A. Chakraborty, Oh! The world bulding is strong with this one! Plus... gray characters everywhere! Like seriously... I still can't choose a side and I actually found myself rooting for a character I wasn't supposed to. And Forest of a Thosand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao, a reimagining of the evil queen in an east asian fantasy setting... like... need I say more? Hope you get to any of these, I will looking forward to your opinion 😊

Elsa Ruuskanen I’d say WOT is more complex personally though I am a fan both. The number of characters you follow and the history you explore is truly vast. But there are 15 books in a WOT . WOT is definitely more high fantasy though, and the authors borrowed from each other since they were very good friends for instance WOT has “The Game of Houses” which is pretty similar to the political “Game of Thrones” (WOT did come first). Robert Jordon wrote a short blurb on the front cover of A ‘Game of Thrones’ and GRRM credits this with kickstarting his books popularity. But they were great friends as I said, much like how Tolkien and C.S Lewis were.
@mrblump6 жыл бұрын
:tugs braid:, Going to have to strongly disagree on this one. Books 6-11 were slow and sometimes downright painful to read. The female characters are one dimensional and all 1000 of them are written practically the same way. The first book was written as a one of, which causes Jordan to have to retcon Rand's power and re introduce it to the reader. All that being said Sanderson wrapped the series up pretty well and even though it was painfully predictable it still had a lot of fun moments.
@LouisKing9956 жыл бұрын
mrblump I don’t think they’re one dimensional at all, some of them are perhaps annoying but they aren’t all written the same way. Nynaeve goes from being my least favourite of the women to be my favourite by the end of the series and Cadsuane grew on me immensely. They are however very prominent in the story and exist in society with almost equal status to the male characters, which is somewhat unusual for high fantasy. It’s not all golden but the size and scale of the world he creates is remarkable, and although the final actual showdown with the Dark-one is somewhat predictable, I wouldn’t say the journey to get there is, nor the actual ending of the series. Also what about Rand’s power was retconned after Book 1?
@mrblump6 жыл бұрын
Trajan compare the female characters to those in series like Stormlight archives or Kingkiller chronicles. I am fairly certain Jordan had only interacted with a single women(his wife) for the last 50 years of his life and based every single female character off of her or a fantasy of her. The characters say the same lines over and over and over again and they become stereotypes of themselves until Sanderson takes over the series. The publisher had not approved WOT to be a series so Jordan wrote it to be a one off if need be. Hence Rand handily dispatching the Forsaken at the end of book one with god like powers not to see powers on that scale again for MANY more books. Don't get me wrong, WOT is not a bad series but Jordan fell short in many area's and because of that it does not hold up against many other series out there.

I think a series you would like since you enjoy unique magic systems and middle grade fantasy adventures is the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. This series follows Nita and Kit as they discover that magic is real and that it is the job of wizards to make sure The Lone Power doesn't hurry entropy along. What makes the magic unique is the fact that is magic really fantasy magic per se but a scientific magic. Nita and Kit have to use formulas and calculations and the language of magic to use magic. This series takes to the bottom of the oceans and the farthest reaches of space, back in time and into ones soul. So good.

The bond between the two main female characters is the single most important relationship in the series and I am here for it. 10/10 would recommend

@Alec Pitcher Well, I'd say no. I'm an 18 years old male who primarily reads adult fantasy, but who occasionally dips into YA. Short (-ish) answer: I'd say that the first two books are really good, but from there it goes downhill and turns into an poorly written and edited cringefest (a bit harsh maybe but no one I've talked to about it have denied the truth of my thoughts - although not always agreed) Longer answer (spoiler-free): It was first after the forth book that I became really annoyed by Maas' writing and during the fifth, it further compounded. The whole fifth book especially felt cringy and porly written as well as edited. Examples of poor writing/editing: her describing characters feelings when telling through other character's perspective, things that makes no sense gets no explaination - people can locate each other across worlds with no other explaination than the fact that the other characters are also being a bit perplexed (or once that the character had a gut-feeling it was the right way), and worst of all, characters' thoughts are lying - for example, someone is thinking that everything goes to shit and later says that it was all planned from the beginning, contradicting her own previous thoughts. The latter problem is to give the story tension while trying to make the character feel badass - not worth it though... Edit: and as for romance, it gets a lot worse, A LOT. Fifth book is almost porn

Okay, you pretty much named all of my favourite books except: The Demon Cycle by Peter V Brett, The Gentleman Bastards by Scott Lynch and Danielle Jensen's series (name escaping me) that starts with A Stolen Songbird.

Lauren Maillet it's called the malediction trilogy and it's sooooo underrated

Yay!!! It makes me so happy to see the Gentleman Bastards mentioned. They're my favorite books ever. Locke Lamora is one of my favorite characters ever, right next to Phedre from the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey. I don't understand WHY more people don't talk about Gentleman Bastards

I think at the moment my favourite is Everlife-trilogy. It’s quite new and I just love it. The main character is so refreshing and her obsession for numbers is so interesting. Also the story telling is great and you read through it really quickly. The twist and turns are less but still it is a really good book. Also the fantasy in this book just made me wanna live in it. I really recommend it if you like a good fantasy book mixed with romance.

I just finished One Dark Throne and I am OBSESSED. I need the next one like air. Have you ever read The Abhorsen Chronicles? Beautiful world-building in a dark fantasy novel full of political intrigue and turns that aren't cliche.

I would really recommend His Fair Assassins trilogy by Robin LaFevers starting with Grave Mercy. It’s one of my favorite series and I think you would absolutely love! It’s has history, politics, cool magical elements, action, badass lead female characters, dark and twisty and just overall beautiful stories that weave together :)

I have been chomping at the bit to read that Lightbringer series. I may pick it up book 1 this weekend. But the sisters on the island sounds thrilling. Have you read the Moontide Quartet? I borrowed book 1 "Mage's Blood" from my library. Hoping it's good.

Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy is a must read. It's a bit more old-school, but Fitz is seriously a fantastic protagonist. And there's lost of political intrigue!

Oh yes. The Realm of the Elderlings is absolutely my favourite fantasy series, and as the final book is now out I was able to read it competely, no waiting for anything to be released. Fell in love with so many characters in this series.

Krista Culbertson Liveship Trilogy! It’s one of my favourite.
@elcidbob5 жыл бұрын
It's sci-fi, but has a very similar feel to the Farseer series: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkosigan_Saga Plus the Cordelia Naismith books that tell the mother's story.
