Your favourite fantasy world?

[Diamond]

Some of my favorites, in no particular order:

1. Thieves' World
2. Jack Vance's Dying Earth and Lyonesse
3. Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun
4. Earwa (Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series)
5. Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn

Earwa especially is just so freakin' realistic, and extra geeks points to Bakker for including a 100+ page glossary/encyclopedia in the third book, The Thousandfold Thought.

4. Earwa (Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series)

Earwa especially is just so freakin' realistic, and extra geeks points to Bakker for including a 100+ page glossary/encyclopedia in the third book, The Thousandfold Thought.

Well, it seems even in fictional worlds of others we have the same taste And i looooved that glossary.

You should really try Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. A very good novel with very deep and compelling worldbuilding!

So here is my list (in no particular order) :

World of the Malazan Book of the Fallen (by S. Erikson)
Earwa (Prince of Nothing by R. Scott Bakker)

and, naturally, the still unconquered King of Worldbuilding and Myth

Middle-Earth (by J.R.R. Tolkien)
