Well I’m craving something in this genre but I’m a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I’m not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?

I’m looking for something in a high fantasy setting. I’m not too keen on heavy politics and war driven plots (though, I can read that ). What really gets me is interesting characters, good action and magical creatures.

I’ve loved anything Discworld and I’ve also enjoyed the First Law books by Abercrombie.

I’m finding that Tolkien, Sanderson and George RR Martin appear on every fantasy list I come across, so if you do recommend something I’d appreciate it be something other than that.

    I love these books so much. Well, Malazan is what I was referring to.

    Both are great series.

    The humor in Malazan reminds me of the first law. I hate politics for the most part, and war, but the war and politics aren’t really the focus. They’re kinda the setting for telling a lot of smaller stories.
