Just get phoenix wright 1, 2, 3, and Apollo Justice. They're basically novels for games, interactive novels due to the fact that you have to read carefully and understand what is going on to progress in the games. Also, great storylines, ect.

I hate you so much.

But yes, it's a good game and essentially a novel. Ace Attorney: Investigations is good too, though I missed the court-room aspect of the games. :<

If you enjoyed Sword of Truth, and are looking for a similar, in-depth series, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is excellent. Also, George R.R. Martin's saga, A Song of Ice And Fire is incredible.

Lol Terry Goodkind.




A Game of Thrones from the "A song of ice and fire" serier written by George RR Marting. 4 books out now, dance of dragons is coming out next.


A Game of Thrones tells an epic tale of honor and treachery, love and vengeful hatred, intrigue and heroism set in a world where summers and winters can last for years, even lifetimes. The story fashions itself around the Starks of Winterfell, a family whose legacy is one of stiff-necked honor. "Winter is coming," says the House of Stark motto, and that is nowhere more true than in the cold northern reaches of the Seven Kingdoms, where trees have faces and direwolves bond with children themselves bound to fate. Winterfell lies just south of the Wall that separates the Seven Kingdoms from ancient forested wastes; beyond that Wall, supernatural powers as old as the land itself are massing, posing a greater threat than anyone can conceive of.

"A song of ice and fire" isn't complete, and will take forever to be done. I'd wait till it is. I've been waiting for next after "Feast for Crows" for years.

Terry Brooks: 99% magic, dragons and sorcery. No plot or anything just fighting demons and evil people all the time.

RA Salvatore: Dark Elf killing everything in his path. This is another World of Warcraft like writer.

Chine Mieville: Can actually be pretty decent sometimes. I'm just not fond of him throwing in horror, fantasy, drama and whatever else he can find together.

The First Law Trilogy from Joe Abercrombie.

If you expect happy endings and distinct good and wrong this is not the serie for you. It's gritty dark fantasy at its best and is written by a person who has studied psychology, which you can see in his books.

If you're into sci-fi, then I suggest Ender's Game saga by Orson Scott Card. It is a fantastic story takes place in the future after an alien invasion almost destroys humanity and we must rely on the unlimited possibilities of children thinking to become our future generals and war fighters for the next possible invasion.



Then it continues into a trilogy after that which is "Speaker for the Dead", "Xenocide", and "Children of the Mind".

And if you end up liking the Ender's Game saga, there is a child who is kind of like Ender's apprentice name Bean and there is a Bean saga. That's four books long as well. And Orson Scott Card has released a few books since the release of those eight books that further enrich Ender's world.

It's a beautiful sci-fi series. *-*;;

Oh yeah on that line not really a series but will take awhile to read are Orson Scott cards short stories. Personally I like them alot better then his actually books. I guess you could call Maps in a mirror sorta a series of collections of them. Though he did end up putting them all into 1 which was nice

Well I havent Dresden Files or Sword of Truth so I'm not sure if these would appeal to you, but Dune is a sci-fi classic (the first 3 novels are great, the last 3 got kinda weird for me but eh).
And I rather liked Karin Traviss's Republic Commando novels, good war sci-fi.
For more fantasy related, Brent Week's Night Angel trilogy I enjoyed a lot.

Do yourself a favour and read this. Even if you dont read any other Stephen King, read this. His greatest talent shines through in these novels, and that is making great characters with incredible depth.

Eddie alone has more depth than the entire cast of Twilight.
