Then another one of these or whatever your heart desires! Both are introductions to 2 of the best new authors in the genre! Nothing too crazy with plots, prose, or intellectual writing. I am going to package these both together. One issue is that each book(4book series) feels completely different than the last. Unfortunately the rest don’t quit live up, but they are still as good. The first book, Heroes Die, is probably the best single book I’ve read. And another trilogy “Aspect-Emperor” follows this one.

It is part of the series “The Second Apocalypse”. Only 2 books have been finished, but it’s worth the read.Īnother dark, deep, philosophical reads similar to Malazan. One of the best and most popular new up and coming writers.
They catch a lot of flak because they don’t live up to the standard set by the previous 5. Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan & Brandon SandersonĬlassic must read fantasy.Though since you are new to reading fantasy I am going to recommend some of what I believe are the top fantasy series. So which of these three series best match my current preferences? Or is there perhaps another series that fits better?Īs a side note, in regards to The Long Price Quartet, I hear the books are standalone, but is there a significant connection between the books? Are they disconnected stories that so happen to take place in the same universe, or is the series a cohesive story?Ĭlick to expand.I would probably second Jaqueline Carey, as I've always heard she is a good mix of fantasy and romance. I want the series to have 3-5 books in the series (that's just what I'm willing to read at the moment). I also like multiple POVs, so that's a factor too. It'd be a huge factor if a series had romance in it. I love it so much, I get ridiculously invested in it sometimes. And oh s**t, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I very much like romance. I really like political intrigue, like what is present in ASOIAF and TFL. I just recently played Undertale, and I'm kind of hoping a series I read can impact me as powerfully as that game. I want an emotional story that just may make me cry, not necessarily because it's sad, but because the conflicts experienced by the characters are significant and relatable. What I'm looking for is a series with very well developed characters, ones that I can really get attached to.
The three series listed in the title are what have caught my eye, but for the life of me I cannot determine what series would be the most suited to what I'm looking for. I've read A Song of Ice and Fire and The First Law, and that's it sadly (I only became an avid reader recently).
I know these books have received more than enough attention here, but I'm really trying to avoid spoilers and I don't think I can get the answer I'm looking for without making this thread of my own.Īs much I love fantasy, I am fairly new to the genre. I'm new to this forum, though I have I have perused quite a few threads in the past.
