Good Fantasy to get over the Post Harry Potter Hangover
Commentary by: Frederick Cholowski
Well the Potter film franchise is coming to an end. What are you going to read/watch!!!!! You probably have a good idea but in case your super duper lost I'm here to recommend some fantasy!
A Song of Ice and Fire
First book: A Game of Thrones
Author: George R.R. Martin
This is my #1 recommendation. I love this series because it's so unpredictable. No one is safe and you never know what's going to happen next. I'm on the four of five available books right now and am loving every second. Also an HBO original series titled Game of Thrones has been made based on the books and it is also amazing!!
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
First book: The Alchemist
Author: Michael Scott
This is a fun little series from Irish fantasy writer Michael Scott. It's really fast pace and messes with a lot of mythology in ways that sort of make sense. It may not be the extreme rich detailed fantasy like the lord of the rings or song of ice and fire but for what it is it's a lot of fun.
The Inheritance Cycle
First book: Eragon
Author: Christopher Paolini
The fourth book which has taken forever to come out is finally coming in November this is a great time to get into the franchise. It is a little slow sometimes and the story may resemble Star Wars at times but it's also very detailed and a lot of fun.
Lord of the Rings
First book: The Fellowship of the Ring
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
Who hasn't read these books or at least watched the movies. Tolkien's Lord of The Ring's remains one of the premier examples of fantasy. If you haven't read these why haven't you? That is all I'm going to say
Well there you go a place to start for now, and if you read all these well props to you. Anyways there you go if you have any favorites you can put them in the comments.
