Here are some older fantasy and sci-fi books that I enjoyed:

Tales of Nevèrÿon by Samuel R. Delany - African inspired S&S by an extremely talented writer.

Witch World as well as other good books by Andre Norton

Swords and Deviltry The first volume of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser by Fritz Leiber - Many of the tropes of the rogue/thief came from this legendary duo created by Leiber. And it's worth noting that Leiber actually coined the term Sword & Sorcery. This collection contains 3 stories, two average origin stories for each character and the final story is the Hugo and Nebula winning novella "Ill Met in Lankhmar" detailing the first meeting of Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser.

Swords Against Darkness - A '70s S&S anthology. It has few stinkers, a few mediocre stories, and a some really good ones. Poul Anderson and Ramsey Campbell both have awesome stories in this anthology that are well worth checking out. For some reason, there were quite a few typos in this book, it was slightly distracting, but may have been fixed since I read it.

The Best of C. L. Moore by C. L. Moore. I read this earlier this year and I absolutely loved it. The collection is all sci-fi and one Jirel of Joiry story, which is her famous female Sword & Sorcery character. I was suprised by how well her sci-fi stories held up, often times pulp sci-fi doesn't age well, but this collection was great. Moore was married to the writer Henry Kuttner, and up until his death they wrote a bunch of great stories together. Both of their collections are basically collaborations, although I'm sure a few stories were done solo. His collection The Best of Henry Kuttner features the short story that the movie The Last Mimzy was based on. And, if you are into the original Twilight Zone TV series there is a story that was adapted into a memorable season 1 episode entitled "What You Need". Kuttner and Moore are two of my favorite pulp authors and I'm not even that into science fiction, but I really enjoy their work.

Surely, I need no introduction. You've all heard of Andrew Rowe by now; my War of Broken Mirrors and Arcane Ascension series are hella dope. Dammit.

Please call me Darrell Drake, author of A Star-Reckoner's Lot (recently described as "a hard-edged version of One Thousand and One Nights"). Just the name.

Trying to make myself sound interesting is like Steve Buscemi attempting to say hello to fellow high schoolers. I'm fueled by birds, stargazing, Sassanian/Sasanian/Sassanid (pick one, geez!) history, and games. This is my la griglia (only follow if you like non-political trash [and history]). (Parenthetical [Parenthetical])

Maybe.

Hey, you're in luck - I'm currently reading A Star Reckoner's Lot by Darrell Drake and it would fall into this category, and it's currently on sale! Plus it's based in Iranian myth which is super interesting and a refreshing change from the pseudo-medieval Europe setting.

I'm only about 20% in but I'm loving it so far. :)

Might be worth checking out A Star Reckoner's Lot by Darrell Drake. I just started reading it and while the main character can't 100% take care of herself (she has some physical issues that make her become incredibly tired, really fast), but she's an incredibly strong person who tries to give everyone a fair chance. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Reckoners-Lot-Darrell-Drake-ebook/dp/B01I5WBOUO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1492274509&sr=1-1&keywords=a+star+reckoners+lot

It's still literally just a fucking ad.

Which is good and cool, because it's a cheap copy of a book this sub seems to adore and I really can't wait to read it. Thanks for posting literally just a fucking ad, man!
I was going to buy your book but Amazon told me I already had, so, uh. I'm used to that from Steam, not from Amazon.

I just finished reading Darrell Drake's excellent A Star-Reckoner's Lot, a tragic historical fantasy of secrets, betrayal, love, loss, exclusion, and retribution.
