There are so many fantasy titles that I absolutely love, but I found that only a few of them have a certain appeal that makes them recommendable to the masses. Whenever I used to hand a book to a customer, I’d always stress about whether they were going to like it as much as I did. I’d always say, “If I see you again, please let me know if you liked it because if you did I can recommend more like it, and if not we can go in a different direction.” More often than not, I would never see that person again and just had to hope that my assessment of their reading tastes was accurate. Over the course of the eleven years I sold books, there were enough repeat customers who came back with positive feedback on these titles I began trusting their recommendability to most people. Now having been a part of the book blogosphere for three years, that opinion has only been reinforced by great reviews from my fellow bloggers. I give you:
Top Ten Fantasy Books I Recommend the Most!
- The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke
- The Name the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
- Dragon Weather by Lawrence Watt-Evans
- Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb
- The Legend of Eli Monpress by Rachel Aaron
- The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
- The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
- Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
- Thief’s Gamble by Juliet E. McKenna
- Magician Apprentice by Raymond E. Feist
Every once in a while someone will throw me for a loop by saying they totally hated a book from this list, but those people are few and far between. I’m not saying I guarantee you’ll like everything on this list, but if you’re looking for something new to try, I feel like this is a really great place to start. :-)
