Jherg novels, a great look at two cultures with radically different approaches to magic, the dragerian"ELF" sorcery( link through the Emperial orb ), and the eastern"Human" magic ( resembles psionics more than anything. Plus anytime the hero of the story is an professional assassin, with a sense of humor
Raymond E. Feists -
Riftwar Saga and
daughter of the Empire books, where great love daughter of the empire, and how she went from simple girl about to dedicate her life to service of god, to most powerful woman in an Empire.
Elizabeth Moon [/i] - THE DEED OF PAKSENARRION , and The Legacy of Gird. Have read the deed , so many times, that the book is held together with a rubber band, how can you not like a story about a girl who runs away to become a simple merc, and ends up becoming a Paladin, blessed by not just one god, but three(?) gods. A world, where the gods, actually take a roll in what happens to their worshippers
[b] S.M. Stirling and
Shirley Meiers FIFTH MILLENNIUM books-
THE CAGE , SNOW BROTHER, SABER AND SHADOW to name my favorites. While not actually fantasy , as set on earth in far future, after a great cataclysm, the do read like fantasy, with barbarians, witches(PSI), monsters (
RI - horse/ Wolverine cross breed, and
FLIT CAT , a winged house cat, to name my favorites) , as well as a human off shot race the ZAK , short (3-4ft), dark haired, psionics.
