The Last Son of Ahriman (Ahriman #1) by Justin Robinson
The Last Son of Ahriman is a very good book, and I’ll be pleased to continue with the dark adventures of Simon Bell and his cohorts.
The Mirror Empire (Worldbreaker Saga #1) by Kameron Hurley
When I pick up books written by women in this genre, this is what I want to see- female characters who are unapologetic in their being.
Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) by Mark Lawrence
Write a YA book about a school that mixes magic, martial arts and meditation and just like that; I’m in love.
The Warrior Prophet (The Prince of Nothing #2) by R. Scott Bakker
A world painted so vivid, like brushstrokes of paint on canvas; characters so real they seem to live as people in your imagination
Of Blood and Fire (The Bound and The Broken #1) by Ryan Cahill
There’s clearly an awful lot more from where it came from, and Ryan Cahill is clearly in no hurry to show the full extent of his impressive range

My Top 5 Fantasy Authors
But, if you enjoy such details as much as you enjoy the story, you’ll agree that Robert Jordan is the greatest fantasy author of all time.
Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Whenever there was a murder, I found it fun to try and guess who did it… I loved the unpredictability of it all.

Hanson was my favorite. His daring and swagger are reminiscent of Jaron, one of my favorite fantasy characters.
The Path of Daggers (The Wheel of Time #8) by Robert Jordan
You’ll find it greatly interesting if you don’t mind reading top-class character-building at the expense of plot progress.
Winter’s Heart (The Wheel of Time #9) by Robert Jordan
Also, the character development has reached a level where readers can actually identify characters by their speech, mannerisms and actions. It’s the height of realism.
The Tyranny of Faith (Empire of the Wolf #2) by Richard Swan
Good job, Mr Richard Swan. Us fans of yours eagerly anticipate the coming of nightfall to the Empire of the Wolf.
The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf #1) by Richard Swan

Aiduel’s Sin (The Illborn Saga #2) by Daniel T. Jackson
Never in my history of reading epic fantasy protagonists have I had cause to hate a character that was previously my favorite!
Duel at Araluen (Royal Ranger #3) by John Flanagan
Duel at Araluen is a fast-paced, fun read that you can finish in a couple of sittings (or one sitting if you have enough spare time).
The Red Fox Clan (The Royal Ranger #2) by John Flanagan
Maddie is a great MC with badass slingshot skills. I must say that I saw the plot twist a mile off, but it didn’t take away my enjoyment when it eventually played out.
