Fantasy’s ability to grab readers, especially young ones, seems to surpass that of other genres for some reason.

The final novel A Memory of Light is being split into three volumes and the first, The Gathering Storm, is being released in November of this year.

I heard around book 7 or so, it started to drag on and seemed like there would never be an end in sight. It still isn’t finished, but someone is supposed to complete the last book in the series since Jordan’s death. I’m wondering if the same thing might happen to my favorite fantasy author, George R.R. Martin, before he finishes A Song of Ice and Fire.

The first book is called On a Pale Horse, and it is supposed to be extremely involving. Another fantasy series that I read was the Empire series by Janny Wurts and Ramond Fiest. The first book is called Mistress of the Empire, and it has incredible world building.

My housemate was re-reading David Eddings’s books, and I picked them up as he put them down, and got hooked. Next up, I dived right into Robert Jordan, and never looked back! :)

If you haven’t already tried them, I also highly recommend Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series.

I just start reading fantasy more last year. There’s something special about fantasy that you don’t find in the other genres.

I’ve read through the series thrice now, and I loved them every single time. I’m really looking forward to that wonderful day when the whole thing is out in paperback so I can reread ‘em all again.
