Robin Hobb
So I just finished another fine trilogy, and with a new book to read on the way I figured I'd throw this out there for all before we finish Deathly Hallows, or ignore it and move one. By far some of the best fantasy writing I've read is done by Robin Hobb and I'd recommend reading all three of her old trilogies. Nine books based in the same world. They were amazing. If you take interest in fantasy books and don't wanna read all nine I'd suggest The Liveship Trader's Trilogy. Piracy, magic, dragons, and more in a trilogy that stands alone and leaves some backdrop info that crosses into The Tawny Man Trilogy. If a desire to read more of her work I'd then have to recommend her Farseer Trilogy and afterward the Tawny Man Trilogy. Those to are tied together and are best read one after the other, starting on the Farseer. I'm sad to finish the last of the related reading material and must again recommend it to any avid reader. Plus if you can read all the Harry Potter books, these are definitely worth looking into at the least.
