    not in any particular order:
    • 1 Barbara Hambly - The Darwath series. Nice if you are looking for something a little different from the cliched wizards tossing spells left and right.
    • 2 JV Jones - The Baker's Boy Series. Compelling characters and a gripping story.
    • 3 Margaret Wiess and Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance founders) - The Death Gate Cycle. Seven of the Finest fantasy books ever. Yes, better than Dragonlance (IMHO).
    • 4 Alan Cole and Chris Bunch - The Anteros. A butch lesbian adventurer? Hell yeah! Note: that's NOT why it's in my top 5, it's just a great series.
    • 5 Douglas Niles - The Moonshae Trilogy. One of the early Forgotten Realms series, and one of the best. Better than Ed greenwood! :rolleyes:

    1) Lord of the Rings

    2) Earthsea series by Ursula LeGuin

    3) Riddlemaster of Hed series by Patricia Mckillip

    4) Dragon Prince/Dragon Star series by Melanie Rawn.

    5) The Eternal Champion series by Michael Moorcock (arguably more than one series, but frequent enough crossovers to lump them all together).
