I did a TTT similar to this many moons ago so I need to apologize to the handful of you who have been following me since then. I normally don’t repeat topics, but I strongly feel that these authors deserve just as much of a spotlight as the well-known mainstream authors (if not more). Talking about brilliant authors most people haven’t discovered yet is why I love being a bookseller and a book blogger. It’s impossible to read all the books, so you might as well read the best. I should point out that these authors may not be technically “underrated” but they are certainly deserving of more recognition!
Top Ten Underrated Fantasy Authors!
Not only are these epic, well-rounded fantasies, but also happened to be among my all-time favorites. Their writing, plots, characters, and world-building are phenomenal and on par with (and in some cases better than) any other fantasies on the market. These authors deserve kudos for their amazing story-telling, and I plan to continue championing them for as long as I can. If you love fantasy and need some good reading, this is a great place to start!
Thanks for the recommendations! I love reading fantasy, and now I have a whole new load of books on my TBR!

I’ve read a couple of these books, and I like Carey’s series, including the sort of related Moirin’s Trilogy, and the urban fantasy Santa Olivia series. But I know why a lot of people don’t like her–she’s not conservative with her relationships and sex scenes at all.

You know, you make a really good point about the Carey books. I love the story, world building, and characters so much that I manage to forget that important detail when talking about them. I’ve not read Olivia’s books yet, but their premises sound right up my alley.

These high fantasies look amazing, the only one I’m familiar with is Kushiel’s Dart. Bookmarking for future reference.
