Just to update this. Found some old titles I've read in the last year and a half or so that will be going up on greenmet, thought i'd give me reviews first., in case anyone is interested in similar works. Raymond E Feist - Magician 5/5 Raymond E Feist - Silverthorn 4/5 Raymond E Feist - A Darkness at Sethanon 4.5/5 Raymond E Feist - Prince of the Blood 4.5/5 George R.R. Martin - A Game of Thrones 5/5 Naomi Novik - Temeraire 4/5 Tiernan.

Thanks for the advice. Read some reviews. Can't say I've heard of him before now. Usually i just go into the book shop and take a pick at whatever catches my eye and gives a decent review. Ordered the sorwd of shannara on Greenmet there now, going to give it a go.

Hi, as you can tell by the short list over the past couple of years I'm not a very quick reader, and I enjoy reading series of books with a common storyline/characters but i'll try to keep this up to date.

I have only read The Malloreon series by Eddings and I really enjoyed it, although his descriptions take a little time reading and a lot of detail goes into each scene. I would at least recommend trying this series of his books if no other because I believe they are most definitely worth reading. Terry Goodkind however is an author I have plenty of time for. I've read all of the Sword of Truth series and enjoyed every book. He has such a writing style that keeps you intune with the storyline, with the usual twists and turns. The description of scenes is very good and the imagination and characters he uses makes me wonder why his works are perhaps less well known in comparison to other 'popular' fantasy novels. Thats just my opinion though Hope this helps

Hi all, first of all: RIP David Eddings. I have only read The Malloreon series and it was more so because I ran out of books and when out on a whim i'd previously never heard of at that time. I can happily say that I followed on from the first book, looking forward to the rest of the series. I would at least recommend trying this series of his books if no other because I believe they are most definitely worth reading.

Hi, Introducing myself as I've just joined up to the forum. I'm from Northern Ireland, I'm mainly a fantasy/fiction book reader but I have ventured among the natural history, short story books and other genres a little. I'm currently exploring my next book of interest so first of all if there's any recommendations as to a great fantasy book I haven't read please let me know. And please excuse any spelling errors... the fantasy book titles are rather difficult to remember spelling of sometimes To give you some idea of the books I've read: Tolkien's LOTR trilogy Harry Potter books David Eddings titles Terry Goodkind titles Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Susana Clarke) The Bartimeaus Trilogy (Jonathan Stroud)**Most recently read** Raymond E Feist titles Other books: Steven King (Short story compilations and some other fantasy based titles) Terry Pratchett's Discworld books Thanks for any help in advance, I look forward to chatting to some of you on the forums. Tiernan.
