Recomendation?

I hope ye dont mind me starting a new thresd for this but im all out of ideas. Recently I have finished two trilogy's by Trudi Canaven, The Black Magican trilogy and the Age Of the Five trilogy. My dilemma is that I absolutely loved these books and she has no new work out for a few more months, Her writing is fantasy (my discription) and involves magic and wizards, sorcerers, priests and priestess and the like. This was the first of these types of books I've read, before it was mainly John Grisham and Robert Ludlum and similar authors but id like to keep in the same mould of Trudi for the time being if ye could recommend some Id be very grateful. I've been bookless for eight days now!

I suggest you have a look at Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. They're quite similar to Canavan, as in fantasy and are very enjoyable.

Thanks Ill look him up and see what they seem like.

Robin Hobb also writes in a similar way, the first of hers to read would be the Assassin trilogy, they're a great read, some of my favourites.

the Song of Ice and fire series by George RR martin is quite good but a bit of a wait for the latest volume.

far superior imho is the malazan Series by Steven Eriksson. much harder to get into but much much more rewarding. there is also a sister series by Ian Esselmont set in the same world with some of the same characters.

as Lemon Sherbert says, Robin Hobb is excellent, especially the farseer trilogy. The soldiers son trilogy was a bit dissappointing though and be prepared, Hobb can be quite depressing to read.

+100 for George RR Martin.

Not sure why you'd have to wait for the latest book though! Might as well start at the beginning.

Most bookshops will have some or all of the books mentioned so it really depends on where you prefer to shop.

Magician By Raymond E. Feist part of the raiftwar saga 3 books in total

Going from your interest in fantasty, you'll love this book!

Codofwar

I was looking at feist's books alright but as there was always so many there I didn't know where it started or ended. Cheers.

Feist's Riftwar stuff is good alright, but 'fluffier' compared to George RR Martin's series (and doesn't hold a candle too it either, imo).

It all depends what you want.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the unbeliever,Stephen Donaldson was a good series of books if i remember rightly.

All the stuff mentioned above is pretty great.

Personally, I'd go with the "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" trilogy by Tad Williams.
