I’d highly recommend Prince of Thorns bt Mark Lawrence, it’s an unusual take on common fantasy. Also the sequel is out and the final of the trilogy next year (I think).

Ok let’s be funny…….What did Jimmy Sav………No ok I won’t go there.

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Just because it’s an amazing series. I have nothing funny to say, so yeah. That’s pretty much it.

The Lies of Locke Lamora is the greatest book of all time. I mean compared to it, the book you’re trying to win by being here is complete crap. In fact, I don’t even know why you’re here. Go read The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch right away. Don’t even bother commenting here, there’s no point since reading The Lies of Locke Lamora will put you off all other books (except the sequel, Red Seas under Red Skies) for life. Compared to this amazing book, anything else will read like Morris Gleitzman, so you’ll just sit at home re-re-re-re-reading The Lies of Locke Lamora wishing that any other author could even come close to the magnificence shown by Scott Lynch.

Read The Red Knight by Miles Cameron : it’s not an old classic it’s brand new out and the authors first fantasy book, it shows how close the historical fiction and fantasy genres really are… And it’s bloody good.
Advert over.

I would recommend Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It’s a novel set in the future about a kid that’s trying to win a contest by getting through challenges in a virtual world that are all based on video games/movies/comics etc. from the past. Thought it was fantastic. So much fun and nice to travel down memory lane. To be fair, though, I might be the EXACT demographic for whom the book appeals, and by that I mean total nerd growing up in the 1980s.
