Good fantasy series or saga.
A really great saga of fantasy books in my opinion is the Riftwar Saga. It is written by Raymond E. Feist. The books in the series are Magician:Apprentice,Magician:Master(or sometimes one book Magician),Silverthorn,and a Darkness at Sethanon.These are the best of his.He has oter books with the same or related characters in them also.He also has other sagas whitch are pretty good too.These books have a good mixture of fighting and romance.It also has points that are just great story advancers.
Also for you Sci-Fi fans and Star Wars fans finding good novels aren't easy.Ones I recomend are the bounty hunter books.Also for the younger fans, the Star Wars Jedi Apprentice books are great. |

If I recall, Mr. Entmoot himself, bmilder is a Riftwar fan... back in the messageboard's olden (and I mean really olden) days, there was a whole section dedicated to Riftwar, but it didn't spur too much interest back then.
I myself have never read it. As for Star Wars, I don't recommend touching the books at all, but some people such as yourself do seem to enjoy them...

I found the Riftwar series strangely enaging, but they were stronger on narrative than being particularly well-written. I'd still give it another. How about the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant? After you get past the first book it gets better, and his (Stephen Donaldson's) book of short stories was pretty good too.

Totally in agreement the Han Solo trilogy is fan dabi dozy!!!!! I also adore the new Robert Jorden Wheel of Time books- they're quite similar to LOTR but not quite as- don't know how to put it- its kind of a different sort of magic. Mx

I know what you mean, they're similar, but completely different.
