Mistborn, Brent Weeks' Black Prism, McClellan's Powder Mage stuff and Mark Charan Newton's Viljamur books belong in this group as well.įor dark moods: Abercrombie, First Law / Brian Ruckley, Godless World / Paul Kearney, Monachies of Gods. Not among the first - cheated - five, but I like the books.

Feist, Riftwar (the first 4-6 books, the quality detoriated later) Eddings' Elenium and Tamul trilogies.Īnd then there's Jacqueline Carey's naughty Phèdre series I probably shouldn't mention here. Tad Williams, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn / Gemmell's Drenai novels (actually, anything by Gemmell, but Drenai is closest to a series) / Bernard Cornwell, Warlord trilogy / Janny Wurts, War of Light and Shadow / Lois McMaster Bujold, Curse of Chalion and sequels (and storms, write those remaining two books already), Kurtz's Deryni series.
