I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.
What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?
Second recommendation for the Dragonlance series. They were a DnD campaign turned into a trilogy IIRC, and are very enjoyable to read. I must have reread the original trilogy (dragons of autumn, winter, and spring) a good dozen times over the years.
I’d start with the first trilogy by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman and go from there. The expanded universe has some great novels but some so-so ones as well.
