[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 4423447, member: 3649"] Naomi Novik, definately. Scott Lynch, for the Lie of Locke Lamora and it's sequel; his website says he has about a dozen of the Gentleman Bastard books planned. Charles de Lint, especially the Newford books. Patricia Briggs. She tends to do 2-book series, save for her Mercy modern fantasy books. I think right now I've read everything she's done except for The Hob's Bargain and I've liked them all. Lynn Flewelling: the Nightrunner series and the related Tamir trilogy. Lawrence Watt-Evans, still going strong with the Ethshar books; good mostly light-hearted fantasy. His Wizard Lord series is also good. Peter F Hamilton - Best space opera I've read in years and years. Huge, galaxy-spanning events, titanic planet-scale engineering, etc. Jim Butcher - The Codex Alera is fantasy but D&Ders will get just as much good from his Harry Dresden series. Simon R Green - The Nightside books and his new Shaman Bond series. Quick, frothy books that resemble each other a great deal but the [I]concepts [/I] and [I]names [/I]he just tosses out there should keep you in plot hooks for several months or longer. He really, [I]really [/I]loves the word 'Appalling', just to warn you. Charlaine Harries - The Southern Vampire books (and soon a TV series from HBO). Good treatment of the undead and lycanthropes; set in an alternate modern day, but plenty of info and hooks for D&D. Greg Keyes, especially his Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series that should be wrapping up pretty soon, here. Kate Elliot - Spirit Gate and Shadow Gate, Crossroads books 1 and 2. Good fantasy setting. She takes a long time setting up characters, delving into their backgrounds and motivations, and still manages to tell a good adventure story. Especially good for templates of power groups and how they interact, different culture's approaches to the same problems, superstitions, etc. Her previous series, Crown of Stars, is also worth checking out but I like this series much better. Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind, Kingkiller book #1. Excellent fantasy world, with some very nice variations on certain themes (especially dragons and alchemy). [/QUOTE]
