I have taken almost a year long break from reading fiction to focus on non-fiction. I am ready to start reading fiction again, but after such a long break I have no idea where to start.

Here are some books I have enjoyed in the past:

  • Dragon's Egg (Robert L. Forward)
  • The Damned Trilogy (Alan Dean Foster)
  • Mage Errant series (John Bierce)
  • Cradle series (Will Wight)
  • Gods of Blood and Powder (Brian Mckellan)
  • The Spiral Wars (Joel Shepard)
  • Basically everything Brandon Sanderson has written

For some additional fantasy options that were enjoyed by a fellow Sanderson fan:

I will never miss an opportunity to plug Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself and the others in the First Law series are excellent and will get you about 10 books worth of excellent stories.

Chris Buehlman's The Blacktongue Thief is also quite good and the third in the series after the first book and a prequel come out later this year.

Red Rising and the following books in the series by Pierce Brown are very good and very popular.

James Islington's Hierarchy and Licanius books were quite good.
