A lot of people recommended this book as well. I should really read this book

You need to be a fan, he is epic, the thing i like in his storytelling is his foretelling of what will happen which you will only get at the ending. Its there but you just didnt see it till he reveal it. The endings of his book are always a huge twist and none of his book of different worldbuilding are of even the same style. Meaning, you can expect different thing from each of his series.

Brandon sanderson in my opinion is one of the best epic fantasy writer.

Brent weeks Night Angel triology are slightly weak compared to Brandon sanderson's book, i read brent week's book first and by the 3rd one its just a bit mushy and the ending is just, i mean, its too perfect. That said, i like the ninja sword wielding mage concept though.

One other writer that writes gritty and no holds bar fantasy is Peter V Brett, his daylight war series tells a good story of an evil sort of anti-heroes. I would rank it also higher than Brent Weeks.

As for George R.R Martin, I got to admit I have not stepped into that world yet and are therefore enjoying the tv shows instead. It is a place to start for new readers due to the movie and what not but I am not sure if this is a good thing or not.

That said, I am right now in Robert Jordan epic fantasy novel, Wheels of Times series, the first 4 books was good but by the 10th book the story is getting a bit stagnant and a lot of loose ends untied. He died before he finish the series and my favourite author Brandon Sanderson has taken over the job to finish up the series which is book 12, A memory of light (f i am not mistaken) out next year.

Lastly, if you want to try a fantasy novel of different sort. I would suggest Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the wind. That is Epic.

To end, here are in top to bottom order of books that i think are the best.

1. Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the wind
2. Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn & The Way of kings.
3. Peter V Brett - Daylight War
4. Brent Weeks - Night Angel trilogy

currently Gone Baby Gone - Dennis Lehane

after that - The Pact - Jodi Picoult

Judith mcnaught perfect

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I absolutely love how this novel was written. It definitely describes the situation and emotions of that character perfectly. Lovin it so far. <3
