I've been reading quite a few fantasy series lately. I figured someone might be interested. Here's what I've read recently and few brief thoughts:
The First Law Trilogy - This is the best trilogy I've read in a while. Great characters and an interesting plot, very hard to put down. I also read the three standalone books in the same universe. These were all good, just not quite as good as the trilogy.
The Chronicles of Amber - The first five books were entertaining. The second five were not worth reading. The conclusion of the entire second story arc was about 2 pages long. After reading hundreds of pages, this was a bit of a let down. I was glad to be done so I could move on to something better.
The Night Angel Trilogy - Entertaining, but not terribly deep and a bit sophmoric.
Riyria Revelations - A fun, easy read. Good characters and a good ending.
The Farseer Trilogy - It's been awhile since I read this, but as I remember it the first two books were really solid. The third was a bit of a letdown. I would still recommend it though.
The Kingkiller Chronicle - Only two out of three books have been release. The first two were great, but I really should learn not to start a series until all the books have come out.
Mistborn - Interesting magic system and an enjoyable read. The writing was a bit juvenile, but from what I've read the author is improving.
I'm currently reading The Belgariad, but I'm always looking for a new book or series. Anyone have other series they liked?
