Why I love it: If you haven’t picked up this series because you’ve read negative reviews and worried the main character would be too reprehensible, unlikable or otherwise turn you off, don’t hesitate any more. Hopefully you’ll find a new series below and will enjoy this upcoming holiday as I did all those years ago, exploring a delightful new world. I’m only listing here those series that kept me captivated through the very last word. Jemison’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms comes to mind) I didn’t include it below. If I loved the first book but not the entire series (N.K. Some of these books have inspired my characters or my work, and all of them hold treasured shelf space in my permanent collection.
I’ve included some of my favorite series here-the ones that have stuck with me over the years, the ones that pulled me in right away. That said, if you’re relatively new to the genre, this will make a nice holiday reading list. Please do! This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, and I know I’m missing many great authors. I’m not including George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Pat Rothfuss or Sanderson because they’re already on plenty of lists and don’t need my recommendation.If you’ve been reading fantasy for a while, you’ve probably already worked your way through this list and have more you can add to the comments.
I’m often asked by my readers if I could recommend some other fantasy series they might enjoy, so in the spirit of holiday sharing, here is my list of recommended reads. I can still remember one holiday in the 1990’s when I’d first discovered The Wheel of Time and spent my entire break in front of the fire churning through Robert Jordan’s voluminous books (I think there were seven released at that point). Winter is my favorite time of year to curl up fireside and read.
