I need a new book or series. I really like books where you watch characters develop. Such as night angel trilogy, assassins apprentice, rangers apprentice. King killer chronicles.

Have you read Eragon?
Codex Alera was pretty good, an awesome story line, especially if you like ancient Roman type stuff.

I also read a really good historical fiction about Julius Caesar which began when he was about 6 and followed him all the way until his death spanning 3 books I think. It has some great character development and I found it interesting. Plenty of action. The first book is called The Gates of Rome.

The Stormlight Archives- Brandon Sanderson. One of my new favorite series. Great character development as well, of course.
Also Mistborn by him is good.

The allie beckstrom series is good by devon monk. 9 book series. But its not as many years as night angel is being him from young kid to adult as allie beckstrom series is probly only a year time frame from first to last book

Would suggest night angel as well but you read that lol.

Eragon is a very good book as he mention as well probly best trilogy i ever read.

Harry potter is okay to if into those books. As over 7 year period

Codex Alera series being pretty good is a understatement I loved that series. just downloaded The Dresden Files by jim butcher as well.

yea Fantasy in the Video department has not been flooded , 2014

so books about epic dragons and leaping swords would be a good guess

I think reason is it takes money to make a good fantasy movie

but I like fantasy movies
