Bujold's Curse of Chalion is good fantasy. It's not a series though. I've heard that a sequel is coming some time.

Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb, Fionavar trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay and all of Sara Douglass's books. She's got three trilogies out and the first of a new series called the Troy game. I think that those of you in the US are a bit behind the publishing scedule though as she's an Australian writer who has only got into the US market recently. Definitely recommend her though.

What about the sword of Shanarra series, or Robert Jordan and George RR Martin???

There is another series by Robin Hobb with the first book called the "fools errand" (can't remember series name) but it's really good if you liked books such as LOTR and David Gemmells books you'll enjoy this (if you haven't already read it).

I'm new to this forum and have no clue on how things work. I have read the Edge Chronicles - the Curse of the Gloamglozer and the Twig series but not Vox or the Last of the Sky Pirates. I am looking for a new series of books to read.

Welcome Bearcannon, interesting name by the way,

If you go to the right side of the screen and click on the "new last day" thingamjig, you'll probably see a little folder that has the subject about looking for good series to read. (At the moment I am too lazy to find out exactly where it is for you,

I saw this posted several times, and I'm not sure if somebody has said this yet. LOTR is not a series. LOTR was written as a single book and therfor should be classified as one. However; it has been published as a trilogy, which is still not a series. A series are multiple works which are written separately in a flowing fasion as part of an ongoing story telling process. Since they were written as one book and published as three they cannot be a series due to the fact that they are not an ongoing process and technically still one book. I'm sorry but that just annoyed me.

Yes, Magus. That is a key to understanding the novel and to understanding why Tolkein set up things the way that he did in the "trilogy". The decision to make it into a trilogy was the publisher's, because they felt that they couldn't sell a fantasy novel that was that large (look at the size of other fantasies first published back in the early sixties, and you'll see what I'm talking about).
