What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Bonus points if it isn't by Tolkien.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

Katherine Kerr's Deverry series was my long time favorite growing up. They are still solid books. I honestly wouldn't pick Tolkien, he's not even top ten for me.

I never read much fantasy, but I love Diana Wynne Jones’ Fire and Hemlock. (Does that count?)

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Definitely! Jones is the queen of fantasy fiction, as far as I'm concerned. :D

Is that the one with the sort of...wrird sexual tension between the young girl and the older guy who's a musician?

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

yes

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

Gotcha. I like her work but that aspect of it was a little confusing.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Pamela Dean's "Tam Lin", even though [spoiler!] the actual fantasy bits only appear at the end.

All the same, it's a very lovely book.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[tabaqui]

That's a good book, yes.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

You can't just ask something like that.

I guess it has to be Little, Big by John Crowley. It's just so good and well-written and perfect.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[tabaqui]

C J Cherryh's 'Fortress' series, and Tanith Lee's 'Flat Earth' series.

I used to really love some of the Pern books - Menolly's stuff, mostly - but i'm a bit more 'eh' about them anymore.

I also really loved the Thieve's World shared world books.

Fafherd and the Grey Mouser books.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[kaijinscendre]

The Rivers of London series. I am a slut for urban fantasy (the only kind of fantasy I read).

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

No bonus points for me. Tolkien is my favorite by a wide margin. Everything I want in fantasy is there.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

no bonus points here either but I'll give you a gold star, anon

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[morieris]

Cirque Du Freak.

Unless you count talking rodents, then Hermux Tantamoq.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[philstar22]

Not going to earn bonus points if I give my honest answer. I don't care. I love Tolkien.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

The Belgariad/The Mallorean and The Elenium/The Tamuli all by David and Leigh Eddings. Yeah, yeah, I know they're not perfect and there's a lot to legit complain about them but they're hands down my fav. Partly because I grew up reading them, so for nostalgia, and partly because they remain some of the best 'party gets together and goes EPIC QUESTING' that I've found.

Discworld.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Discworld forever!

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[malurette]

Discworld to the DEATH.

The Seventh Princess by Nick Sullivan

[(Anonymous)]

I don't read much fantasy, but I remember that one well and it must have been over 25 years since I last did.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

That's easy when you don't like Tolkien, lol.

Honestly I don't read a lot of things that would probably qualify as fantasy, so I guess what Discworld novels I have read.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[bur]

It's pretty recent, but it was everything I never knew I always wanted, so:

Philip Reeve's Railhead trilogy. For given definition of fantasy.

The Edge Chronicles comes in as a close second, but that's more because I love a series with dynamic socioeconomics. It seems right that when there's a fifty year time skip things are almost unrecognizable.

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Old Kingdom/Abhorsen series, by a mile!

Re: What's your favorite fantasy novel/book series ever?

Cloud Atlas almost certainly doesn't count, but I read so little fantasy or sci-fi, and there are parts of Cloud Atlas that are a little bit of both those genres, so I'm gonna say Cloud Atlas anyway.

As a kid I loved the Animorphs series. I know that if I were to read any of the books now, the writing would not hold up at all, but I do feel like some of the ideas and world building would still be pretty great.
