Another science fantasy request list

The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Coglan.

Have you read any Jasper Fforde? He wrote what looked like two series if you read the books in publication order, but they're so much more. Important to read in the right order, at least the first time. Thye are the Thursday Next series and the Nursery Crime series.

I love Margaret Atwood - Oryx & Crake is my particular favourite in this genre but she's written so many which could be classed as fantasy.

Or for more conventional fantasy, wizards and dragons and a quest, my favourite is Raymond E Feist - "Magician". I'm not usually a fan of the wizards and dragons Tolkeinesque fantasy stories but Magician is wonderful.

I also prefer more ‘urban’ fantasy. Lots of good recommendations above but would add:
Vivian Shaw, Dr Greta Helsing series
Daniel O’Malley, Checquy files
Sebastian de castell Spellslinger Series
Tom Pollock: Skyscraper Throne

Also possibly Gail Carriger if you like St Mary’s and Invisible Library. Bit silly but lots of fun. Start with Soulless.

Wheel of time series by Robert Jordan
Anne mcafferry
Def Pratchett
Raymond e Geist

Just to echo recommendations for Lois McMaster Bujold, Diana Wynne Jones and Rosemary Kiersten's Steerswoman series.

PrincessSarene thank you for reminding me about Glenda Larke, I read her 'Heart of the Mirage' series ages okay and was very impressed. I didn't realise she had written other things.

Benedict Jacka
Jim Butcher
Kate Elliott
Lois McMaster Bujold - writes both fantasy and SF

OP it looks like we’ve got really similar taste in authors, so here are some others I’d recommend:

Glenda Larke
Karen Miller
Brent Weeks
Peter V Brett
Anthony Ryan
Mark Lawrence
Stephen Aryan
Sarah J Maas
Tasha Suri
Scott Lynch
Melissa Caruso
Emily R King
James Islington
Janny Wurts
Jay Kristoff
James Maxwell

Does no one else like terry goodkind?

Terry Pratchett satiric genius

Ursula le guin

Robin hobb

George rrr martin

Michael crichton

John wyndham

China Mieville - Perdido Street Station
Marie Brennan - A Natural History of Dragons series
Tade Thompson - Rosewater (Wormwood Trilogy)
And if you want a big chunky series Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn.

Agree with PP about Bear & Nightingale books

If you enjoy Rivers of London then you may like the Crow Investigations series by Sarah Painter.

Have you read White Silence and the follow-on, Dark Light, by Jodi Taylor - still her style but very different from St Mary's. I've just reread the two and was gripped all over again.
Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky - a touch of sentimentality but a good read.
The Book of Etta by Meg Ellison - leaves you thinking.
The Sudden Appearance of Hope - Claire North

I love Isaac Asimov.

Tad Williams, start with The Dragonbone Chair
David Eddings, Belgariad series
Ian Irving, The view from the mirror series

I'd second Diana Wynn Jones, V E Schwab and Benedict Jacka. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is also good, currently a standalone rather than a series - although I also like her YA series.

If you like fantasy with a non-eurocentric myth base then S A Chakraborty's City of Brass series and Tasha Suri's Empire of Sand are both very good. I also really liked The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. If you liked Naomi Novik's Uprooted/Spinning Silver books then check out Katharine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale series (based on Russian folk tales).

Oh yes, Becky Chambers is great. I have read all three. Not sure about the third, tbh, but the other two are fantastic.

I know you op said you weren't keen on robots or space but I agree with Vitty

The Long Way to a Small Angry Plant which I book #1 of Becky Chambers - Wayfarers trilogy. I'm about to re-read the first two again to get ready for the third book.

Becky Chambers - Wayfarers trilogy

Everything mentioned above, plus:
Stephen Donaldson, The Mirror of Her Dreams/Mordant's Need (two book series)
CS Friedman
CJ Cherryh Foreigner series (sci-fi political) and (if you can get them) the Rider pair of books (Cloud's Rider is one, can't remember the other title)

Emma Bull
Garth Nix
Rosemary Kirstein
Patricia McKillip
Robin McKinley
TA White
Jessie Mihalik
Kristen Britain
Jan Siegal
Amanda Hemingway
Martha Wells
Scott Lynch

Agree with thatlibrarymiss the second book of Dark is Rising is really when the story lifts off. Its a bit like Narnia, in that you get the most from book 1 by reading book 2 first. Just a note of caution, I love it but as it has a real world setting I suspect it may feel dated to someone reading it now.

Agree about Guy Gavriel Kay, if you haven't read 'Tigana' do search it out, the central premise is wonderfully played out.

Garth NIx's Abhorsen series - Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen and Goldenhand - are YA but very good.

Start Terry Pratchett's Discworld with either Guards! Guards! or Wyrd Sisters. He's pretty much got into his stride by then and the world's internally consistent. Don't bother with the ones after I Shall Wear Midnight, just remember what a wonderful writer he was before the Alzheimer's robbed him and the world of his humour and intellect.

The next Rivers of London, False Value, is supposed to be out on 20th February but the publication date's already slipped once. After publication date of The Hanging Tree got pushed by about two years I won't be pre-ordering.

Don't judge The Dark is Rising by the first book, Over Sea, Under Stone. It's just setting the scene for The Dark is Rising, a much better book IMO.
