Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth Series (it's like, 17 books long). Trudi Canavan - She has written three trilogies and a prequel, as outlined below; a prequel, one trilogy that follows a couple of characters and a plot to reignite a war, a second trilogy that follows that persons Son and the attempt at keeping an uneasy peace, another trilogy set in a different world where 5 immensely powerful magicians get bored (as it were) and try to start a war between two different countries, the 5 magicians posing as deities from each country. The 4th trilogy, the 3rd book not out yet is set in a universe where travel between worlds is possible with magic and there is someone who is out to control each world in the books universe. (I suck at explaining things) but I try to keep things spoiler free. Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time (it's 14 books long) and the world is huge, the scope of it and feel of it is something like Tolkien.

Recently finished The Omen Machine, just been looking for the one after it. It's by far one of the best series I have ever read and to me it beats anything else, hands down. I have only finished the first three books of The Wheel of Time. The book store near me doesn't have book 4 but they do have book 5 so it is a kind of kick in the teeth. I might have to order it online. Perhaps get it for myself for my birthday in a few weeks. Icequeen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I always have my kindle on me and have a book on the go wherever I am! Right now I am 5 or 6 trilogies deep into Terry Brooks Shannara series. I love anything with magic and dragons and elves and shit like that. My favorite series would have to be The Sword Of truth series by Terry Goodkind, I love that even above that fat non writing bastard George Martin whom I have been waiting since 2011 for the next book in the Song Of Ice And Fire series (Game Of Thrones) and who is probably going to die before it gets released!!! I prefer long series compared to just a single novel. JD Robb's series In Death is over 40 books long, great reads! Jim Butchers series The Dresden Files is an amazing read too. So many great series!!!! Fuck I love reading!! Icequeen and KicknDatAzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth Series (c'est comme, 17 livres). Trudi Canavan - Elle a écrit trois trilogies et une préquelle, comme indiqué ci-dessous; Une préquelle, une trilogie qui suit un couple de personnages et un complot pour relancer une guerre, une deuxième trilogie qui suit ce fils de personnes et la tentative de garder une paix mal à l'aise, une autre trilogie dans un monde différent où 5 magiciens immensément puissants s'ennuient (Pour ainsi dire) et essayer de commencer une guerre entre deux pays différents, les 5 magiciens se présentant comme des divinités de chaque pays. La 4ème trilogie, le troisième livre n'est pas encore défini dans un univers où le voyage entre les mondes est possible avec la magie et il y a quelqu'un qui contrôle chaque monde dans l'univers des livres. (Je suce d'expliquer les choses) mais j'essaie de garder les spoiler gratuitement. Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time (c'est 14 livres de long) et le monde est énorme, sa portée et sa sensation sont quelque chose comme Tolkien.

Brilliant books about a man who can talk to the dead and his fight against Wamphyri from a parallel dimension who have access to Earth through gates, their kind came through many years ago and gave rise to our stories of vampires, where our vampires would bite your neck and suck your blood the Wampyri would bite your neck and probably continue biting until there is nothing left of you!!

HUGE Dark Tower fan - I surely hope the upcoming movies are up to snuff. King movies are either great or shite. I also enjoy Brian Lumley - especially the Necroscope series!
