NottTheBrave he/him Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 200+ pages into The Dragon Reborn now, and it's fantastic! Easily my favorite of the three so far. I'm really loving the variety in PoV this go around. I'm also loving the plot threads, and the characters continue to grow and become more and more interesting.

Dragon Reborn is probably my favorite in the whole series, definitely top 3 at least. for complicated reasons, its the book I read first, and that made gettign through books 1 and 2 much harder in comparison when i came back to them later.

I can understand that. There's just so much variety in Dragon Reborn. The series has opened up so much, with so many things going on, that it'd be weird to go back to an almost entirely rand centric storyline.
The Kraken's Daughter Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Just started into Beneath the Twisted Trees, which is the fourth volume in Bradley P. Beaulieu's Song of the Shattered Sands series. The plot was steadily picking up steam all through the last book, and the fast pace is still going.
Sirscott13 he/him Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Need recommends. I’ve read all of Sanderson, Divine cities + foundryside, Demon cycle, King killer, lightbringer + night angel and would like books more like this fantasy genre I did try the red rising, prince of thorns, gentleman bastards, raveler, apprentice, and poppy war books but none of them were really for me.

Well, there are already a fair few recommendation threads floating around this site, but this would be a good place to mention that I definitely recommend the book I read most recently: The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin (finally). I read her Inheritance Trilogy over the past few years and came to The Fifth Season with high expectations that were easily surpassed. I was a little surprised that The Fifth Season was less self-contained than the individual books in The Inheritance Trilogy. This made me sorely tempted to keep going straight into The Obelisk Gate, but I managed to change gears and am now reading Ben Aaronovitch's latest novella, The October Man. (Aaronovitch writes fun urban fantasy that I enjoy but doesn't sound like the exact genre you're looking for.)
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 A few days ago, I began Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora, and am planning on reading about a chapter a day (considering I'm also playing three different games at the same time. I'm really bad about finishing what I start before starting another.) 1
Sirscott13 he/him Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Finished The Rage of Dragons by Evan White. It was damnation good.
Truthless of Shinovar he/him Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Oh boy. Just finished Winter’s Heart.

Storming Radiant he/him Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I've been thinking about starting the witcher series before the tv show starts. Any opinions about it? Also, if someone can tell me the proper reading order (I understood that there are also some short stories and stuff) I'll be reall greatful... On 22.7.2019 at 8:16 PM, Truthless of Shinovar said: Oh boy. Just finished Winter’s Heart. That last chapter was probably my favorite one in the entire series. I felt some kind of epic rytham throughout it.
Zurvanight he/him Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. I really, REALLY love fantasy heist novels and if anyone has any recommendations for more like Locke Lamora or Mistborn please tell me. On 7/22/2019 at 1:16 PM, Truthless of Shinovar said: Oh boy. Just finished Winter’s Heart. I felt like this one had way too much padding. I mean it was still good, but too much of it was just Perrin not doing much of anything until the end. Crossroads of Twilight and Knife of Dreams are great though. And of course the last 3 books by Brandon are pretty good too (Androl anyone?)
urrutiap Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Im reading the last 60 pages of Star Wars Allegiance. then later today or tonight I'll be reading Star Wars Choices of One

urrutiap Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Anyone know if there's anything good to buy from Barnes and Noble? Like stuff besides Star Wars or Mistborn or Wheel of Time? Are those Alien Omnibus novels any good? What are they anyway? They pretty much paperback novel versions of old Aliens Dark Horse comics or something?
Araris Valerian he/him Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 @urrutiap Have you read anything by Terry Pratchett? I'm not enough of an expert to suggest a starting point for his books, but if you enjoy them there are plenty to keep you busy.
AC12 he/him Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Currently reading Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb. For some reason I think her books aren't discussed nearly as much as they should be in the fantasy community. Anyone else agree with this? 1
urrutiap Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 I woulidnt mind buying and reading a Terry Pratchet book but theres way too many of those lol. This coming weekend for August Im going out of town and planning on going to Barnes and Noble to get my usual fix of Star Wars and maybe get the Aliens Omnibus Volume 1 paperback novel. As for Terry Pratchett, anyone got any ideas of what to start out with for a Terry Pratchett book?

They are each pretty independent of anything that came before them, and are all pretty strong examples of the Discworld books.
AerionBFII he/him Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Deadhouse Gates (Malazan Book of the Fallen) by Steven Erikson I haven't been so blown away since Way of Kings.

Huge. you're reading Malazan.....sure Discworld has about 4x as many books as the main Malazan series, but they are smaller books. i'd bet they are similar in terms of page count or word count.
