David Eddings...Hey Caitlin, thanks for stopping by. David Eddings is definitely a good author to start with. Many fantasy readers say that he was their entry into the genre. Another one of my early fantasy series was the Xanth books by Piers Anthony which I loved. It's a humorous series of books full of magic and puns and they are a lot of fun to read. If you like romance then you should read C.L Wilson's book Tairen Souls Series, which I love, and Lois McMaster Bujold's The Sharing Knife. Both great fantasies with a strong element of romance. And finally, there is my current favorite fantasy author, Brandon Sanderson. His recent book, Warbreaker is my favorite fantasy of the year, though if you find the large size intimidating you can start with Elentris, which was his debut novel.<br /><br />That should do for now :)<br />If you read any of these books come back and tell me what you thought of them.<br />Happy reading!Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-24877704965795716242009-12-07T23:13:52.548-05:002009-12-07T23:13:52.548-05:00Hey,just started a Fantasy Book Challenge and am n...Hey,just started a Fantasy Book Challenge and am not a huge fantasy reader I read some but I'm more into Urban Fantasy so this book sounds good any other suggestions?Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526274349952254229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-34376070539576240032009-12-02T19:44:52.508-05:002009-12-02T19:44:52.508-05:00I'm so glad to run into someone who enjoys the...I'm so glad to run into someone who enjoys these books as much as I do.

Although some people turn their nose up at Eddings and Terry Brooks and claim these books are boring and predictable, I enjoy them. It's almost like going on a quest yourself :)Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-69575575867739323652009-11-30T06:09:30.714-05:002009-11-30T06:09:30.714-05:00Hi Simcha, please visit:http://aloneinholyland.blo...Hi Simcha, please visit:http://aloneinholyland.blogspot.com/2009/11/time-for-some-awards.html<br />as you have an award waiting for you!<br />x<br />RamonaAlone in Holy Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117747490042171507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-24354150762674026622009-11-29T20:33:08.398-05:002009-11-29T20:33:08.398-05:00I have to admit that I have not read anything by E...I have to admit that I have not read anything by Eddings yet. I really should pick up one of his books, or series, and read them. I see the name a lot and just have not made the time to read them.<br /><br />Thanks for the great review. You really made the book sound very enjoyable.Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.com
