Any fantasy book lovers here? And what you read?

I love reading fantasy book and fantastic fiction. I follow this list. Until now most favorite is Brandon Sanderson. I also loved Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind) but now days many people are angry with the writer not delivering the last book for more than 10 years.

I follow this list: https://bookimov.blogspot.com/2020/06/25-best-fantasy-books-and-book-series.html

So what are your favorite fantasy writers and books? Which ones you read from this list? And which ones you plan to read?

I gave up on the The Magicians.
Tales of Earthsea was good.
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb was disappointing.
Game of Thrones is epic.
Good Omens was fun.
The Sword of Truth series is never ending.

Childhood classics:
The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings.
Chronicles of Narnia.
Harry Potter.

The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, is on my bookshelf and next on my reading list.

But the list of top 30 is bullshit. Its missing The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne:

This series is the reason I haven't read most of the others. Its so fun I read them over and over.

@SatanBurger I am reading now the Broker Earth series by N K Jemisin. Now in the second book. After that, I want to read the Game of Thrones series. Let's see if I can finally start reading it.

I read a lot of “The Eternal Champion” series by Michael Moorcock. And I liked the “ Incarnations of Immortality “ by Peirs Anthony. Got burn out on the “Wheel of Time” however.
I’m now back to the pulps .

Elric is one incarnation of the Champion, the theme of the series has the Champion battling both the forces of law and chaos to remove their influence from the balance of the cosmos.
HighlanderJ · 36-40, M
@DocSavage I read all the Elric books years ago. Still can remember how I ended...
SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
