Fantasy recommendations

[Farseer]

I did respond to Valarya yesterday but, alas, my post has not posted!

Both of my sons are definitely readers, having both read all of the RotE books right up to the beginning of DK where they both halted and both decided that they would refuse to go any further...and both for the same reason!...and nothing their mother can say will make them keep going... ...though it may help somewhat that my husband is currently managing to progress through it albeit to my extreme surprise! *crosses fingers* *touches wood*

I have tried to suss out if they would like to read the AC books but, as I want to give them as gifts, I can't be asking them outright or they'll be on to me immediately! I'll just have to go ahead and buy them I think.

My second eldest is in the early stages of ASoIaF and loving it so it will be some time before he's needing anything to read...not to mention the many books still on our bookshelf that he is yet to get through.

Both would have been considered WoW addicts in their time but seem to have (thankfully!) got over their addictions these last couple of years...but possibly that has something to do with our internet connection more than anything else.

I know I said that I liked them elsewhere but I would recommend the Sara Douglass books in her Darkglass Mountain series. Though I haven't read The Axis Trilogy or The Wayfarer Redemption books yet (set in the same worlds), or Threshold and Beyond the Hanging Wall, please make sure you do read those first! They are in my to-read pile now that I know I messed up...
