Re: book recs?
(Anonymous) 2013-04-16 06:46 am (UTC)(link)Someone above recommended Eddings and I rather like some of the novels by him (and his wife), specifically The Belgariad. My favorite novel by Eddings is The Redemption of Athalus. However, all of the books I've found to be rather light in reading - so intrigue offered by say Martin or the sheer density of information offered by Tolkien really isn't there.
Along the same lines as Eddings, have you considered the Dragonlance or the Forgotten Realms novels? They can be pretty hit or miss, but for the most part the characters themselves (Raistlin, Drizzt, etc) are fairly enjoyable. My particular favorites are the War of the Spider Queen novels, but I've a fondness for the drow and don't mind the continuity errors that crop up from having multiple authors write that particular series.
In a similar vein to Martin with a gritty, realistic fantasy world and morally ambiguous characters, I really recommend Glen Cook's The Black Company and The Dread Empire (I favor the former). I also really enjoy his fantasy detective series Garrett P.I., but it's certainly more light-hearted in comparison to his other books.
Finally, if you aren't opposed to erotica, I love Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart series.
