Im on the hunt for my next new fantasy series (or stand alone is also fine).
I love Wheel of Time (absolute favorite series), The Licanius Trilogy, The Burning Series, Bloodsworn Saga.
I didn’t love LotR, Mistborn Series, Assasin’s Apprentice (I finished this book and did not continue the series).
I tried The Color of Magic and couldn’t get into it.
I really like books that are written in the first person point of view, so please no recs that are not (this is why I couldn’t get into Color of Magic). I also love a strong, female character. I don’t care for romance, if it happens in the book and is done well I’m ok with it but I don’t want it completely centered around that (romantasy).
Also, I have a long commute and a young child at home so (as much as I love physically reading) a majority of my consumption is now through audiobook so a recommendation with a good narrator is also very much appreciated!
I’ve also enjoyed the Murderbot series, Silo series and Red Rising series.

Dungeon Crawler Carl. The audiobooks are FANTASTIC! I almost passed these up because of the name, but I’m glad I took the plunge.
If you ever change your mind about third person pov, some really good fantasy books:
**The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri** – most of the characters are strong women
**Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan** – heard good things about the audiobook reader
**A Touch of Blood by Sajni Patel** – also has many strong women
If you are ok with Third Person Limited Perspective, I suggest The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. It has a strong female main character and minimal romance.
