Kareni Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have an adult daughter (early twenties) whose favorite genre is fantasy. I'm looking for a few Kindle titles to send her for the holidays. Some recent favorites include The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (She also enjoyed the author's books written as Sarah Monette.) Lindsay Buroker's The Emperor's Edge Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle starting with The Slow Regard of Silent Things She likes Hilari Bell's books (particularly The Farsala Trilogy), Trudi Canavan, and Kevin Hearne's Hounded series. Your suggestions are much appreciated! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Has she read Patricia McKillip? How about Neil Gaiman? Does she have all of his books? Does she do scary? Lots of people in my circle are reading House of Leaves which is in a little bit of a weird category, genre-wise. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves Eta: has she read Brandon Sanderson? I think he had 2 or 3 new books in 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Brandon Sanderson has been recommended to me many times by people whose taste in books I trust. I haven't read them, but my son flew through the Mistborn Chronicles and the series that starts with The Way of Kings (and which is not yet complete and won't be for a while).

Veritaserum Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Karen Moning's Dark Fever series is excellent. It does have s*xy content and swear words, so avoid if that will bother her. Kristin Cashore's Graceling series is also good, but there is some content that some people won't like. Graceling is in the YA section of our library. "Clean" options are Brandon Sanderson, Robin McKinley, Shannon Hale, and Gail Carson Levine. Some of those authors have fantasy books that are geared toward kids rather than adults.

Veritaserum Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Oh, one book I always enjoy is Orson Scott Card's Enchantment. It's about a grad student studying early Russian fairy tales who suddenly finds himself living the story of Sleeping Beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Mercedes Lackey-she has several series. Two favorites of mine are Bardic Voices, about a land where music is magic, and Hundred Kingdoms, where fairy tales are true. The Valdemar chronicles are good, too.

Wheres Toto Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I love Mercedes Lackey - she definitely has a lot of selections. Terry Brooks and Piers Anthony are some oldies but goodies.. Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth Series and Wheel of Time series (blanking on the author) are both really long (12, 13 books each). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Has she read Patricia McKillip? Not yet to my knowledge, but I've already bought her a copy of The Riddle-Master of Hed. How about Neil Gaiman? Does she have all of his books? She's read a few, and she's certainly seen of movies based on his books. I don't think he's a favorite though. Does she do scary? Lots of people in my circle are reading House of Leaves which is in a little bit of a weird category, genre-wise. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves She's read Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Historian and enjoyed them all, but I don't know if I'd classify those as scary. House of Leaves sounds intriguing to me! Brandon Sanderson has been recommended to me many times by people whose taste in books I trust. I haven't read them, but my son flew through the Mistborn Chronicles and the series that starts with The Way of Kings (and which is not yet complete and won't be for a while). Eta: has she read Brandon Sanderson? I think he had 2 or 3 new books in 2014? I don't think she has, but I enjoyed his Mistborn trilogy. I think she may have tried it and set it aside. Thanks for some interesting ideas, Mrs Mungo and marbel, for my daughter and for me! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 She likes Hilari Bell's books (particularly The Farsala Trilogy) What a pity the newest Knight and Rogue isn't out on Kindle yet! I refresh the page EVERY DAY, but no dice. :( I notice you don't mention Pratchett. My first Pratchett was probably The Truth, which is a good stand-alone intro to the series. (So says me, anyway. YMMV.) How does she feel about Robin McKinley? Beauty is still one of my all time favorite books. Does she like modern (or nearly modern) fantasy? I really enjoyed The Golem and the Jinni this year. Since people are falling all over themselves recommending YA offerings, you might do worse than Frances Hardinge. I adore A Face Like Glass, although that's fantasy-lite - not much actual fantasy in the fantasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I really like various works by Orson Scot Card. A good one is, "Treasure planet" or "Wymms". (note due to different editions I think Treasure planet is also called something else perhaps treasure world?) I know she read Ender's Game (and enjoyed the movie, too), but I don't think she's read any of his other works. Thanks for the suggestions, Julie!

Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Karen Moning's Dark Fever series is excellent. It does have s*xy content and swear words, so avoid if that will bother her. We're pretty liberal, so the content would not bother her. I've actually read the first few in this series, but I'm not sure if it would be her cup of tea. Kristin Cashore's Graceling series is also good, but there is some content that some people won't like. Graceling is in the YA section of our library. "Clean" options are Brandon Sanderson, Robin McKinley, Shannon Hale, and Gail Carson Levine. Some of those authors have fantasy books that are geared toward kids rather than adults. She might have read Graceling. I know that a number of the books she reads are considered Young Adult. She's certainly enjoyed Shannon Hale and Gail Carson Levine's books. I have a copy of McKinley's Sunshine already for her birthday. Oh, one book I always enjoy is Orson Scott Card's Enchantment. It's about a grad student studying early Russian fairy tales who suddenly finds himself living the story of Sleeping Beauty. That does sound intriguing. Thanks for your suggestions, Laura!

If that's the case, you may want to check with her before you get her a copy of anything by Orson Scott Card. Many people make a point of not purchasing new copies of his books due to his rather strong opinions on gays. I thought of something else, I'm a fan of Zahrah the Windseeker and The Shadow Speaker.

