I am looking for some more Adult Fantasy, I just finished all of Martin's and need more!!!

Don't get me wrong I also just finished the First book of the Bartimaeus Trilogy and really enjoyed it, but I would like to find more Adult books writen more for adults than teens.

Thanks!

The recommendations thread can give you some help if you like Martin. I always go here (http://www.sffworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285) when I liked and author and want more of that style.

Can you be more specific as to what you are looking for when you say "adult"?

You know I guess I really don't know. I just noticed on Barns & Noble that Martin's books were listed as Adult Fantasy and Stroud's were listed as YA. So I thought I would ask. Now that you ask that question I asked myself well you liked Stroud's so does it matter how its listed?.....Ok I think I am making no sense now. I was up to late and my eyes are very heavy :)

Well, I personally have never read Martin (its on my list). If you are looking for definitively not YA then my quick list would be:

Joe Abercrombie
Brian Ruckley
Scott Lynch
Raymond Feist (one of my favs)

This should get you started. Some of these are more adult than others.

Steven Erikson - The Malazan Book of the Fallen
Scott Bakker - The Prince of Nothing
Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth
Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time
Lynn Flewelling - All
Patrick Rothfuss - The Kingkiller Chronicle
James Herbert - The magic Cottage
Stephen R Donaldson - Thomas Covenant
Jim Butcher - Dresden Files (This is a mix of horror, SciFi and Fantasy)
Roger Zelazny - Amber

I'd say definitely Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series qualifies.

I'd say definitely Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series qualifies.

Seconded. You'll never find that marketed as YA, yet the books are top-notch fantasy.

I'd say definitely Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series qualifies.

Those books are on my to read list as well. I started the first but put it down (wasn't what I was in the mood for). The first part that read was pretty good though. I liked the writing style at least and do plan to go back. Aren't there like 8 books planned in that series?

Richard Morgan's The Steel Remains...a fresh release; it just doesn't get more adult & controversial than that :)

i think abercrombie is your best bet, although i haven't read steel remains or anything from prince of nothing.
