Running out of epic fantasy books to read, what do i read next?

[Nikhil]

I will just list all the series i have read (and i really enjoyed), would like something similar:
1) Mistborn (all 6)
2) Robin hobb (14 books upto rainwild chronicle's which i kinda got lost interest into after wards)
3) Stromlight (bestestest ever)
4) nightangel
5) Elantris
6) Reckoners
7) The name of the wind (2 books)
8) Game of thrones
9) Light bringer (currently reading 3rd book),

I know many people have asked similar question already about 100 times, but rarely anyone answers beyond these books, which i have already finished...
Thanks in advance :)

Robert Jordan - wheel of Time
Steven Erikson - Malazan books of the fallen
N.K. Jemisin - The broken earth trilogy (currently two books finished)
N.K. Jemisin - a hundred thousand kingdoms
Brian McClellan - Powder Mage trilogy

These are what comes to my mind spontaneously. I might add more ;)

[Mitchell]

-Sorcery Ascendant Sequence (3rd and final book about to be released)
-The Wakening by Jonathan Renshaw (better than Name of the Wind imo, but only one book so far)
-The First Law series
-Codex Alera (My fav series of all time. MUST READ!!)
-And also the Red Rising trilogy. (2nd fav series ever. Sci-fi, not fantasy, but it has swords!)

thank you, will check out

I'm really enjoying The Vagrant trilogy by Peter Newman, it's kind've a sci-fi fantasy blend. It's got winged swords and sky ships, what more could you want?

[Maikel]

Oh and give The Library at Mount Chart a try. It's more urban than high fantasy but it's an excellent book (maybe a bit on the darker side but then again so are Erikson's books and maybe also Jemisin's Broke Earth books).

-the riyria chronicles are really good (by Micheal J Sullivan)
-brian McClellan's powder mage trilogy
-I also liked the five kingdoms from Brandon Mull (but IDK if it would be to much for young readers)
and on brandon sanderson's site there is a free novelette that I just read it's really small but I really liked it (Defending Elysium)

I second the Red Rising trilogy. I'm much more of a fantasy fan than a Sci-Fi, but it's one of my favorite series. So well written.

Also The Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch, beginning with The Lies of Locke Lamora. It's a really fun series.

[Jonathan]

I completely recommend Brian McClellan's Powdermage Trilogy.
I have also read a lot of his short stories. They are all good.

[Kevin]

I'd recommend The Ryiria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan too. It's classic fantasy but it doesn't get too bogged down with the old tropes, just a fun read that also has some depth to the characters.

I second the wheel of time series and naomi novik writes great epic fantasy that doesn't feel like everything else you've read if you don't mind the focus on the heroine and Terry Pratchett Discworld series especially the guards and witches archs are both great epic fantasy and lots of humour.

[Nikhil]

thank you everyone for all great suggestions, i will definitely check all the books out, especially gentleman basterds, and red rising i think, a couple of people have suggested already, and of course, wheel of no doubt, only reason i havent started it yet because some reviews say its very slow, otherwise a great series... i cant stop once i start a book/ series, i dont want to take on a huge series which i dont really enjoy that much but also cant just leave because i just need to find out how it ends, :P
thanks again for all the great replies :)

The fact that you listed Stormlight as your favorite, which I am in a 100% agreement, I would recommend the following:

1. Riyria Revelations
2. The First Law Series
3. Malazan Books of the Fallen (This is a great book but VERY VERY EPIC)

[Andrew]

I would recommend the Prince of Nothing series and the follow up Aspect Emperor series by Scott Bakker, very epic, very deep. Also if you want some good fantasy with a dose of humor go with Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series. And for classic go with Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant (two trilogies and a quintet).

[Cameron]

Wheel of Time! :)

[Drew]

If you want to lose interest in a series again after you get invested, go with Wheel of Time (*takes cover*). But you absolutely have to read everything by Abercrombie. First Law series is just the best characterization in fantasy other than Sanderson. Must read.

[Roland of Gilead]

Yeah I personally would not suggest Wheel of Time, though Sanderson does a great job of finishing it, most of the latter half of the massive series is filler. First Law rocks, as mentioned, Red Rising is spectacular, and though the last book in the series blows, Raven's Shadow trilogy by Anthony Ryan is very good. The first book in the series, Blood Song, is one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time. Tower Lord is very good and Queen of Fire is a stinker. I'll never forgive him...

[Abigail]

I cannot recommend the Gentlemen Bastard series enough.

[Clay]

I enjoyed and would recommend The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington

If you will take this suggestion and read the Raven's Shadow Trilogy, do yourself a favor and read it as a duology. Don't read the last book, Queen of Fire for your own sake. Make up your own ending if you will. Chances are, your ending will be a much better version.

This may seem harsh, but it is the reality of the situation.

[Hashim]

Goksenin, I kinda agree with you, but I would go so far as to recommend Blood Song as a standalone novel. It may not have been as poorly done as Queen of Fire, but it's in the second book where the format, writing style, and characters all change.

[Michael]

Gentlemans bastards series by Scott Lynch... First book Lies of Locke Lamora I thought was by far the best in the series/ The First Law Trilogy was Really good. I will come back later and put more thought into it but The First Law Trilogy was Deff worth bumping up on your 'to read list' I like these posts cause I look at all the suggestions and always find something I haven't read yet!

[Aidan Lorenz]

I concur with recommending the Gentlemen Bastards. Also, Red Rising series by Pierce Brown is a solid trilogy. It's sci-fi-ish though so it depends on your taste.

[Jonathan]

If you haven't tried Brian McClellan's powdermage trilogy yet you really need to give it a try. I know I said it in a post earlier, but he was a student of Brandon Sanderson and has the ability to tell a great story.
