What to read after Lord of,the Rings?

[BaconAndAvocado]

This post is for DS aged 15.

He has been GLUED to these books over past couple of weeks,so I want to keep the momentum going!

Has he read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman? Not orcs and the like but still fantasy style.

[catellington]

Try George McDonald

[catellington]

I think or might be Macdonald

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

Eragon.
A Song of Ice and Fire.
That endless series by Robert Jordan.

I'm getting déja vu.

[Heartbrokenmum73]

The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (14 books - and it's actually complete, unlike George R R Martin's sodding Song of Ice and Fire series, which is excellent, but you'll be waiting a long time for the finale).

Anything by the wonderful Terry Brooks (who I started with on my 14th birthday and still read to this day, 26 years later), but start with The Sword of Shannara.

Robin Hobb - start with The Farseer Trilogy.

The Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman.

[delusionsofadequacy]

The name of the wind by Pat Rothfuss is also good. I second the Robin Hobb books as well. Also has he read any terry pratchett?

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

Ooh yes, I like the Farseer books too.

[BaconAndAvocado]

Wow! Thanks all, will have a gander on amazon.

Terry Pratchett is an author I've heard of, is he quite funny as well as doing the fantasy bit?

[MonstersBalls]

He could try Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance.

I'm on Book 14 of the Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan) and would definitely recommend.

Raymond Feist is a great fantasy author - I'd start with Magician

[delusionsofadequacy]

Very funny, they are a bit adult humour wise but I think I was about fourteen when I started reading them and I 'got' the jokes. There is no swearing or rude humour though which is good. I still read them now and there is around thirty of them so plenty to get his teeth into

[GoingGoingGoth]

Definitely recommend Robert Jordan (despite LOTR similarities)
Terry Pratchett is my favorite author
Julian May is good
Anne McCaffrey if he likes dragons
David Eddings may be a bit easy for him

Raymond E Fiest, 1st 5 - 6 books are brilliant, later ones are still good.
The Daughter of the Empire series with Jenny Wurts are also good

I have all these waiting for DD to be ready to read them

[Jackthebodiless]

Julian May definitely.
And Pratchett.
Also Frank Herbert's Dune.

[GoingGoingGoth]

Jack (cool name) I can't believe I forgot Dune (the original 6), the prequels/sequels are ok-ish.

[Backonthefence]

Brandon Sanderson is pretty good (he finished off the wheel of time saga)

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. And probably The Game of Thrones series (but, whispers, I think they are pretty rubbish).

[OneHolyCow]

The Earthsea trilogy by Ursula le Guinn.

[RalphRecklessCardew]

I rather loved Game of Thrones.

[CoteDAzur]

Dune books by Frank Herbert

I'm talking about the first 6 books actually written by him, not the "prequels" later written by his son.

[Jackthebodiless]

I agree with Cote and Goth, only the Dunes written by Frank Herbert alone are classics, don't get the ones by his son by mistake, as the covers look very similar.

[IndridCold]

Another vote for the Ursula ld Guin Earthsea books (happily there are now more than three!).

Also Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy.

[bebumba]

Once And Future King TH White about the legend of king Arthur my 14yr old ds got it for Christmas and hasn't put it down yet.
