I am a big fan of Fantasy Fiction but I am also very particular and picky about which books and series I choose to read, and eventually which books I like.
Here are the top 2 Fantasy Fiction books on my TBR:
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I have nearly started this series SO many times, and I keep kicking myself for still not having started it. I have wanted to read it for so long, and have extremely high hopes for it, I just hope that I will love it as much as I anticipate.
Outlander is a New York Times bestseller, and has earned the praise of critics and captured the hearts of millions of fans. The story introduces two great characters, Claire Beauchamp Randall and Jamie Fraser, in a spellbinding novel of passion and history that combines exhilarating adventure with a love story for the ages.
Rated 4.6 on amazon.com
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
This book was recommended to me by a fellow blogger, and once I checked it out, it quickly made it to my list of books to read.
Another best seller and award winner.
Graceling tells the story of the vulnerable yet strong Katsa, a smart, beautiful teenager who lives in a world where selected people are given a Grace, a special talent that can be anything from dancing to swimming. Katsa’s is killing. She is forced to use her extreme skills as his thug. Along the way, Katsa must learn to decipher the true nature of her Grace.
Rated 4.3 on amazon.com

Sorry to say but I found Outlander boring. I can’t get very far into it before I turn to something else. But it’s hugely popular, so I must be unusual 🙂

We are all different, there are so many books that others loved that I was totally un-amused by! 🙂

I absolutely loved the Outlander series!! The characters stick with you and keep you reading. It took me awhile to actually sit down and read these books, but when I did I was not disappointed. I got many of my friends hooked on the series as well. It’s best to spread out the reading, not binge on all of them at once.

I loved Graceling. Fast read, great worldbuilding, fun magic, strong female characters, etc. The companion books are great also. I haven’t heard from anyone yet who disliked it.

I haven’t read Outlander, but I loved Graceling. It stands out, has a good plot, interesting characters, and adds jokes here and there. A good read:)

I hope I meet someone whose Grace is unrivaled coffee making prowess. What a useful superpower that would be.

I pretty much devoured all of Cashore’s books so far, and I loved them all. Graceling is definitely worth a read. So is Fire. And Bitterblue. And…yeah, just all of Cashore. XD
I just started Outlander a week ago, actually, but I had to switch out the hardcover for the audiobook because it is a slow read, IMO, and I’ve already started reading another 800+ page read. I expect a slow-burning romance, which is nice to see from time to time. It also helps that I get to hear the Scottish brogue in the audiobook, haha.

Didn’t read any of these. I might need to check them out. I’ve gotten so picky with books I read it’s gotten pretty hard to find something I’d actually enjoy and finish. 😦

I did, and I agree it was well written and a good concept, it just couldn’t hold my interest. I’ll probably revisit the series down the road though.
