I’m really in the mood for something epic (maybe the real world is just too real atm and my book groups keep picking very depressing reads). I used to read a lot fantasy when I was younger, and with the nights drawing in, I think I’m hankering for something along those lines. I loved the Belgariad, the Dragonlance sagas. Big, long Stephen King novels as well - It, The Stand (though I haven’t read the Dark Tower series - 8 books might be too many). I have read the Lord of the Rings too many times, and just tried to read it again but it’s all messed up in my head with the films now. I’ve dipped in and out of YA fantasy, but I’m not really after all the teenage will-they / won’t-they love stories. I tried the Game of Thrones series a while ago but it didn’t really grab me.
So recommend me something really epic: magic powers, imaginary lands, hand drawn maps, quests etc all welcome.
