You can't go past The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. One of the best books ever.

TILL WE HAVE FACES, by C.S. Lewis.

The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne

Pretty much anything by Rick Roirdan! My favorite will always be The Percyu Jackson Series, but my boys are loving The Lost Heroes of Olympus!

In the Night Garden and its sequal.

Mortal Coils I'm eager for him to finish this trilogy/series. Not sure how long the complete story is gonna last since his pace is slow, steady, and thorough. There are a ton of footnotes in it that blur the line between fiction and nonfiction. He's blending urban San Francisco legends with Greek mythology in his own way. It's really interesting.

I just loved C.L. Wilson's Tairen Soul series which begins with Lord of the Fading Lands

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series: Starting with Fantasy Lover. She incorporates Greek, Sumerian, Egyptian and other mythologies in one. Also a combination of demons and vampires.

S.M. please can you confirm the author? Thanks.

Uploaded to here, Mortal Coils to be confirmed.

Weland : Smith of the Gods by Ursula Synge, published in 1972 by Bodley Head is a very fine retelling of the tale of Volund the smith and the swan maidens of Valhalla from the Elder Edda. It was published as a children's book, but can be enjoyed by readers of any age, and it is true to the grim, dark world of Norse myth and legend.

The Last Prince of Ireland
It's not new, but I absorbed this series when it was.
