So, since we all love Harry Potter so much, I thought it would be a good idea for other readers like myself to recommend any other fantasy books/series they like.
Please keep recommendations to fantasy books, otherwise it will get too crowed to quickly. Appreciatively, Viva. Okay, recommended books/series from me. A lot of mine are Australian authors, but I know that these are books available in other countries. Trudi Canavan: The Black Magician Trilogy Consisting of The Magican's Guild, The Novice, The High Lord . It is about a young girl, called Sonea, who is the better part of a "slum girl," someone of the lowest class. In the yearly purge of vagrants from the city, Sonea, so sick of how she and her fellow friends and family are treated, throws a rock at the Magical Barrier that keeps the good away from the bad...and it goes through! Now it's a race against time for the Magicians to find her and train her newly awakened powers before her magic spins out of control. But Sonea has other ideas... Very good series, I recommend to anyone. Isobelle Carmody The Obernewtyn Chronicles Consisting of: Obernewtyn, The Farseekers, Ashling, The Keeping Place, The Sending (not yet published). After "The Great White" (aka, nuclear holocaust) Society turns back it's clocks to the medieval era, no electricty, and books are forbidden. The series follow a young girl, Elspeth, deemed a misfit by society, ends up at the secretive place in the mountains called Obernewtyn. Here, along with some newly found friends, she discovers something wicked is happening, and it involves all the children at Obernewtyn. For most of the people here possess powerful mind talents that people woundn't even dream about, including Elspeth. One of my first ever series, and at 20, I still thoughly love it. More suited to 14 year olds at the start, but evolves into darker novels as they progress. Mercedes Lackey The Valdemar Series Consisting of: Way way too many books! The Valdemar series follows the life and times of "Heralds" champions of the Queen and the country of Valdemars last resort. They posses wonderful spirit horses called "companions" that are a gift from the gods and with a special bond between rider and companion, they are up to facing anything. Awesome, awesome series. Too hard to describe. I would say go to Amazon or similar to read up on these books. American author so it's really really hard to find in Australia  Kate Constable Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy Consisting of : The Singer of All Songs, The Waterless Sea, The Tenth Power Calwyn has lived all her life behind the enchated wall of Ice that surrounds the Preistesses of Antaris. But when a stranger appears inside the wall, speaking of danger, she abandons her post with the preistesses and goes on a journey to discover just what has happend to the other magic-singers of the world. I recommend this series to any younger kids, 14 or even younger if they are a good reader. I had plenty more authors and series, but I just looked at the length of my post and realised I went a bit nuts. So maybe I'll add some more in the future. -------------------- <a href="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#quiz:results:121639"><img src="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/newquiz/take_quiz/image_sm/121639" /></a>
