Awesome Novels
I'm always looking for a good fantasy fiction novel, or series to dig in to. Others here may be too. Please post any that you have enjoyed in the past or enjoying now and share! A Song of Ice and Fire is one series by George R. R. Martin I've been reading for years and waiting... for Winds of Winter. The novels are great, but never indulged in the HBO show. T.V. and movies have a tendency to shank the real story sometimes. So... here I wait patiently for Winds of Winter. xD

Good series I have read recently ...
The one which comes to mind is the Spells, Sorcery and Stealth series, starting with NPCs, then Split the Party, then Going Rogue. It is a series that starts with a group of RP'ers around a table who all suddenly die ... but is really about a group of reluctant adventurers who find a bunch of dead bodies in the pub that one of them owns ... Hopefully you get the picture. It is about the NPCs in the real world of a D and D type RPG. It is amazing and honestly fantastic. Amazing character development, amazing people.

That sounds interesting to read! I've also been reading The Saga of Recluse series by L. E. Modesitt Jr. too. It's pretty interesting and captivating.
-
The Belgariad series by David Eddings was pretty good.
-
Belgariad and Recluce are fantastic - Modesitt's other storyline about Imagers (can't remember the names) is also good.
Piers Anthony's Xanth series is fun if you like puns and poking fun at magic; The Wizard in Rhyme series by Christopher Stasheff is also a good, long running series.
-
Abhorsen series by Garth Nix is always good :)
-
I'm not high on fantasy fiction nowadays, but the Johannes Cabal books by Jonathan L. Howard are very neat.

I enjoy "The Kingdom Series" as well as it's sister Series "The Knights of Arrethtrea" by Chuck Black. Another series I enjoy is the "Tales of Redwall" by Brian Jacques. Of course there is also the "Inheritance Cycle" by Christopher Paolini, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C. S. Lewis, and of course "The Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien. All of them are great books though I don't know many people who haven't at least heard of the last two. If you want a more modernistic fantasy try "The Giver Series" by Lois Lowry. The fist book doesn't have much of a fantasy element to it but it becomes more fantasy as the series progress.

Shut your mouth and go and read In The Name of the Wind and the Gentleman Bastard series right this minute.
That is all.
