Some say it starts out slowly, even though I never felt that way, but the series is overall pretty much what you described.


Read all of this except the second half of the last book and it is really good. If you like it you should consider branching out into shadowlands more sci-fi but still very very good. Oh those that have been suggested so far I would rank him the highest...Feist always seemed a little bit to much like Shanarra for me (which if you haven't read those you might like them but they are pretty generic)

"The Lies of Locke Lamora" is the one that springs most readily to mind. Nebhead - 01/04/2012 10:36:41 PM 1831 Views

Yes, if you don't mind some swearing, the Locke Lamora books are lots of fun. Nate - 01/04/2012 10:57:56 PM 1297 Views

I think Brandon Sanderson would be great for you beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:43:11 PM 1294 Views
Also, for a different feel, but also quite good: The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:46:18 PM 1319 Views
Read the first few, then stopped. Always planned on returning. Thanks. *NM* Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:09:17 AM 744 Views
How about Robin Hobb? Maria - 02/04/2012 11:20:58 PM 1371 Views
Don't like Hobb. Thanks anyway! Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:11:06 AM 1423 Views
If you want something like Wheel of Time just read Goodkind. He copied Jordan. *NM* Tom - 03/04/2012 04:18:10 AM 639 Views

It starts out excruciatingly slow. And the plot was boring. Thanks *NM* Cuppa - 18/04/2012 04:33:04 PM 663 Views
