Belgariad was ok, bit of a LOTR rip off. The next series The Mallorean was a bit more like hard work. I think he exhausted all of his ideas in the first series..

I really enjoyed it and it's not my go to genre, definitely preferred it over LOTR, but I can read pretty much anything. My 14 yr old has just finished it and enjoyed it, but it's a big commitment. I've only read the ones written by Robert Jordan, I don't know how well they continued after his death under a new author.

Young man, captured and tortured during WW2 by the Japanese. Meets torturer late in life and majes his peace. Was made into a film starring Colin Firth.

Can't message you so here's a huge post

I'm a huge Science Fantasy fan

My favourite authors:

David Eddings- Belgariad, Mallorean, Ruby Knight,Tamuli

Raymond E Feist - complete Krondor collection, its about 10 different trilogys based on same characters set in the same world.

David Gemmel - mainly Drenai Series but done others as well

Mercedes Lackey - Huge Bibliography, my favourites are Valdemar Series, Obsidian Series, Elemental Masters series but to be honest not read anything of hers I haven't liked. Way too many to give a synopsis for all of them but you can either google them or ask me about them.

Personally I liked Tad William's Otherlands series which is set in a reasonably near future and is Virtual Reality based but also draws on mythology stories especially Egyptian.

The Culture series by Iain M. Banks are a good read if you like your Sci First.
