She creates wonderful characters you fall in love with. Stay away from the Soldier Son trilogy though...not sure what happened there.

I love GRRM. If you havn't read A Game of Thrones you may begrudgingly admit to finding a better author than Jordan afterwards.

I personally loved Gardens of the Moon (though I'm in the minority there), and the books do get better. This series is one of my favorites.

Jacqueline Carey's books are outstanding if you don't mind the NC-17 rating for intense sex scenes. Though Jordan's own Fallon books (written as Reagan O'Neal) were almost as graphic if not as well written.

There are many good books out there. Joe Ambercrombie is brilliant. Gene Wolf is good. Harry Potter? G.G. Kay is amazing!


i looked up kushiels dart by carey and it sounded interesting. rj also gave it a really good review so i decided to pick it up. so far im 40 pages in and i really like it. thanks for the rec!

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 1147 Views

Erikson's first book is good. Gher - 24/03/2011 06:07:13 PM 1150 Views
Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him random thoughts - 24/03/2011 06:29:06 PM 1129 Views
Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan Deadsy - 24/03/2011 09:06:20 PM 1183 Views
really? I thought he had picked him random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:00:44 PM 1050 Views
RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died. Deadsy - 25/03/2011 08:21:26 PM 1111 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 1041 Views
Haha dude Robin Hobb is a woman *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:23:34 PM 458 Views
I probably knew that at one time random thoughts - 29/03/2011 07:48:56 PM 904 Views
I'm loving the Robin Hobb shout outs! (She's sadly underrepresented here) *NM* Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 02:57:37 AM 529 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 1088 Views
Are the Dresden books really that good? Darth_Katie - 25/03/2011 08:14:37 PM 1037 Views
They're a fun read. It's a nice break from epic stuff Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:22:36 PM 1051 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 993 Views
Hmm ... Giles was my favorite part of Buffy. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2011 07:41:21 PM 976 Views
I was really disappointed by WMF, reminded me A LOT of Crossroads of Twilight *NM* NaClH2O - 06/04/2011 09:30:17 PM 541 Views

Excellent! That's how I found both her and Robin Hobb. MonCul - 02/04/2011 12:14:43 AM 1035 Views
If you are willing to step out of the fantasy genre, check out David Weber HyogaRott - 30/03/2011 01:53:19 PM 1099 Views
