But can you guys give me a list of your favorite fantasy novels/series.

 

My list goes like this.

 

1. WoT

2. The Malazan Book of the Fallen

3. The death gate cycle

4. LoTR

1. The Wheel of Time

2. The Lord of the Rings

3. Otherland

4. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn

5. Redwall

6. A Song of Ice and Fire

7. Dark Tower

8. Chronicles of Narnia

9. His Dark Materials

10. Chronicles of Amber

11. Foundation Trilogy

12. Kingkiller Chronicles

13. Gentleman Bastards

14. Prydain Chronicles

15. Mistborn

16. Shadowmarch

17. Merlin Trilogy + Wicked Day

18. Sword of Truth

19. Harry Potter

20. Malazan Book of the Fallen

 

 

1. Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind

2. Green Rider series by Kirsten Britain

3. The Banned and the Banished by James Clemens

4. The Quickening Trilogy by Fiona McIntosh

5. Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey

 

Those are the ones that spring off the top of my head. You will notice that neither Lord of the Rings nor Wheel of Time are on it. I never liked LotR, and I have an on/off relationship with WoT. It is currently in the "off" situation.
