Fantasy/magic recommendations please

The Dresden Files. Really good series.

Have you read any Tad Williams? He's good.
I know it's YA/children's, but I really liked the Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeve, the three prequels we're good too.

Benedict Jacka

Terry Pratchett, obviously- because they're funny, clever and no hint of dystopia.

I have to agree with Errol. No doubt, Errol, you’d recommend the City Watch series and so would I!

Yes, and also the witches. And Small Gods. And ... well, that's enough to start with.

I love David Eddings - first series the belgariad is 5 books

Definitely Terry Pratchett, but not The Colour of Magic.

Benedict Jacka

I came on to say that too.

@ErrolTheDragon don’t forget Going Postal...!

And The Last Hero...

Oh, and @ErrolTheDragon - The Turtle Moves 😉

Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch
Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
Dragon Precinct series by Keith R. A. Decandido - Law and Order meets Dungeons and Dragons

The Dragoon Knight series by Gordon R. Dickson
The Riverboat series by Philip Jose Farmer
Hollows series by Kim Harrison

The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman is quite good. Pretty light reading but engaging.

Yes yes to uprooted!!

Anything by brandon sanderson. Start with mistborn or his standalone books warbreaker is a good one. Steelheart is an awesome twist on superheroes that reads more like a fantasy.

The thousand kingdoms by Jensins is excellent.

The temerare series is AMAZING like master and commander naval series but with dragons. Sounds naff but is excellent and true to period.

The live ships series by Robin hobb

One big surprise for me has been Dan Wells I am not a serial killer. Don't read about it before hand...Just go for it. Creepy rather then scary.

Robin Hobb trilogy series - Farseer, Liveship, Golden Fool(?), and whatever the last trilogy is - all in the same world.

Name of the wind. It's on all the best of lists for good reason.

What excellent taste, can we be friends? 🙂

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and its sequel The Wise Man's Fear. Final book of the trilogy due out fairly soon (after years of waiting by impatient fans!). The Name of the Wind is my favourite book of all time!

The Greta Helsing series is really good fun (though she lost her way a bit in the third I think). I'm really enjoying the Night Raven books by Sarah Painter.
If you like the 'technical magic' part of Ben Aaronovitch, then Charles Stross is worth a go. I love his Lovecraftian world

There is a good amateur work called the choice of magic, self published on Amazon which is good. Only 2 out of the three out but it's well done and cheap!

Final book of the trilogy due out fairly soon Is it actually or is that just a vicious rumour to punish rothfuss fans? (I'm pretty fed up of waiting now)

The Binding (new one out)

Uprooted by Naomi Novik - I loved it and remarkably cliche-free unlike most other fantasy novels
