7 Essential Fantasy Series - Page 2

The Hobbit was the first real novel I read as a kid and ever since I've been on a steady reader's diet of magic and adventure. Which is why a list of essential fantasy series makes perfect sense as my first official reading list.The series I chose are a combination of well-known and established "fantasy pillars" and exciting new additions to the genre. I avoided children's books (with the exception of The Hobbit) and I limited myself to epic fantasy as opposed to other sub-genres and off-shoots.My hope is that if you're a life time fantasy fan like myself you'll recognize some solid pillars of the genre while discovering a few new and promising titles too. And if you're new (or relatively new) to reading fantasy you'll get to experience some of the very best this genre has to offer right out of the gate.
