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! Plus there are short essays written by a scientist from one of the worlds who writes about the different planets.

So happy to see more love for the Liveship books. The Farseer novels are great, but the Liveship arc ties it alllll together. Will be adding the City of Stairs books, they sound really interesting--I love gods-based stories. The way gods interact with the mortal world is one of the main reasons the Malazan Book of the Fallen is my all-time favorite series of any genre. I'd love to know how you felt about the ending of the Green Bone saga. I think they absolutely nailed it. (this is the first video of yours I've watched, so if you've addressed it in a different video forgive me I haven't found it yet!)

Thanks for sharing some great books to check out! I’m a huge Sanderson fan and love Mistborn and Stormlight! I’ve also read the broken earth and name of the wind series. One lesser known series that I bet you’d really enjoy would be the Licanius Trilogy. The author wrote it after reading mistborn. It feels very similar to a Sanderson book, and I would rate it on similar levels to Mistborn! Good character development and interesting magic system!

@PeruseProject 3 жыл бұрын

@rebecca3762 3 жыл бұрын
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 haven't read several of those (now I have to buy more books) but the one glaring omission is Guy Gavriel Kay. Hes the only other author I've read whose character work is on par with Hobb. 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.

I love some of the picks here, definitely going to check out The Lies of Locke Lamora. I got two really neat recommendations for anyone looking for more: Kings of the Wyld and the Shadow of What was Lost, the former is one of the funniest/interesting, fun-to-read, character driven stories I've read in terms of fantasy and the latter isn't reinventing the wheel (combines a lot of different fantasy elements/tropes), but the mysteries keep you craving for more and it all comes together seamlessly.
