What is a good series of fantasy books?

lord of the rings

Five Fantasy series I haven't recommended lately

Roger Zelazny's Amber series, or his Dilvish the Damned series, or Roadmarks, or Changeling. the guy has three Nebulas and six Hugos, so just read him already. Read the first series and ask yourself, how is it the sci-fi channel hasn't got ahold of this yet?

Fritz Leiber- His Fafhred and Grey Mouser series. Mostly short stories, still some of the best sword and sorcery out there. Some people say conan, I say this pair.

Ursula Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea. You want wizards? you want wizard schools? Then read this series and see what a cool magic system is all about. If you're over twelve, you should be able to devour the first three in a long afternoon.

Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt, their Compleat Enchanter/ Harold Shea series. Classics for all you kiddies. Pure gold

Brian Daley's Coramonde doulogy. Doomfarers of Coramonde and Starfollowers of Coramonde. A pair of books I've never seen mentioned here, by an author you never see mentioned here. Vietnam vet meets dragon, dragon loses. I like them.

You asked for series, there you are. If you'd asked for singles I'd be plugging Poul Anderson, Robert Heinlein, and Gordon Dickinson, right about now.

Hi, you might want to try my own recently published book, entitled "The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle".

You can download the first three chapters for free, at http://www.talesoftanglewood.com/

Within the pages of the book, readers will discover Colin, a child who is fully aware of the hidden world of myth and wonder hiding within the woods just beyond his home, long kept secret by old magic. Only the fey magic which runs through his veins has enabled Colin to find what others cannot; the Tanglewood, the 'wood within the woods.

Full of odd characters and creatures of the fey, the Tanglewood is a world of magnificent folklore come to life. As Colin begins to explore the Tanglewood, he will find friendship with the ferrish Ailfrid, the elfin girl Deidre, and Doc Muffingrow, a wise druid.

Colin will also find that there is much magic in himself, as well as dangerous enemies who will not let him find solace in the wood so easily. Ailil, King of the Sprites and ruler of The Below, has laid claim to his spirit, and Colin will need the help of his friends and quite a bit of magic to save himself.

The Tanglewood is a place like no other, and Colin is a boy like no other. Throughout his adventures, he will uncover the secret of the fey blood within him, and help dispel the poisonous corruption and hidden dangers that threaten the inhabitants of the wood and the Tanglewood itself.
