I really enjoyed these series:
The Wheel of Time
Drenai Serie
Legend of the Seeker (Sword of Truth)
Riftwar Cycle
The Forgotten Realms
Eragon
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (tho haven't read the last 2 books there I think)

So something like these would be great. And if you don't know what sort of books these are I want some "Middle Ages" story setting, with sword and bows and some magic in it. :] Almost any kind of fantasy books with swords + magic and rather no "technology" like guns, cars etc in it.

Would be awesome :]

check out the Deverry series by Katherine Kerr

its sword n sheild age books but set in a more gaelic setting, duns and tieryns rather than kingdoms and fiefdoms

you might try sword of shannara


also, ABSOLUTLEY buy Debt of bones (prequel to sword of truth) and Law of Nines (year 2000-esq pairing to Sword of Truths alternate world created by richard, its very good)



its unlikely youve even scratched the surface on forgotten realms, theres dozens of authors, hundreds of books, dozens of games, and i think theres a few movies as well

I'm reading the Deverry series atm ^^ I'm on the third book (swedish version) and I REALLY enjoy it, lovely how they describe all the dweomer and how it's working and so on.

ooh sword of shannara, isnt that by Terry Brook or something? I think I've read the first book and took a pause from reading after that, kinda good if I remember correctly.

Will deffo try out Debt of Bones of course and Law of Nines if it's related to the Sword of Truth!

True enough on the Forgotten realms topic And I haven't read all the books that R A Salvatore has written :/

but thx a lot for advices ofc :] Looking forward for more

RA salvatore is just one author out of dozens writing under FR

i just finished the 3rd deverry book, seeking to buy the 4th now and reading the 2nd book in RA Salvatores highwayman series (the highwayman is a very good book too)


You would probably LOVE Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, and the semi-sequel World Without End

Follett is an amazing author, all fiction, but extensivly researched and set in true-to-period settings, very well written
if you do like follett, Whiteout and A Dangerous Fortune are good too, theres others but i cant remember them off the top of my head


Bookmark this topic :-P ive listed too many to remember

Mhm :DTrue enough

I've finished the second book of Deverry Series but in swedish, so dno if thats like first or second in english >< Tho I've read those before they're still AWESOME, I really like old man Nevyn and Salamander ^^

Mhm, I'll check those books you rec'ed, perhaps they seem good

Btw have you read Book of Words or Sword of Shadows? By J V Jones, they're AMAZING tho haven't read all of the Book of Words, can't find the second book >< If you haven't I really recommend those tbh :]

i will keep an eye out for them, going to a book exchange store today but the selection always differs obviously


thats where i got my 3 deverry books, paid like $5 + 2 books for all 3

Hehe:D You should They're amazing written detailed and so! I so love them, gonna buy them when I can find them, and still waiting for last book to come out

I want something like that too I think my sis bought two of the TwoT series books vs like 3 dollar or so but dno where

just gotta keep your eye out for used bookshops, they usuall sell for 1/2 the printed price rounded down

omg, thats amazing tbh Tho I would need a bigger book shelf But I'll probably do just that

You got any other books to rec btw?;d or perhaps a good manga? same "style" :]

found a jvjones book but it was the 2nd in the sword of shadows series and the 2nd hand bookstore didnt have the first


Picked up some Clive Cussler, Ken Follett, and William Dietz


this 2nd hand store is pretty epic, she does a swap program where you bring in old books and when you use store credit you can use all but $.50 and pay the rest in cash




manga...omg

Blade of the immortal is EPIC
uum, Love hina is pretty good and so is Chobits
Trigun

trying to remember others, i will post em if i do
