I challenge you to direct me to male-written fantasy novels that aren't.

This.

Heck, I challenge you to direct me to female-written fantasy novels that aren't female fantasy.

Innie, outtie, or other - at some point someone's gonna' be typing with one hand.

Farseer series

What, by Robin Hobb? With the tempestuous redhead author avatar who gets with what she herself describes as the two hottest guys in the series, and the fangirl representation of homosexuality?

Lawl, try again.

Should add that I still adored the Farseer trilogy - much as I love GRRM's stuff - but much of it is shameless fe/male fantasy, sry2say.

Mary Gentle's "Ash: A Secret History"
K J Parker's "The Hammer"

Haven't read them, but I will give them a shot!

Mary Gentle's "Grunts".

Emily Rodda's Deltora Quest.

Granted, it's a children's series, but I find it far better written than a lot of adult ones. (I have so much praise for the series, it's ridiculous. Just don't let the cliched sounding plot put you off. EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED AND MAKES SENSE LOGICALLY.)

Right, posted a reply, but it seems to not have gotten through, so apologizing if you're reading this again.

Emily Rodda's Deltora Quest.

It's a children's series, but it's brilliantly written and every single fantasy trope it uses MAKES SENSE LOGICALLY. Like the plot has the heroes travelling around the land trying to collect seven magic jewels in various dangerous places that, once reunited, would banish the Shadow Lord in control of the land. Reason why the Shadow Lord hasn't destroyed the jewels? Because the jewels are magic talismans from seven different parts of the land, gifts from the land that cannot be destroyed and cannot be taken outside of the country's borders. Reason why they're scattered is because once separated from each other, each jewel longs to return to the place it originated from and bends the will of the carrier to take it there. Maybe I haven't read enough fantasy, but I like it when the author takes out a little bit of their time to explain stuff like this instead of handwaving it. (Plus, the series has kick ass females.)

Ursula K. Le Guin and possibly Patricia McKillip for the ladies... and Philip Pullman for the men? I have issues with that guy's writing, but they're unrelated to the topic at hand. P: Michael Ende, too!

I think the Mistborn Trilogy is pretty good.

Never read it. Will give it a shot?

Yeah, you might like it. =) It's set in a post-apocalyptic world (not modern though) where ash rains constantly and there are people who are mist born and there are others who can only control one metal. It's a really interesting fantasy take on having a power, and there's some physics involved too haha, so I like that. It's by Brandon Sanderson. He's best known for helping finish the Wheel of Time series after the author passed away a few years ago.

(Oh hey, I know you! :D)

I was about to say this! I'll add Warbreaker to that. Two of the three POVs are kickass ladies, and neither is objectified! (Which is something I like about Brandon Sanderson's works in general--I don't get the creepy feeling that I'm looking into his id.)

You do? o_o; From where?

And yeah I did enjoy Warbreaker but I didn't like the ending. I thought he dawdled a bit in the middle and could have spent more time with the younger and older sister because their sudden character development seemed a bit quick since it was towards the end. I might be appeased if there's a sequel haha.

But yes I like that about his work as well. =)

The author's a proudly homophobic Mormon.

Well, I didn't know that and I haven't read that in his works, so it shouldn't have any bearing on trying out a series by him, I think.

Sabriel and the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix.

BAM, bitch.

I'll give that a shot!

Trilogy? Aren't there four books?

Or is Across the Wall not part of it. ~~I've only just started Abhorsen after finishing up Imperium loool~~

Across the Wall is a short story collection, although it does contain an Abhorsen novella.

Has no-one read any of his other books? Seriously, Shade's Children was awesome.

Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn.
