Books along the lines of Song of Fire and Ice and Wheel of Time Series

Also looking for urban paranormal type stuff similar to The Hollow by Kim Harrison, The Succubus/Georgina Kincaid series, The Mercy Thompson Series, The Stray series by Rachel Vincent, The Hoodoo Series by Adrian Phoenix, you get the drift.

thank you~!

Check this author out: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/mark-chadbourn/

Also check this author: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/a/mark-anthony/ I have read his series, Last Rune, which runs to 6 titles. I find it would compare with the Game of Thrones series by George R R Martin.

Fantastic Fiction, BTW, is a truly awesome site to use when trying to find something to read. Most of the time, if you look on the page where it lists book availability, you can click through to Amazon and actually read a few pages of the book [not every book, but many of them].

Hmmm as I see it you want a rather long epic fantasy series...

Here are some suggestions :

* Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
http://www.goodreads.com/series/49674-malazan
Must read. Probably my favorite. It has a sequel/side story series by a different author, which isn't quite as good and a couple of short stories. Great world building, and unforgettable characters. It is hard to get into, especially in the first book which is the weakest in the series, Erikson doesn't take the reader's hand, but throws you right in the thick of things without any explanation... You have to make the effort to figure what's going on, but it's well worth it.

* The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
http://www.goodreads.com/series/49075-the-stormlight-archive
The next big thing in fantasy IMHO. By the author who finished the Wheel of Time.

* Sword of Shadows by J.V. Jones
http://www.goodreads.com/series/40615-sword-of-shadows

* Crown of Stars by Kate Elliott
http://www.goodreads.com/series/43697-crown-of-stars

* The Runelords by David Farland
http://www.goodreads.com/series/41322-the-runelords

* The Second Apocalypse by R. Scott Bakker
https://www.goodreads.com/series/83561-the-second-apocalypse

I think these are the best fit for what you want, in world building, length, and themes.


The following are other suggestions that you might like as well but I think not as similar :

* The Traveler's Gate Trilogy by Will Wight
https://www.goodreads.com/series/108461-the-traveler-s-gate-trilogy
In a way very similar to WoT but with many fantasy cliches subverted. The protagonist is only a companion of the prophetised savior that will save the world against the big bad. He has nothing going for him, no hidden magic powers, no charisma, not even confidence in his righteousness. Not on the level of big names in fantasy but still very refreshing.

* Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams
http://www.goodreads.com/series/49188-memory-sorrow-and-thorn

* The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss
https://www.goodreads.com/series/45262-the-kingkiller-chronicle

* Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb

* The Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman

* Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin
https://www.goodreads.com/series/40909-earthsea-cycle
