Any1 know any good fantasy fiction novel? I wan to finish up my book voucher.

you can head over to the fantasy thread although the last update was last year

You could try books by Maria V. Snyder! She has a couple of series that are pretty good.

Maybe "el Angel del Juego"?
lol what does fantasy mean?
Very unrealistic and dreamy?

Example of fantasy novel: Harry Potter series. Fantasy genre commonly uses magic or supernatural for the story plot or theme.

Oh Mai ... This is old but I might as well post.
Please please do not say Harry potter. It is like saying to watch vampire movie. Watch twilight.

If you are looking for fantasy, start with

Brandon Sanderson
Patrick Rothfuss
Abercrombie

If you are looking for modern fantasy, look over at Jim Butcher

Andychai, fantasy genre are not dreamy or unrealistic. It's like saying sci-fi is realistic and can happen soon.

To quote recent work of fantasy movies, you can look at The Game of thrones which is a strong fantasy world building but focuses on a political, moral and other aspects.

warcraft?

fighting fantasy gamebooks by ian livingstone and steve jackson

For starters, stay away from LOTR, its windy, its old school language and writing style. Tolkien built a world that has been based on a template by many modern author, after a while it does get boring. Dwarfs must be short and sarcastic and funny, elf must be aloof, tree hugger and uses bow. Orcs are stupid and brutish.

Its a formula that have been recycled so many times, it is boring.

Seriously.

The Name of The Wind = Patrick Rothfuss
The Way of Kings = Brandon Sanderson
Mystborn = Brandon Sanderson
The First Law Trilogy = Joe Abercrombie
The Night Angel Trilogy =Brent Weeks

and if you like gritty no hold bar anti-heroes fantasy novel

My personal favourite recommendation

The Demon Cycle = Peter V Brett.

If you are looking a bit more old school, go for:

The Belgariad and Mallorean series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Belgariad

The Death Gate Cycle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_Gate_Cycle

These books really got me hooked up to fantasy .. They are all multibook series but you can always start with Book 1
