This started as a reply in the "What did you just read" thread, but I got carried away.
I'm starting the 3rd Lightbringer book. Just got me thinking, there's way too much fantasy(normal, modern, and urban) I'm trying to start or catch up on=P Just looking at my Calibre. And these are only the fairly recent ones that I personally am not caught up on, I still haven't started Chronicles of Amber or Black Company.
Alphabetical order by author name.
The Long Price Quartet(finished series) andThe Dagger and the Coin(ongoing) by Daniel Abraham. Haven't started either.
The Prince of Nothingby R Scott Bakker. Read the first one when it was released, got distracted before the follow ups ever came out. Have read a lot of people that hated this one so I haven't made it a priority.
The Traitor Son Cycleby Miles Cameron, this is the one Antithesisjust mentioned.
Felix Castorby Mike Carey. These were suggested for Harry Dresden fans. He's a modern day exorcist in London in a world where the dead coming back has become accepted fact fairly recently. First book was decent, good mix of the mystical and practical detective work.
Dreams and Shadowsby C Robert Cargill. This was just on a bunch of lists of best fantasy of 2013. Glowing praise. Haven't started it yet but I think the 2nd book came out this year. No real clue how it is.
Shadow Opsby Myke Cole. 3rd book is fairly recently out. Love the world, modern day military companies that use magic users to secure a foothold in an alternate world. But the main character of the first book is an obnoxious whiny flipflopper. 2nd book fixes that for the most part and you get a much more interesting main character for most of it.
The Grimnoir Chroniclesby Larry Correia. Magic detective. More Dresden alternative stuff. It's supposed to be pretty good, and I like his other series(Monster Hunter International).
Shadowdanceby David Dalglish. Honestly, I think I saw these on a list of best fantasy book covers or some shit. No idea what this is, but I like assassin books. I think I've heard that one of his other series was good maybe...
The Magister Trilogyby C.S. Friedman. No idea what this is about, but theColdfire Trilogyby her was dope.
Craft Sequenceby Max Gladstone. Professional necromancers, dead gods, law firms, the synopsis of this one just really caught my eye.
The Faithful and the Fallenby John Gwynne. I think this was another one from the good covers list. Sounds pretty generic, no idea if it's any good.
Alex Verysby Benedict Jacka. Modern, another from the Dresden fill in list.
Pax Arcanaby Elliot James. This might be from the covers list as well...Prince Charming is a trained monster killer who becomes a werewolf. And other stuff happens I guess. Might never start this one...
Sandman Slimby Richard Kadrey. More Dresden fill in. Plus he's a hitman(or ex-hitman or something). And it's supposed to be pretty funny, should get to this one at some point.
Swords of Good Menby Snorri Kristjansson. VIKINGS! By a real Icelandic dude. Need to get on this.
The Powder Mageby Brian McClellan. Wizards and guns. Fuck yes, why have I not started this one yet? Supposed to be pretty good too from what I've been told.
Imager Portfolioby L.E. Modesitt Jr. Really just got these because I enjoyedThe Saga of Reclucebooks. Plus he writes like a maniac, total Brandon Sanderson workrate(55 books in 27 years).
Drakenfeldby Mark Charan Newton. Think this was from the nice covers list, but the summary was just a nice interesting political thriller type fantasy.
King Henry Tapesby Richard Raley. This is written byour very own Nebuchadnezzar. I downloaded it when he first posted that because I liked the synopsis. I should really get around to actually reading the book.
Steelhavenby Richard Ford. This was on some list or other that convinced me to download it. I do that a lot(obviously).
Raven's Shadowby Anthony Ryan. Read almost all good things about this series, should really start.
Grim Companyby Luke Scull. Military fantasy. Sounds like a sort of small scale Malazan. Was really looking forward to this when I got it, then I forgot about it. I do that a lot too(obviously).
Foreworldby Neal Stephenson and like 50 other writers. Alternate fantasy history thing also known as The Mongoliad. About Europeans pushing back the Mongol invasion with might and magic I guess. This one is pretty well known, and I just had to grab it when I was all in to theConquererby Conn Iggulden.
The Acts of Caineby Matthew Woodring Stover. Read the first one, it's an interesting twist. In the future we find a way to send people to another world that is sort of a generic middle ages fantasy world. We, naturally, decide the best use of this technology is to send people there with implanted recording software to become fantasy type heroes for our entertainment.
The Riyria Chroniclesby Michael J. Sullivan. I know very little about this series, but have had it recommended by a ton of people. Should really just read the damn thing already. Plus Sullivan is a regular poster on the fantasy Subreddit so I'd like to support him.
The Shadow Campaignsby Django Wexler. Swords, guns, magic...WHY AM I NOT READING THIS?
