It can be hard to know where to find books you love, especially when you want them to be ebook compatible. Most websites we've seen seem to focus on cheap books, and while cheap certainly isn't bad, the presumption is that people will drop $$$ on any old book just because it costs only a few dollars. It seems likely that people are a little more discerning than that. When people go looking for new books, they've already got an idea of what they want in mind. How it feels and what it does. And if you're anything like us, you like tales that stretch the imagination, delve into worlds unknown, and excite our senses of what's possible in the universe. Hopefully that's why you've found us here at GreatFantasyEbooks.blogspot.com.

We'll also be bouncing back and forth between traditionally published and indie books. These are books that we're giving our seal of approval to because we're highly familiar with them, not just books we happened to dredge out of the chamber pot. So what do you say we kick things off with our first book?

The episode was an impressive display of how gritty fantasy can be, doubtlessly compelling people by the boatload to finally pick it up as soon as the show ended.
If you haven't read this before, you've got more of a reason than ever and probably more company than ever. This is the book that everyone's going to be reading for the next couple months.
by Suzanne Collins is a fast-paced, dystopian story that will constantly keep you guessing. Though there are countless comparisons to books like Ender's Game, this story takes on a life of its own as we learn about a grim, destitute world through the eyes of a cutthroat yet fascinating teen girl named Katniss Everdeen.
