SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

Hello, I need help with find books like Anthony Riches series and jim b. codex aleria books. I like the kind of stories when the story is mainly told around 1 main character and he fights in and commands armys it makes me feel awe lol. I've read quite a few books and there doesn't seem to be any around. Any help woiod be appreciated.

For Fantasy, I have enjoyed everything by Rick Roirdan. Don't let the "midgrade" label throw you off! They don't really command armies, but they do fight monsters, which is pretty darn cool.

Midgrade and YA sci-fi and fantasy tend to focus more on that one main character perspective than a lot of the books designed for adults.

Ian Miller's Red Gold is a nice sci-fi told around one main character (mostly) and there is a lot of action. (He kind of controls armies...)

If you don't mind reading from the female perspective, Angels & Warriors by Dawn Tevy is a great read.

Yeah, can't think of any other suggestions... Hope these help!

Maybe John Marco's books?

There are definitely multiple characters, but from what I remember it seems like the POV stays pretty close to one main character in Michael Stackpole's The Dark Glory War & DragonCrown War books.

The Roman-empire element of the Codex Alera reminds me a bit of Gene Wolfe's Soldier of Arete books, but those have a kind of fractured storytelling structure that I sometimes find frustrating. For books that follow a single hero's POV, I think of Brent Weeks & Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy, but both deal more with assassin types than military commanders.

Also, for a stand-alone with a heroine who becomes captain of a mercenary company: By the Sword by Mercedes Lackey

Some suggestions would be David Eddings the Belgariad series; Terry Goodkind The Sword of Truth series; Robert Jordan The Wheel of Time series and George R.R. Martin's The Game of Thrones series. R.A. Salvatore also has the dark elf character, Drizzt Do'Urden in a couple of series of books. All of them would keep you reading for a long time.

thanks for the suggestions. I have read my of these books still need to update my books lol.

Have you read anything by Stephen R Lawhead? His Pendragon Cycle is very good. Or Margaret Weis Death Gate Cycle... Or Star of the Guardians is very good as well. Um... Katherine Kerrs Deverry series might be up your alley... You might also like Lord of Snow and Shadows by Sarah Ash.

I don't believe I have ill look them u p thanks.
