Tigana is a stand alone that might be a good starting off point for you. The Lions of Al-Rassan, The Sarantine Mosaic, and The Last Light of the Sun are my favorites but you really can't go wrong with damn near anything hes written.

[@Larissaltz13]

Every time I see those Robin Hobb paperbacks I just ask myself WHY couldn't they do it floppier

[@PeruseProject]

a fair question that deserves a response if you ask me

[@rebecca3762]

for books to be floppy, they have to be printed 'long grain', i.e. the grain of the paper runs vertically down the book's page. 'short grain' books have horizontal grain and these are the ones that you tend to need to break the spine of, because the grain of the paper isn't in the same direction of the spine. typically, books printed conventionally (on a web press or similar) will be long grain and digitally printed books will be short grain. whether a book is printed convetionally or digitally can be determined by many factors such as paper type, print run and printer capacity. hope that helps!

I always love getting an update on your favourite fantasy books to make sure I'm not missing something I would love! If you want some more Brandon Sanderson you should read his middle grade series Alcatraz vs the Evil librarians. It's one of my favourit middle grade series, the humor isn't for everyone (so maybe try the first one and see if you like it) but the magic system, world buiding and characters are all so good! Arcanum Unbounded is also awsome, it's a short story collection with all of Brandons cosmere short stories, one of which got a hugo award!

@@jackie7668 you and so many other people. Patrick Rothfuss has really let a lot of eager readers down in these many years since Book 2 but he can't really help it if he can't do it. It's a tough situation! At this point I wish he'd give another writer any ideas he has and let them write an ending. Then if he ever gets motivated again be can write the version he wants, and we'll just have 2 possible endings. If you haven't, check out The Lightning Tree, it's a short story published in a really good anthology of stories edited by G.R.R. Martin. It's not a continuation of the plot but it's about Bast, and who doesn't need a good Bast fix! There's another short novella but I didn't care for it as much, still if you just really enjoy this world you'll probably like both.

The School for Good and Evil series is another good one

[@e_b_dionne]

If you want, I would recommend The Spellslinger series by Sebastien de Castell and the Renegade X series by Chelsea M. Campbell. They are both YA series where the main character learns something new about themselves, must leave home, and has to figure out who they are and what they want to do. Spellslinger follows a Jan'Tep initiate named Kellen whose magic is quickly fading. Those who don't have magic or whose magic has left them are relegated to servants, essentially slaves, within this community. Ferius Parfax, an Argosi wanderer, saves Kellen and begins to teach him the Argosi ways. They both have different wants out of this teaching. Kellen also develops a business partnership with Reichis the squirrel cat. The Jan'Tep and the squirrel cats have been at war for generations. Renegade X follows Damien who lives in a world of superheroes and supervillains. Generations ago hero scientists developed a serum that they dosed the population with so they could easily identify villains. The serum makes it so a V appears on one of their thumbs. Villains retaliated by making their own serum so an H would appear on heroes. These also affect anybody with hero/villain blood whether they're in the game or not. These letters appear on the persons 16th birthday. The mysterious third letter, letter X, will appear if a child has a hero and a villain for parents, but that doesn't happen because heroes and villains don't get together. Damien just got an X. Damien lives with his supervillain mother and wants to be like her when he graduates. When the X appears he goes out to find his father to prove that they are nothing alike, and to prove that he can be a real villain despite his superhero parent. This sets off a chain of events where Damien is forced to go live with his father and his father's family for six weeks. His father wants to prove that Damien is really a hero, and his mother just wants him out of her hair so she can spend more time with her new boyfriend. His mother also thinks that Damien may be "too good" to be a villain, and she doesn't want people to find out. He'll either come back a real villain or not come back at all. There is definitely more story to each of these stories. Family, friends, enemies, loves. These are characters who have to figure out who they are when their world and everybody in it is telling them who they're supposed to be. The Spellslinger series is complete. I believe Renegade X is as well, but it's always been a series that could be added to because of how the books normally wrap up. Edit: I agree with others. Nevermoor is also an amazing series. The third book just came out. You follow Morrigan Crow who was born on Eventide. All children born on Eventide are cursed; they are blamed for every bad thing that happens where they live, and are doomed to die when Eventide comes again. Morrigan is saved by Jupiter North who puts her up as his candidate for entrance in to the Wundrous Society. Only nine will be accepted, and Morrigan has to make it through the trials to not only enter the Society, but to stay in Nevermoor. If she fails she will be deported back to her home where the curse still waits to finish the job.

