[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 1412256, member: 3913"] There are two series that I can't brag up more. The first is Stephen King's Dark Tower series. This series, once wrapped up later this year, will be on par with that of The Lord of the Rings, IMO. It blends the modern day with that of a psuedo-medieval world with elements of westerns and post-acopalyptic settings as well. There's magic, monsters, technology, and a blending of many elements from several of King's other books. So far, it's been the deepest fantasy series I've ever read. Very worth while. The second series is Chris Claremont's Shadow War series. It has many staples of fantasy like elves, sorcerers, faeries, and such, but it handles it all in a much different way. I love the way that Claremont handled half-demons as well as other natural half-breeds. Plus the way he writes magic is hands-down the most evocative that I've ever read. Plus, it continues the story of one of my favorite fantasy movies: Willow. Beyond that, I'd suggest just about anything by Sean Stewart as well. Any of the books from his loose series of books pertaining to our world destroyed by magic are well worth the time and money. Galveston is especially good as is Night Watch. Those are my recommendations. Kane [/QUOTE]
