I would say that the Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan is a series that’s fairly fast paced and action packed if anyone is interested.

@bubblebut005 9 ай бұрын

This series is all I’ve been thinking about lately! I’m about to start the last book which I want to fly through but at the same time I don’t want it to end, just like what Elle was saying at the start of this video 😆

That series is sooooo good! I still think Michael J Sullivan is underrated! I mean, for the level of fun his books are, I’d expect more hype.

I'm reading the Art of Prophecy now. I'm only 180 or so pages in but as someone who has watched a truly egregious amount of wuxia dramas it's been an absolute delight so far. Familiar yet different enough to not become generic and the handling of classic wuxia tropes is great.

The Dresden Files series is fast paced and actioned packed too. Loved it.

@thepoetesskhansaa 9 ай бұрын

An older trilogy that immediately comes to mind is the Powder Mage series by Brian McClellan. The action starts from the prologue and doesnt stop. It is very military-centric though, in case some people are not into that.

@binglamb2176 9 ай бұрын

I just picked up that trilogy and am really looking forward to reading it. Mixing fantasy and Napoleonic era style military intrigued me.

Kings of the Wylde by Nicholas Eames. Band of retired adventurers recruited back together to save the day one last time. Fast paced, funny, a couple tear jerking scenes to boot. Great read in this category.

Agree on best served cold. And since Wayne has stolen my heart forever I'm always happy to hear some good words about Wax and Wayne series! Right now I'm reading Heroes Road by Chuck Rogers it's a standalone adult! fantasy fast-paced novel and I think it's Unique. It's such a shame that the book has so few readers

Best Served was kinda like Kill BIll Abercrombie style. I will say also that I was really surprised how much I enjoyed Mistborn era 2. I held off on reading it for so long but I really loved that series.

Curious your thoughts on Xanth, book 1 at least. It was such a fast paced intense experience the entire way through. Absolutely loved that book! Piers is such a master at his craft. I never heard of Foundryside, and I will 100% be looking into it!

This is a great video Elliott! Sometimes we all need a fast paced action rife book to balance out slow burns. What did you mean when referring to Art of Prophecy as campy?

@PagesInTheForest 9 ай бұрын

Art of Prophecy is absolutely channeling the vibe of wuxia (historical/martial arts) genre tv/movies of China. It feels like...stronger comedy vibes (sometimes a bit slapstick?) and what can seem like "exaggerated" reactions compared to what is typical in "western style" tv/cinema, then layer that on action/fantasy/adventure. I reference comedic timing, but that doesn't mean the stakes aren't life-or-death high (in both the book and the genre) more just that the sense of comedic timing is a bit different where silly/outrageous things sometimes happen. I would recommend Art of Prophecy too! - just don't expect gritty realism.

@strawberrylime33 9 ай бұрын

@PagesInTheForest you mean like The Malevolent Seven? Campy, comedic like that?

@strawberrylime33 9 ай бұрын

Are the fight scenes/martial arts in Art of the Prophecy written like the fight scenes in Jade City? Also, I thought for SURE that I saw Art of the Prophecy sold as a duology at B&N!😮😱

@Artemis.97 9 ай бұрын

There's a second book out now, The Art of Destiny! I don't know if any more are planned, but I'm not surprised they're selling it as a duology.

I don't think they even necessarily appeal to a different kind of reader. I might want a different kind of book for reading in bed and on break at work.

I think I’m the only person that thinks The First Law trilogy is just meh. I disliked pretty much all the characters, the story never really gelled for me and the ending left me cold. Some of the dialogue was cringey and repetitive, too and that was probably the thing that held it back the most for me. I didn’t hate it but it’ll never make it to my top ten list. But despite that, I still want to read Best Served Cold. Go figure.

I think VE Schwab has a tendency to write her female characters with a “not like other girls” angle which really bugs me. I found Delilah so grating in book 2, the series has soured in my feelings since I last read it. Which is a shame because the concept is v cool
