R A Salvatore recommends
Ghost King (1988)
(Sipstrassi : Stones of Power, book 1)
David Gemmell
"David Gemmell tells a tale of very real adventure, the stuff of true epic fantasy."
Wit'ch Fire (1998)
(Banned and the Banished, book 1)
James Clemens
"Wit'ch Fire grabs at your heart ... A brutal and beautiful ride. I couldn't put the darned book down."
The Changeling War (1999)
(Changeling, book 1)
Peter Garrison (Craig Shaw Gardner)
"Original and fresh... An amazing addition to the genre."
Wizards' Conclave (2004)
(Dragonlance : Age of Mortals, book 5)
Douglas Niles
"Absolutely nobody builds a more convincing fantasy realm than Doug Niles."
A Darkness Forged in Fire (2008)
(Iron Elves, book 1)
Chris Evans
"I'm always thrilled by seeing a new author press the boundaries of the conventions of fantasy. Chris Evans does just that - taking the broad sword and sorcery archetypes and placing them squarely in a new and exciting environment."
The Horned Blade (2015)
(Dragonrealm: The Turning War, book 3)
Richard A Knaak
"Full of energy....Great world building [and] memorable characters...Its easy to see why Richard has enjoyed so much success!."
The Grey Bastards (2015)
(Lot Lands, book 1)
Jonathan French
"A funny thing happens when reading The Grey Bastards. You’re rolling along, smiling at the novelties on display, but then, almost without warning, you find yourself truly in the world French has created, and it all becomes wonderfully familiar and convincing. The world-building creates exactly the kind of seamless transition that makes fantasy literature compelling, informative, and just plain fun."
The Summer Dragon (2016)
(Evertide, book 1)
Todd Lockwood
"It's no surprise that Todd Lockwood can build a wonderful setting and world—he does it with his art all the time. But what strikes me about The Summer Dragon is that the shining elements of this novel are the characters. Using words instead of his paintbrush, Todd builds characters you care about, laugh with and cheer for."
Witchy Eye (2017)
(Witchy Eye, book 1)
D J Butler
"…you can’t stop yourself from taking another bite… and another… and another…. I didn’t want to stop reading…. Kudos!"
Child of Light (2021)
Terry Brooks
"Terry Brooks unleashed is a wonderful thing. In Child of Light, he’s teasing us with a world that is both fairy tale and deadly serious, and keeping us off guard the entire time, unsure of how to take . . . anyone and anything. It’s not really a ‘mystery,’ but it is, and even with the startling reveals, there’s so much left to explore and discover. I want to go back to Viridian Deep and I know that I will."
