We are gathered here today to pique your excitement for this genre. My love for Fantasy started as a child. As I grew into adulthood I didn't know where to continue my journey. I was given a little help by a friend during a time I really needed to escape. So, I've decided to pay it forward, and assist you on your quest to bigger and better stories, or just different ones really. I'm only going to discuss a few books as time constraints exist, but hopefully these books will give you an idea of what you want to look for going forward. By searching for the authors of the books you like, you can find books similar to those kinds of stories. The books on this website are ones that reignited my passion for this genre and have engaged me more deeply than others.
There are thousands of Fantasy novels. In fact the genre has been around for thousands of years, so we probably lost more stories than exist today. Everyone knows the works of Tolkien. But, maybe a lot of these stories we consider fables today, may have been works of Fantasy.
Here are three series I found captivating and well written.
Though these stories were important enough for me to write about, they are not the only series I found to be great. But, I'm not working with unlimited space and time, so I chose these to write about.
Here are some websites you can visit for more on these series and other books by these authors:
