The Night Circus remains visually vibrant in my mind after reading it over 4 years ago. Will definitely recommend, especially for people who enjoy graphic novels. The author is a graphic novelist and so she wrote her book in that kind of same vein.

Hi! I am late to this but was so surprised Neil Gaiman did not make this list, especially Neverwhere and Stardust. Or Terry Pratchett and his Discworld novels for adults. Highly recommend. Especially any that contain Granny Weatherwax, like Wyrd Sisters or Lord and Ladies. Love their collaboration, Good Omens, good TV series but great book. If you like humorous fantasy set in the real world, some books by Tom Holt are fun.

Could you tell me what, in your opinion, are the most important themes and things you find interesting in the farseer series? I'd like to read Robin Hobb but I read the first book and was really disappointed :( Well, not disappointed because I didn't really expect anything from it, all I knew was that my sister liked it and it was fantasy (genre i enjoy... in theory), it was just... Blah. So blah. I rated it 2 stars. It has been a while since I read it so I can't remember what exactly bothered me about it. Only thing I remember liking was the broodiness of the "mentor" type of guy at the stables. The writing wasn't the strongest. But wasn't assassin's apprentice her first book? Will the series get better and better? Should I try her other series if I found this one boring? Is her worldbuilding interesting?
@Gobblimarie
@Gobblimarie 4 жыл бұрын
​@@xx011 Yes, the worldbuilding is fantastic. But I think the characters are the best. Fitz is of course very young in the first book and sometimes he makes choices that you really can't understand, but that is what makes him so real. I don't know what you would think of her other series. The Liveship trilogy is the only other series I have read besides the farseer, The Tawny Man and Fitz and the Fool (which are all about Fitz) but I love that as well. (And they connect to each other in the later books, in ways that you might not realize when reading the Liveship triology before the later Fitz books). I just feel the characters and worlds are so rich and realistic (in lack of a better word). Everyone has their good and bad sides and they are anything but predictable.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. It’s true magicians don’t practice magic but write it down, but Strange and Norrell bring back actual magic, which kickstarts more people doing magic!! The Raven King was extremely powerful a few centuries before and there’s a lot of power still in England that centres around the Raven king. It’s a brilliant book. It’s long. There’s an unbelievable amount of details in it (with a lot of keynotes) it’s very clever though.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell: Mr. Norrell is the last practicing magician in England. He's very full of himself, however doesn't have the charisma to pull it off. He takes on an apprentice, Jonathan Strange, whom he becomes very threatened by. He's talented, humble about his abilities, and charismatic. What ensues is a power play between the two until they are forced to work together towards the end to defeat a malintended Fae. It a beast of a book and much of the first half is focused on Mr. Norrell who is not meant to be a well-liked character, but stick with it. On audible it's 34(?) hours long if that gives you an idea of the length.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is fantastic and the footnotes are strangely (no pun intended) the best part. Susanna Clarke created an amazing history of magic which is told anecdotally mostly through those footnotes and they are unique as a world building tool in my reading experience. If you like it as much as I did there is a collection of short stories in the same universe (featuring more female leads) and a BBC television adaptation I also adored. Her second novel, Piranesi, just released and 15 years in the making, is sadly not a sequel and is much shorter. The author has battled a disease that makes her constantly fatigued. I am about to read it myself and it seems to be the perfect book about someone who's life is spent in solitude, released while Covid Quarantines are fresh in our memories and written by someone with a unique understanding of the topic. Enjoy!

@@beebee3021 the first that comes to mind for me is the Throne of Glass series. I guess you could technically say that it morphed from YA to New Adult (or YA with smut? Not sure of the terminology) halfway through the series, since the first 4 books are pretty tame. Also, the ACOTAR series. Idk maybe my issue is more that I like Sarah J. Maass' stories, but don't like the smut she includes lol

@@jethro4453 Hmm, I think her books are very mismarketed (well, they've finally rebranded ACOTAR at least. Hate the new covers, but at least they're not pretending that this is YA anymore lol) and also that she never really wanted to write YA. I believe she actually said she'll only write adult from now on.

I started reading Brandon Sanderson by Warbringer and Mistborn and it was fine but i wasn't impressed. But Stormlight Archives.. Wow. One of my most favorite series of all times. So I recommend all my friends to start with this one :)

I am currently finishing the Assasins Apprentice and trying to decide if I continue on with the series. Buuut, I cannot take more animals dying, I cried for like an hour last night because of this book and a fictional dead dog. So if you've read it please tell me do any more animals die in the rest of the series? Should I keep reading it??

I'm a little late but have you ever read anything by Robert A Heinlein? Stranger in a Strange Land is a must. It was published in 1961 but was truly ahead of its time. And, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long is a keeper. Glad finally found you!

This is pretty much a list of all the most hyped up fantasy books haha but it's also a good reminder to pick up some of these titles too. Omg! I love Name of the Wind too but I'm definitely a little scared to re-read it because of the same reason haha so I've kind of been avoiding a re-read of it for a few years now! Hope it still holds up when I eventually do, maybe when we actually have a solid release date for the third book lol! ^_^

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel; basically there is only one real magician remaining: Mr Norrel. the others indeed just study the theory of it. But a new magician is starting to get a reputation: Jonathan Strange. It is a lot about their clash: kind of the clash of learning through study vs learning through practice if I remember correctly. But there is also a menacing power, sort of like a fae king in there and the final 300 pages are perfection. It is extremely slow though and I would've given up on it if it weren't for my friend telling me it would deliver in the end
