Realitytripp Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I've read the first three Mistborn novels and the first two Stormlight novels as well. Anyone have any suggestions on what else to pick up before Oathbringer comes out in November? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) In addition to any Sanderson books I suggest the following: Paul Kearney -Monarchies of God series Pierce Brown-Red Rising series James s.a Corey-Expanse series Daniel Abraham-Dagger and Coin series Brian Lee Durfee- Forgetting moon (only the first is out, but it is absolutely fantastic) Eames- Kings of the Wyld Joe Abercrombie- Everything he has written Edited June 2, 2017 by Ammanas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbreaker, by Brandon Sanderson, is probably something good to read before getting more Stormlight Archive. There is a bit of a crossover between the two series. Non-Sanderson: Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss (just trust me on this if you have not read it) Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch (pretend this book does not have sequels as the next two books are hot garbage) the Expanse series - James S.A. Corey (up to, erm, 6(?) books so far and it is a fun sci-fi read) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams (amazing British humor novel - the follow ups are good too) the Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas (a true classic that has one of the best storylines I have ever read) Let me know if you want more suggestions! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already read these three but I'll check out the other 2 and Red Rising is one I've heard a lot of good things about so probably get that as well. I think I saw somewhere that Warbreaker is free off his website, is that true? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon314 he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I've seen it here, but I simply have to recommend Warbreaker. It took my breath away. It truly awakened me to the possibilities of novels. I'll never read anything the same, whether it is a message on my phone from Siri, or a long paragraph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 @Realitytripp Besides what's already been mentioned from Sanderson, I'd recommending reading Elantris or The Alloy of Law, the first book of the sequel series to Mistborn, as well. Or, if you want to venture away from the Cosmere, there' she Steelheart and The Rithmatist. For non-Sanderson books: Jackaby by William Ritter is absolutely fabulous. It takes an amazing spin on Sherlock Holmes, combining it with fantasy elements. More traditional fantasy elements, like fairies or werewolves, but it's still really good. This one has two sequels out right now and a fourth book coming out in August, I believe. The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer is another really good one as well. It's a fairly simple time travel book, but it certainly gets confusing at some moments. Besides that, it's a really good book. This is the first book in a four book series, I think. I think it's only four books. Everlost by Neil Shusterman is really good. It's got a simple premise, but Neil runs with it and does some really cool stuff. This is the first book in a trilogy. Sabriel by Garth Nix is definitely at the top of my favorite books. Nix is definitely an amazing fantasy author, probably up there with Sanderson as well. This has one of the most interesting fantasy worlds, besides Sanderson's, I've ever read before. There's four other books, two of which are direct sequels (Lirael and Abhorsen), a prequel (Clariel), and a sequel set after the main trilogy Goldenhand). The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen is a really cool book as well, and is full of plot twists and secrets, if you like that kind of stuff. There's no magic, but it definitely feels like a fantasy world. This is the first book in a trilogy. 42 minutes ago, Dragon314 said: I've seen it here, but I simply have to recommend Warbreaker. It took my breath away.
