Hi all,
It’s been a while since I last read a novel. Trying to find a good series to start (preferably one that is completed).
Some of my most liked series are : The king killer chronicles, The iron druid chronicles, the light bringer series, The song of ice and fire, The Broken empire
Thanks in advance.

I always recommend ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien to anyone looking to be immersed in an epic fantasy adventure. Tolkien’s Middle-earth is a masterclass in world-building, complete with its own languages, races, and a battle between the forces of good and evil that has become the blueprint for modern fantasy.
I love The Lone City Series and the Selection Series
The Necromancer’s House by Christopher Buehlman
* Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone. Urban fantasy, first in a series. There’s a lot of books out so far but I don’t know if it’s done.
* The Fortress series by C. J. Cherryh. Completed fantasy series. This is a lower tech fantasy world that focuses a lot more on everyday life and the relationships between the characters, and the author has a slow paced writing style that isn’t for everyone.
* The author Tad Williams has written a lot of fantasy, both urban fantasy and epic fantasy. I haven’t read most of it, so I’m not sure which one(s) you would like best. There’s the high fantasy Shadowmarch series, the Memory Sorrow and Thorn series, and the urban fantasy Bobby Dollar series.
-Codex Alera by Jim Butcher: Set in a world where people get control over Elements by binding magical spirits to them. Has a strong roman empire theme
