Hey there! I'm looking for fantasy novels that are pretty heavy on the action and that take place in a bog standard fantasy setting (elves, dwarves, wizards 'n' stuff). I will say that I'm not looking for anything by R.A. Salvatore. I'm currently reading one of his books, and I find that a little bit goes a long way.
Some stuff I've already read:
- The Lord of the Rings
- Dragonlance
- The first two Cradle books
- The Greatcoats
- The Iron Tower
- The Last Apprentice/The Wardstone Chronicles and sequels
- The Riyria Revelations
- The first Mistborn trilogy
- First two books of The Stormlight Archives
- The Throne of the Crescent Moon
- The first couple Dresden Files books
- Gardens of the Moon
- The Chronicles of Prydain
- A Song of Ice and Fire
- The Kingkiller Chronicle
- All of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories
- The first Ranger's Apprentice book
- The Dragonbone Chair (DNF)
- The Sword of Shannara (DNF)

If you haven’t yet, you should try The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. The Blade Itself is the first book.
