Hmm, I’m really not sure. One of my all-time favorite fantasy novels is A Wrinkle In Time, which has sort of Christian elements, but not is explicitly  Christian. (I’m not even sure of the author meant for them to be Christian elements, to be honest. XD)

I also really enjoy The Hobbit, mostly for the humor and the grans sense of adventure all rolled into one. Eragon is another of my favorites, but lower ranking because I find the prose less interesting. Tolkien has such a pleasant voice to read and you really can’t beat it. 😉

Other than that, I really haven’t read a whole lot of explicitly Christian fantasy. I’m looking forward to reading more Sanderson, specifically the Mistborn Saga and Elantris. I’m also really excited to read Jill Williamson’s Kinsman Chronicles.  I unfortunately have so little time to read much of anything at the moment that I haven’t even bought new fantasy books since Fawkes came out. 😐 But hopefully once graduation is over and I’m a little more free with my brain time I can sit down and pick up a few new books.

(Oh – and if anyone doesn’t mind more spell-type magic systems, the book Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my absolute favorite non-Christian novels of all time. It’s wacky, weird, and one of the few books that’s ever made me both laugh and cry. Do be warned, it has more of wizard/witch style magic system however, though I wouldn’t call it dark or explicit. It’s more of wacky adventure than anything with moments of good humor and warmth.)