Robin Hobb is by far my favourite writer, I’ve never love characters more. Her books effortlessly sweep you into and along the story, so that you can’t help but want to read on. I’ve re read them all many times and Fitz’s story line is definitely my favourite but love all the books in the Realm of the Elderlings. I still vividly remember not sleeping one night because I physically could not put the book down for last 100 pages of Fool’s Quest in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy. I was walking around my room reading the book I was so tense 😂

[@stevenredpath9332]

Really enjoyed the stories around Fitz and the Fool but her other stories fell short for me. But I have high standards and those that meet them are well worth the pay off.

There's a a fantasy webnovel that I have really enjoyed that seems to have physical copies as well. It is called Supreme magus it's a story about a severely abused person going through his life and reincarnating into a mystical world where he remembers his past lives, and how he deals with his traumas as he tries to grow and learn about the new world I love the magic system and the Enchanted item-crafting it even has magic schools it feels like a longer darker more intense version of Harry Potter where the main character is kind of a as* that grows. Super recommended

my goal this year is to read everything on this list. I own at least the first one in each series so- I'm already partially there.

I can't believe how much I loved the poppy wars trilogy. I'm getting a tattoo based on it lol

KZbin has shown me this video as suggested and I’m so happy to have run into it! Thank you so much! I read fast and every time I finish another Saga there is a problem what to read next, and you’ve given me 2 authors I haven’t read! In my turn I want to mention the author that impressed me and made my top 10 fantasy writers - Guy Gavriel Kay. I loved his The Sarantine Mosaic Series and Under Heaven dilogy. Thanks again! Liked, subscribed, keep up the good work!

Ahhh can’t believe I’m here so early I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!😍😍😍

I love Brandon Sanderson's stormlight, but I couldn't get into mistborn. Maybe I'll try again...

[@KikeAbed]

Have you read dragon keepers also from Robin Hobb, I love every single one of her books and Fitz I reread the 9 books and cried again. Thank you for your recommendations I'll check them out

[@irem8513]

can you also make a video of top 10 non-fantasy books? i know fantasy is your thing, so I am really interested in what contemporaries/historical lit/fiction etc. you like.

[@purplehaze3200]

Joe Abercrombie, The First Law trilogy probably my favorite, with Sandersons Mistborn and storm light trilogies as second.

[@Gomesbeatrizx]

I literally paused this video to order the Lies of Locke Lamora. Regan’s recomendations never disappoint

[@finbar000]

Loved the lies of Locke Lamora. It’s a pity that Scott wasn’t able to do more in the series.

@@zeusdeuce7438 such a pity. Love the both of them. I’m sure they’ll come good

[@Laylorn2]

Loved your list! Have read half of them, and excited to check out the other series you are recommending. A couple favorites of mine include Kevin Hearne’s Seven Kennings (2 Books so far, and a third coming out sometime in 2023), and The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

[@DejiRodriguez]

I was so happy to see Robin Hobb's books in here! I don't find them in many booktube videos so I'm glad to find it here. Robin is my fave writer so far. And I totally agree with you, I love Fitz so much and I love reading about him but the Ships of Magic trilogy was FIRE 🔥 I devoured them... Something that it's difficult to do with Fitz as I have to give myself breaks to process the pain 😂 Great video! The first two series looked interesting, I'd like to give them a try later

[@takini4918]

I was binge watching all of your recommendation and favorite playlist and this new video came up😍
