A few suggestions you may like Zach Send a noteboard - 24/03/2011 05:15:56 PM
I started out reading fantasy when I picked up The dragon reborn on a whim and I haven't looked back since.

I've loved all of the WOT books, flaws and all, and here are the first books in a few other series that you may like:

The Name of The Wind - The King Killer chronicle
Furies of Calderon - Codex Alera
Assasins Apprentice - The Farseer Trilogy


If you prefer to try something a bit darker then these are great:

A Game of Thrones - A Song of Ice and Fire
The Blade Itself - The First Law
Winterbirth - The Godless World

I'm looking for a new series myself so if you know of anything awesome send it my way! :)

Erikson's books are fantastic, but the characterization could not be more different than WoT's. lord-of-shadow - 24/03/2011 03:54:11 PM 989 Views

Erikson's first book is good. Gher - 24/03/2011 06:07:13 PM 1015 Views
Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him random thoughts - 24/03/2011 06:29:06 PM 975 Views
Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan Deadsy - 24/03/2011 09:06:20 PM 1028 Views
really? I thought he had picked him random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:00:44 PM 892 Views
RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died. Deadsy - 25/03/2011 08:21:26 PM 952 Views

I enjoyed the book but I don't think his prose were as good as Jordan's random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:05:02 PM 881 Views
Haha dude Robin Hobb is a woman *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:23:34 PM 391 Views
I probably knew that at one time random thoughts - 29/03/2011 07:48:56 PM 745 Views
I'm loving the Robin Hobb shout outs! (She's sadly underrepresented here) *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 02:57:37 AM 459 Views
Name of the Wind, and its recent sequel Wise Man's Fear are really, really good. beetnemesis - 25/03/2011 04:49:51 PM 932 Views
Are the Dresden books really that good? Darth_Katie - 25/03/2011 08:14:37 PM 877 Views
They're a fun read. It's a nice break from epic stuff Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:22:36 PM 900 Views
Honestly, they kind of remind me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if Giles was the main character. beetnemesis - 29/03/2011 06:18:44 PM 835 Views
Hmm ... Giles was my favorite part of Buffy. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2011 07:41:21 PM 811 Views
I was really disappointed by WMF, reminded me A LOT of Crossroads of Twilight *NM* NaClH2O - 06/04/2011 09:30:17 PM 464 Views
I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation! MonCul - 26/03/2011 12:22:09 AM 981 Views

Excellent! That's how I found both her and Robin Hobb. MonCul - 02/04/2011 12:14:43 AM 886 Views
If you are willing to step out of the fantasy genre, check out David Weber HyogaRott - 30/03/2011 01:53:19 PM 941 Views
