198122 I'm looking for scifi/fantasy books featuring brothers - but fighting on the same side, not against each other, books where the fact that they are brothers means something, where they have some deeper bond, where it's not just a random thing that the book could do just as well without. Examples?

Fantasy: Jane S. Fancher's "Dance of the Rings" trilogy

Scifi: Wen Spencer's "Endless Blue" or the "Ukiah Oregon" series

Any recommendations?

1154130 Pandemonium by Daryl Gregory

The Shadow Year by Jeffrey Ford

Also, Roger Zelazny's Amber series features brothers on both sides of the struggles.

1956959 Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman starts the Dragonlance Chronicles. It has a large group of characters, including a pair of twins.

I'm currently reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, which also has a set of twin brothers. They're more supporting cast than main characters though.

Mirror Dance is the most prominent of these.

903390 Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga series features a group of brothers (sons of a king), who are important characters (and take family ties seriously), and who all fight on the same side.
