13 items

Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Dragons of Autumn Twilight By Weis, Margaret (Book - 2000)

Annotation:A light, fun adventure story. This series is the only good fiction I know of to come out of the Dungeons & Dragons world.

The Lies of Locke Lamora
The Lies of Locke Lamora By Lynch, Scott (Book - 2007)

Annotation:Fun characters, fun story.

Kop
Kop By Hammond, Warren (Book - 2007)

Annotation:Enjoyable, and works as a standalone novel. The sequel, Ex-Kop, can also be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

The Dragonbone Chair
Devices and Desires
Devices and Desires By Parker, K. J. (Book - 2005)

Annotation:Sadly, I haven't read the final book in the series yet, because my library doesn't carry it. The first two books were good, though.

The Demon Princes, Vol. 1: The Star King * The Killing Machine * The Palace of Love
The Demon Princes, Vol. 1: The Star King * The Killing Machine * The Palace of Love By Vance, Jack (Book )

Annotation:Jack Vance writes about clever characters. What's interesting is that he actually *shows* you that his characters are clever, rather than just *telling* you, as most authors do. Also recommended: The Dying Earth, Planet Adventure

Shaman's Crossing
Shaman's Crossing By Hobb, Robin (Book - 2005)

Annotation:A different kind of story... very enjoyable. Anything by Robin Hobb is good.

The Name of the Wind
The Name of the Wind The Kingkiller Chronicle : Day One By Rothfuss, Pat (Book - 2008)

Annotation:Wow... just wow. This one you've got to read at least twice to pick up all the nuances. First book in a trilogy... at the time I write this (2011) the third book is still being written.

Lord Foul's Bane
Lord Foul's Bane By Donaldson, Stephen R. (Book - 1978)

Annotation:First book of a trilogy... followed up by another good trilogy, followed up by a not-so-good trilogy. First trilogy stars an unlikely (and sometimes unlikeable) hero.

Mistborn
Mistborn The Final Empire By Sanderson, Brandon (Book - 2007)

Annotation:Not what you expect.

Storm Front
Storm Front By Butcher, Jim (Book - 2000)

Annotation:This series should be subtitled: "set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer". No, you won't find Buffy featured in the novel, but you will find vampires, wizards and demons, as well as a bit of humor. A light read, but enjoyable.

A Game of Thrones
A Game of Thrones By Martin, George R. R. (Book - 2005)

Annotation:Gritty fantasy.

Temeraire
Temeraire In the Service of the King By Novik, Naomi (Book - 2006)

Annotation:Napoleonic Wars, but with dragons. This is the omnibus edition - the first book in the series is His Majesty's Dragon.
