabre.

Undoubtedly a New Zealand classic. The only reason...
