Hi All - new to r/books, as I just got my first eReader for Christmas; excited to get back into reading! I'm looking for a new fantasy series/world to sink my teeth into, particularly involving magic. I enjoyed the Inheritance Cycle by Paolini because of the unique approach to magic, language, and dragon bonding. I'm currently finishing the Sword of Truth series by Goodkind, which I've overall enjoyed. However, those books can be a bit wordy (it's that the right word?) When it comes to building up to a climax. I've also enjoyed Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, though those are more teenage/young adult oriented. Thanks in advance!

A Wizard of Earthsea. I like The Witcher series, although it can be a tad controversial. There's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Why is The Witcher series controversial? Thanks for the help!

I mean, not controversial. It's that the translations aren't the best. And it's a love it or hate it deal.
