THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLES
Don't kdding when I say that's the best I've ever read or seen or whatever.
But if you read them and like them, there will be a time when you discover the last part isn't already and you will hate us.
One friend already does. and in the facebook spainsh page, half of the comments are reagrding that.
So believe me when I say that you should only read this if you *really* want something good.

If you want something at the same level, or even better than KKC, read The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. It's even got a higher rating than KKC on goodreads.

I read it. It was awesome jajaja. Patiently waiting the arrival to Spain of the second book.

But really, even comparing KKC with Stormlight Archive it's...

This is all in my opinion. But although Stormlight has better world (for me), KKC is almost like a narrrated poem. It has Auri (>.<), it has the clues all along the books, it has the incredible story...

TWOK has Syl. *^* 

Well, don't want to be rude, but it's pretty much the same with Berserk. A strong guy, who was had very hard times, with a little fairy, (althrough I'll agree Syl is more cute) or an honorspren, or whatever.

Fuck Berserk o/

Let's add more to my list!

 

Hellequin Chronicles

The Chronicles of Nick (Loved it, Nick is an awesome protagonist).

Zero Sight

[shelly]

Tons of books!

( Because my memory is random and won't let me remember them all at once and I don't want to make tons of posts, I'll keep adding to this one. Maybe. When I remember.)

 

Sabriel !

Spoiler

I loved its take on the 'fighting the undead' thing. Bells man. Bells. Fear the bells. Respect the bells.

Also, the idea of 7 levels of death was very interesting.

 

Its sequel Lirael, too.

Spoiler

The Clayr library was great to imagine, both the architecture described and the things within.

 

The Bartimaeus books

Spoiler

were too fun and funny. I liked reading about the summoning system. The main characters personality was what really made me love it. It was the first book with that style I read, so it was like finding a gem, and I still haven't seen anything that does what it did better. Though I did get addicted to manga soon after and mostly stopped reading novels....

 

The Earthsea books

Spoiler

are great when you want to spend a lot of time with each sentence, letting each meaning sink in. I found that I was forced to slow down while reading it, and its also a little in the philosophy of the books (if I'm remembering right) that words carry power, which makes it an interesting experience. That's why I love all the Earthsea books I've read.

 

All the books by Yu Wo

Spoiler

... >.>  Don't judge me. They're all hilarious. Her style is very fun~  (so much so that an April fools joke by the translators that the main character of one story got turned into a woman made me think "This must be a trick... But Yu Wo... She just might do it o_o ..." and I love that uncertainty, it adds spice! Because normal storylines are too predictable. Until you start expecting the unexpected and it becomes expected.... @__@ nevermind..

A Storm of Swords The best book in ASOIF series. Last two books in ASOIF have been rather average but A Storm of Swords is one of the best novel ever written. I wish Martin makes the upcoming sixth book (Winds of Winter) as good as third novel.

Gormenghast It had one of the best prose I have ever read. It's a rare gem in fantasy which has alien world without relying on usual sword & sorecery elements! Please give it a try as it's underrated
