Ooh, that's difficult as it really depends if you like urban fantasy, epic fantasy, or scifi.
But I will say...
- Dragon Gate (epic fantasy / book one is Kingdoms at War)
- Legacy of Magic (urban fantasy / book one is Hammered)
- Forgotten Ages (prequel to her Emporer's Edge series which is listed as steampunk / book one is Encrypted)
But I think if her writing works for you, most all of her series will as well.
I could have easily listed Agents of the Crown (the first one I read in audio without reading the epub first) or multiple others.
Forgotten Ages works as a stand-alone series if you don't want to also read The Emporer's Edge series and Chains of Honor series (but if you do, read this series first then The Emperor's Edge).
And I should clarify the Legacy of Magic series is a spin-off of her Death Before Dragons series, so I would recommend reading that series first.
I should also add that like Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle, she tends to have certain character types she likes and mix-and-matches a lot in whichever subgenre she's writing. So you can see some similarities in her different series. And she tends to write a lot of found families. This doesn't bother me as she gives her characters each their own personalities and quirks, but there are definitely patterns. Then again, I think most authors do this. I do consider her a
comfort read author.
