Here are the first three novels of a classic series, The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara, and The Wishsong of Shannara—the beginning of a phenomenal epic of good and evil.

This is the introduction to a massive world of books that author Terry Brooks has written and I have enjoyed. Spanning multiple eras, families, places, worlds, it all comes back to these books that establish this world.

This is a good series for young readers. The writing isnt stellar but the world and emotions speak to a young audience. Love, Loyalty, Morality. All put together in a neat Vampire and Werewolf love triangle.

A four-book fantasy series following farm boy Eragon's transformation into a Dragon Rider. Alongside his dragon, he faces magic, betrayal, and battles while trying to overthrow an evil king in Alagaësia.

Classic structure of the chosen one meant to save the world. Written by an extremly young author, the world Paloni created is astounding. Moments of imaturty in the early books blossom in to astounding structure later on. A beautiful world full of ma...
