I would love to see some of these series on screen. Mistborn would make a pretty cool tv series. Stormlight would be amazing but it would be quite an undertaking

---

I think Mistborn would be too confusing as a movie with its complex magic systems, would be better as a Game of Thrones type tv show.

Butcher's Codex Alera almost seems like YA much of the time. The books are fun but somewhat predictable and too many characters are Mary Sueish. Not quite up to the same standard as his Other Series.

I somewhat agree. Simple and fun. I don't think they are bad as most YA books though! Nothing complex. They are just on a different scale than the epic series in this thread. I find a quick fun series like codex Alera a good light read that fills the void between larger more complex series.

My series updates:
ASOIAF - Waiting
King killer - waiting
Raven's shadow - what a disappointing finish. Book 1 was so good.
Mist born - finished. Solid series.
Dark tower - finished. I disliked the ending, but good journey.
Stormlight - waiting.
Lightbringer - currently 1/2 way through book 1. I'm liking it so far.

I want to try Abercrombie but I don't think he does audiobook formats.

So, I'm through book 2 of 4 of Week's lightbringer. I've gotta say, I'm surprised it doesn't get more hype here. I think it's better than Mistborn. Book 4 comes out this year sometime.

Sanderson did a big update over on reddit about Stormlight 3. Pretty cool stuff to see from an author.

I think it's my favorite series. I know that Eddie Dean is my favorite character. I'd even go so far as to say that books 2, 3, and 4 of that series are among the very best I've ever read in that genre.

Finished book 3 of Lightbringer. I really liked it! Can't wait for book 4. I have too many open series. Here's my completed list and how I ranked them. What say you?

1) A Song of Ice and Fire (GRRM)
2) King Killer (Rothfuss)
3) Lightbringer (Weeks)
4) Stormlight (Sanderson)
5) Dark Tower (King)
6) Mistborn (Sanderson)
7) Raven's Shadow (Ryan)

Based on this thread I bet most say I'm too low on Stormlight. But I just liked the series above it better. Sanderson is great, but he's too PG for me. I need some R content to keep me interested.

Next up: The First Law (Abercrombie)

Good comments. I probably shouldn't have included Dark Tower as its so much different than the rest.

I get as frustrated as everyone else about GRRM's writing, but he's number one on this list for me and it isn't close. No one created a world more interesting and his ability to make you first hate then love characters is awesome. Sanderson is great but again it's not edgy enough for me. A violent warring world where there is no vulgarity or sex isn't realistic to me. But I enjoy them regardless. I figured I'd get blasted for not having Stormlight first. ;-).

I hear you. I like a good mix. Unfortunately you often have either pg bad relationship writing like Jordan or Martin who goes over board the other way imo. I have the incomplete sagas with an asterisk. How they continue can make a huge difference.

Agreed. And great point. I'd have put Raven's shadow way up the list after book 1. What a waste of a good start.

also, may seem kiddy or mainstream or whatever, but Harry Potter was pretty rock steady. Can't say I've enjoyed the conclusion of a series as much as Deathly Hallows. Just sayin.
