Eragon, Eldest & Brisingr
AuthorChristopher Paolini
ISBN0375846158
This was probably the only series I ever read that could compete (and possibly beat) the Harry Potter series! I read the whole series in less than a week and there are a lot of pages all together. My favorite one is Brisingr but you have to read the whole series, start to finish, to understand what's going...
The Eye of the World
AuthorRobert Jordan
ISBN0812511816
The first series that showed it was possible to do an uninspired rewrite of Tolkien and make a mint was Shannara. After that the doors were flung wide, and the next to profit off the scheme was was Robert Jordan. Of course, I'm not suggesting it's bad to take inspiration from older authors--all authors...

The Dark Elf Trilogy Collector's Edition
AuthorR.A. Salvatore
ISBN0786915889
At first I berated myself for lumping the whole trilogy together before I would give my review; however, after finishing Sojourn, I am glad that I held my review until I got the perspective of all three books.

In a word: fantastic.

At first, I was unimpressed with Homeland, not liking...
The Way of Kings
AuthorBrandon Sanderson
ISBN0765326353

The Great Hunt
AuthorRobert Jordan
ISBN0812517725
I say this all of the time, but reading old school fantasy books is like reading with a friend. And they remind me of when I was young. I don't know why. Maybe because I'm old school.



Happy Reading!

The Charwoman's Shadow
AuthorLord Dunsany
ISBN0345431928
Do not let the uninspired (and uninspiring) cover of the Del Rey edition to keep you away from this masterpiece, an exquisite counterpart for the first Shadow Valley chronicle.
This time the protagonist follows not the ways of the sword, as Don Rodriguez did in the first chronicle, but the ways of...