And I don't believe she's read Brooks or Goodkind either, so more for me to ponder! I do think that she read some of the Xanth books some years ago. Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion series (Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, and Hallowed Hunt) and Sharing Knife series. Her best friend gave her a copy of the Sharing Knife lately, but I don't think she took it with her when she went to Korea. That one may have to wait for her return. I've also heard many good things about the Vorkosigan saga. Thank you all for the suggestions! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 What a pity the newest Knight and Rogue isn't out on Kindle yet! I refresh the page EVERY DAY, but no dice. :( She's likely refreshing right along with you. Bell is a definite favorite of hers! I notice you don't mention Pratchett.

Since people are falling all over themselves recommending YA offerings, you might do worse than Frances Hardinge. I adore A Face Like Glass, although that's fantasy-lite - not much actual fantasy in the fantasy! She read many of Pratchett's books when she was in her mid-teens. She certainly enjoyed them at the time. I think the only McKinley book she has attempted was the Hero and the Crown, but I don't think it spoke to her at the time. I have a copy of Sunshine wending her way, so she'll have a second chance at McKinley's work. Perhaps she was too young when she first tried. I think she may well like the Golem and the Jinni; I'll keep that title in mind. I don't know if she's read any books by Hardinge, but A Face Like Glass may well appeal to her. Many thanks, Tanaqui!

Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Piers Anthony is good. Dh and I use to read the Xanth books out loud to each other. The later ones can get a bit weird, and I gave up on the series. I think it is now on book 38? A warning about Piers Anthony. Some of his books are really sexually strange and detailed. I personally love his Bio of a Space Tyrant series. But it has some of the oddest, strangest, most inappropiate sexual things I have ever read, and it's all in great detail and that is his science-fiction fansty books. Whoa, that (Xanth) is a long series! Thanks for the heads up on some of the Anthony content. I just read a description of Space Tyrant,and it does sound good though ... hmm, ... perhaps a tad brutal for her taste. She definitely leans more toward fantasy than science fiction. (Though she's enjoyed many of my old Star Trek novels.) Thanks for your thoughts, Julie. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 The Vorkosigan saga is wonderful, but it's more sci-fi than fantasy. Which may well be why the book is here at home rather than with her! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion series (Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, and Hallowed Hunt) and Sharing Knife series.Yes, but I prefer her Vorkosigan saga. Ah, Miles. I like Megan Whaley Turner's stuff and for urban fantasy Ilona Andrews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 My favorite fantasy series is Melina Marchetta's The Lumatere Chronicles. It's a trilogy; Finnikin of the Rock is the first book. It can be a dark series, though it is considered YA. I also liked Rae Carson's Crown of Embers trilogy (Girl of Fire & Thorns is the first book).

raptor_dad Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Mary Gentle's "Book of Ash" trilogy appears to be back in "print" as a cheap kindle book titled "Ash: A Secret History". I thought it was very interesting and good. For straight fantasy, I really like some of Guy Gavriel Kay's stuff. "Song for Arbonne" doesn't seem to have a kindle edition :( But "The Lions of Al-Rassan" does and it is a great fantasy retelling of El Cid. ETA: If you want something much weightier Gene Wolfe's 2 parts of "The Book of the New Sun" are also available as kindle books. They are very good but be warned Wolfe has been compared to Melville in more than one review. This isn't the usual light fantasy fare.

poppy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Has she read Robin Hobb- The Farseer Trilogy? Start here. Not that many reviews because it is from the pre-Amazon era (1995, not ancient) but it is a classic. It's intrigue and emotionally moving too It's really stuck with me in the many years since I've read it. There have been 2 additional trilogies in the same world, but don't research too much, it's spoilery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 My dh has a favorite fantasy series by David Eddings It is the five book series, followed by another five book series followed by two large books. Is this the Belgariad? I think it is sitting on her shelf awaiting her attention! My favorite author nobody has ever heard of is Grace Draven. For standalone page turners she is a-MAZING. "Master of Crows" and "Entreat Me" and both worthy reads, especially if your daughter doesn't mind some tasteful adult content. It's pretty mild compared to a lot of fantasy/romances I've encounered, but everyone has a different tolerance level :) Funnily enough, I recently read Master of Crows and enjoyed it. I think she'd enjoy it, too. I have yet to read Entreat Me but it's always promising to hear a good review. Thank you both.

mommymilkies Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh man, fantasy is my thing. :) Anything Brandon Sanderson-he even has some free or cheap novellas on Kindle. The Stormlight Archive will keep her busy for quite awhile. ;) Neil Gaiman-anything, but Stardust, Ocean at the End of the Lane, American Gods, and Anansi Boys to start? Patrick Rothfuss-all of it but SRoST is NOT the beginning. It is a novella from one section of the books and is best read last, IMHO. Terry Pratchett Dresden Files Rysa Walker's Time books are good Riyria Revelations The Lies of Locke Lamora Deathless by Valente The Dark Tower series by Stephen King-more fantasy than horror. A classic epic fantasy series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
