    14. The Eyes Of A God

    by Marco, John

    • On the same lists

    Very well written fantasy series. Expect the usual grey characterization endemic to all of John Marco's books. Read the other two sequels "Devil's Armor" and "Sword of Angels." Disappointed with...

    15. Weavers Of Saramyr

    by Wooding, Chris

    The Dragoncrown War Cycle book 2

    16. Fortress Draconis

    by Stackpole, Michael A.

    • On the same lists

  17. Shadow Of The Lion

    17. Shadow Of The Lion

    by Lackey, Mercedes

    • On the same lists

    Rich and complex high fantasy, set in an alternate Venice. Somewhat slow, especially at the beginning, but a nice long read for that rainy day. Book gets very good if...

    18. Southern Fire

    by Mckenna, Juliet E.

    19. The Broken Crown

    by West, Michele

    • On the same lists

    Epic in the tradition of Robert Jordan. The characters are well drawn, at the cost of the story's pacing. You will either love West or hate her style. If you...

  20. In Legend Born

    20. In Legend Born

    by Resnick, Laura

    • On the same lists

    Outstanding characterization. Resnick really knows how to write realistic characters. Most of the characters are painted in shades of grey. Her plot is enticing, and after the first few chapters,...

  21. The Prince Of Shadow

    21. The Prince Of Shadow

    by Benjamin, Curt

    • On the same lists

    Benjamin does something unique: he creates an epic fantasy based in an Asian (Chinese mythological) setting. Very good series -- sort of like a Robert Jordan (not as big though!)...

    22. Dragonflight

    by Mccaffrey, Anne

    • On the same lists

    A series where an alien reptile species has been genetically engineered to be dragons who breathe fire and communicate telepathically.

    23. Scar Night

    24. Ill Wind

    by Caine, Rachel

    • On the same lists

    26. The Naming

    by Croggon, Alison

    • On the same lists

    Female-centric epic fantasy that borrows quite freely from Tolkien. It's not a bad read at all, though it's not that good of one either, mainly due to the flat characters...

    28. Lamentation

    by Scholes, Ken

    29. Malice

    by Gwynne, John

    • On the same lists

    An interesting tale with some good mythology woven in, but I found it hard to get into. Some compare it to A Song of Ice and Fire (are not all...

    30. Seven Forges

    by Moore, James A.

    • On the same lists
