Mercedes Lackey's older stuff was good, but when she started writing herself as a character in her Valdamar books it kind of turned me off to her.
I didn't even notice that... which character is she?
I still like the Valdamar books, but after reading some of her other stuff I have less faith in her....
Black Waterlily
The Black Jewels books by Anne Bishop. Dark fantasy, but brilliantly written with characters that I would love to meet.
I'm glad to hear that! I picked up the second book at a library sale, and have been wondering if I should buy the first one to read.
My favorite authors are Megan Whalen Turner and Diana Wynne Jones (I like Harry Potter somewhere next).
Turner's trilogy (so far) that starts with The Thief are my favorite books. The Theif is more of a children's book, but the next two are for a slightly older audience. I love how she is able to portray characters, and court intrigue
smile Jones always has twist endings, which is so much fun. My favorite of her books is Howl's Moving Castle. I actually read it after the anime movie came out, but I'm glad I did because otherwise I think I would have been disappointed in the movie (I really like it, it's just way different).
