thats one of Anthony's series I actually think is good imlad Send a noteboard - 24/01/2010 09:54:55 PM
But I preferred his Bio of a Space Tyrant series much more.

Didn't Anthony put out a new Incarnations book since "And Eternity" came out??

I do know that he has another Space Tyrant book, but I haven't even seen it yet.

PErsonally, I wouldn't bother recommending Piers Anthony to anyone but kids. I used to be a huge fan, but then I grew hair in funny places...


My wife is looking for a fantasy series to read - she liked Mistborn but didn't like Elantris, and she loved Martin but can't stand Jordan. Any suggestions?


the reading level is a bit above "young adult" but the story and concepts are pretty well done. plus the author's notes at the end of each book are almost (if not more) interesting than the books sometimes.

Has she read Erikson/would war-based fantasy put her off? Ghavrel - 22/01/2010 03:30:36 AM 1317 Views
What she liked about Martin was the political intrigue and realism. Tom - 24/01/2010 03:07:34 AM 1206 Views
Very much so. Ghavrel - 24/01/2010 03:30:47 AM 1193 Views
The trilogy of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams. Dreaded Anomaly - 22/01/2010 04:07:26 AM 1341 Views
What is the basic idea of the trilogy, if you don't mind my asking? Tom - 24/01/2010 03:08:12 AM 1226 Views
It's a mix of quest fantasy and political intrigue. Dreaded Anomaly - 24/01/2010 04:28:03 AM 1282 Views
If she doesn't like all the fantasy races and all much, though... Legolas - 24/01/2010 11:58:45 AM 1074 Views
Otherland is also good, but it meanders a lot more than MS&T. Also, it's more sci-fi than fantasy. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 24/01/2010 05:11:16 PM 611 Views
Wrong place. Ignore. *NM* fionwe1987 - 24/01/2010 11:05:51 AM 530 Views
I'd go for this Wibble - 24/01/2010 02:25:04 PM 1279 Views
thats one of the most beautifully written fantasies I've ever read imlad - 24/01/2010 09:49:40 PM 1309 Views
Scott Lynch, though the series is no wheres near complete, the Lies of Locke Lamora is damn good. *NM* callandor1000 - 22/01/2010 05:13:14 AM 578 Views
^ This. Nate - 23/01/2010 04:16:53 PM 1112 Views
If the series isn't done she won't read it. Tom - 24/01/2010 03:09:02 AM 1163 Views
That's fair. It won't be done for awhile. Nate - 24/01/2010 08:59:54 AM 1336 Views
It's not so much a series as a "oh, people liked my book, I'll start writing sequels". Legolas - 24/01/2010 11:55:47 AM 1191 Views
Actually, I think all seven books were planned early on... jh - 24/01/2010 06:05:27 PM 1187 Views

i've been digging the hell out of the incarnations of immortality series by piers anthony moondog - 22/01/2010 05:26:07 AM 1166 Views
What is the basic premise? *NM* Tom - 24/01/2010 03:09:37 AM 519 Views

I think you're right about a new Incarnations book; I seem to recall seeing something in passing. Joel - 25/01/2010 10:55:36 AM 1140 Views

How many books are there and what are they about? *NM* Tom - 24/01/2010 03:10:11 AM 597 Views
The Empire series by Feist and Wurtz? Elaine - 22/01/2010 12:47:50 PM 1278 Views
This is getting to be information overload Tom - 24/01/2010 03:11:18 AM 1068 Views
well, in this section of the thread, I'd say Empire series, but for the other sections: imlad - 24/01/2010 09:59:42 PM 1225 Views
Right Elaine - 25/01/2010 02:12:06 PM 1186 Views
Empire trilogy is awesome imlad - 24/01/2010 09:57:39 PM 1310 Views
I did, way back when - you don't need to have read Riftwar. *NM* Legolas - 24/01/2010 10:06:05 PM 544 Views

A big thank you to everyone with suggestions!!! Tom - 22/01/2010 01:17:54 PM 1167 Views
Abercrombie or maybe Guy Gavriel Kay. *NM* Werthead - 22/01/2010 03:14:03 PM 534 Views
Seconded Tigr - 22/01/2010 09:07:44 PM 1050 Views
Can you give me a bit more insight (either of you) ? Tom - 24/01/2010 03:12:23 AM 1185 Views
I can't speak to Abercrombie, but Kay writes fantasy history. Nate - 24/01/2010 09:15:05 AM 1182 Views
Kay is a beautiful writer. Tigr - 25/01/2010 05:01:14 PM 1291 Views
I'd suggest Stephen King's Dark Tower series. *NM* j-whitt987 - 22/01/2010 03:21:12 PM 526 Views
She wouldn't like it. I'm sure of that. *NM* Tom - 24/01/2010 03:12:43 AM 546 Views
Well that sucks. It's a great series. Even The Gun Slinger has its good parts. *NM* j-whitt987 - 24/01/2010 03:50:20 AM 500 Views

I enjoyed the Dragon Prince series. j-whitt987 - 22/01/2010 10:19:31 PM 1246 Views
The heavy emphasis on the word "Dragon" in both series makes me wary Tom - 24/01/2010 03:15:52 AM 1101 Views
Yeah, I always had the same worry when it was suggested to me. lord-of-shadow - 26/01/2010 12:53:14 AM 1363 Views
You have now Wibble - 24/01/2010 02:19:11 PM 1106 Views
Go completely in another direction PhotoJim - 22/01/2010 06:22:45 PM 1128 Views
Eh...I don't think so. *NM* Tom - 24/01/2010 03:16:57 AM 509 Views

Thirded on The Book of the New Sun. *NM* Vodalus - 29/01/2010 04:42:21 AM 523 Views
Yes, what he said. Avoid the Wizard/Knight books if faeries are off limits, though. *NM* jh - 24/01/2010 06:09:02 PM 510 Views
Does she like Lovecraft any? Larry - 23/01/2010 12:06:48 AM 1188 Views
McKillip is lovely. *NM* Rebekah - 23/01/2010 12:34:36 AM 452 Views
No, she doesn't like Lovecraft. She's a girl, after all. Tom - 24/01/2010 03:19:31 AM 1064 Views
