| spurgeonryan said: I could probably pick 20-50 great moments. Especially if I included Fantasy, which I forgot to, although I made a Fantasy thread a while back ( last year). The Sword of Truth Series would be my favorite. Legends of Earthsea as well. Wheel of Time series, Shannara...? Been a while. Specific moment? When Richard Rahl and Kahlynn Amnel go through the Boundary for the first time. I read it at night as a 7th grader. Was hooked and a little frightened! |
The sword of truth series was great, although mostly the earlier volumes. I haven't read the last 2 volumes yet. The Wheel of time series is better overall and stays good. I'm anxiously awaiting the paperback version of the final volume, a memory of light. Perfect to read outside on a warm summer day. With almost 1,000 pages for the final volume (almost 12,000 pages total) the series couldn't be more epic.
I'm reading Game of Thrones mean while, but it's losing me slowly. It's getting repetitive with people attacking eachother constantly. Get on with it. Although the river battle for King's landing with liquid fire was a great moment.
Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series from Tad Williams is great too. It's been a while but exploring the ancient cultures in the deep underground was amazing.
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes write great fantasy too.
I greatly enjoyed Destiny's road, The burning city and the burning tower.
Legacy of Heorot and Beowolf's children are very good too. Colonizing a new planet, but not being on the top of the food chain.
The Helleconia trilogy from Brian Aldiss is one of my favorites too. Best moment, the description of and life inside the Wheel of Kharnabar.
