[QUOTE="takyris, post: 3071747, member: 5171"] If you're determined to try one of them, I'd go ahead and try both, ideally from the library or used bookstore. I'd read Rhapsody if you generally like gaming fiction, and Wayfarer Redemption if you like stuff like, say, Goodkind. On the epic fantasy track, the things I'd recommend offhand include: - The Farseer Trilogy (Robin Hobb) (And there are two more trilogies in this world if you like this) - Gregory Keyes' "Briar King" and "Charnel Prince" (the third is out in hardcover, but I haven't read it yet) - Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar trilogy (his other books have much less magic, although I highly recommend them if you like historical fantasy -- I loved Tigana and A Song for Arbonne) - Michael Stackpole's "Dark Glory War", which I didn't love, but which I consider better gaming fiction than "Rhapsody", personally I've spent most of this year alternating between Guy Gavriel Kay's books and Nora Roberts' "____ in Death" series (writing as J.D. Robb, "Naked in Death", "Glory in Death", etc.) -- which are kind of romantic mysteries set in the year 2050. I've also read the Southern Vampire series, which I like a bunch (Charlaine Harris is the author) -- but it's modern fantasy/mystery/horror, not epic fantasy, so I'm not listing it up there in the bullet list. Anyway, good luck finding something you like! Sounds like you're the kind of prolific fantasy reader the world needs more of. :) [/QUOTE]
