Best New Fantasy Books 2013

It's been a long wait for this fantasy series to finish especially when you consider I first began reading this series when I was 15 years old. Now that I'm 30 I'm just grateful there will be an ending to this epic saga.

Many fans were fearful at some points that the Wheel of Time book series would never finish, especially inlight of the time it was taking Jordan to complete each successive novel and then later when he died of cancer.

However, another fantastic author stepped in, called Brandon Sanderson, and finished the series according to the notes left behind by Robert Jordan before his death.

If you have never read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan then you are really missing out. It's a long fantasy series, but eash book passed quickly. You'll be attached to the chaarcters before you can believe it. It doesn't matter if you are male or female, there are characters in this series for everyone.

Some of my favorite characters include Egwene, Rand, Mat, Perrin, some of the Aes Sadai and the Aiel.

Since it's been so long since I read the first book in the Wheel of Time series, I think I will have to read the whole series again!

Expected Release Date: March 19th, 2013.

Cassandra Clare's first popular series was the Mortal Instruments trilogy, which is being turned into a movie as we speak and is due to be released in August 2013. It is one of my most anticipated book to movie adaptations of 2013.

Author Cassandra Clare didn't rest on her laurels and began writing another series, set in the same world but in a different time period of history - the Victorian era. The location of the story has also relocated from New York to England.

In the Infernal Devices Trilogy, expect to meet supernatural creates such as demons, shapeshifters, vampires and warlocks. When these supernatural beings mis-behave and break the rules, Shadowhunters come in to clear up the mess and end the life of the miscreatant. They have the power to do this as they are part angel.

Although Infernal Devices is set before the Mortal Instruments trilogy there is a character fans will recognize in Magnus Bane, avery old warlock. New characters are introduced and Cassandra Clare continues with her love triangles and strained realtionship, causing heat-ache and turmoil for our lead characters.

If you haven't read the other two books in the series, then you're missing out on an amazing world and characters.

Expected Release Date: June 5th, 2013

About a year ago, there was nothing for me to read and I was desperate to read a new fanatsy novel. I went to the bookstore and had a look at some of the books that I'd not read yet and none of them appealed to me, until I picked by Douglas Hulick's Among Thieves. The only negative I could find was it was the only book of his I could find on the shelf. I wasn't sure if I should read it, because if it was as good as I hoped it would be I'd be desperate to read the next installment.

I raced through this book faster than most and read it within two days. The plot and characters are compelling and intriguing. I also liked that it's not your typical fantasy novel where you could guess the outcome from the start.
