I’m looking for books that are similar to the World of Warcraft ones (so like fantasy and nothing too crude in it). I’ve read LoTR and the Sword of Shannara series already based on recommendations from an old thread I made. Now I need more books. Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if they’re not like what I’m looking for
Because the Doom books (by Dafydd ab Hugh) were pretty fun to read. They’re not award winners like what other people might suggest, but still a fun read.
Side note: Glen Cook is a highly recommended author I personally couldn’t stand. He uses very short sentences and I found it super annoying, so read a sample before buying.
I love that book. He has a very poetic style that turns some people off because you can read sentence 5 times and still not know what is going on. I spent a lot of time looking stuff up years ago on my first read.
uhhh i really liked
Brothers in Arms and Dragons of a Fallen Sun from the Dragonlance series
The Devils Armor by John Marco
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (New Spring specifically)
there are a ton of novels based on video games, Diablo and Hellgate have their own, Assassins Creed too
As many have mentioned, Brandon Sanderson is a good choice, either the Mistborn series or the Way of Kings is a good place to start. If you enjoyed Terry Brooks Sword, read Elfstones, it’s far superior to Sword. Wishsong is great as well but the Heritage of Shannara books are probably Terry at his best (also First King ties in nicely). You could also try out L.E. Modesitt, either his expansive Recluse series or his newer Imager series (which I’m currently rereading now). Those are just some recommendations off the top of my head. Anyway hope you find something enjoyable to read from all these replies
The Eye of the World is still one of my favorite books. However, after that each book was worse than the previous one. Although I think Brandon Sanderson closed out the series nicely.
