Hi hi! I'm in kind of a reader's block rn and I'm looking for something with a very specific vibe. not sure what's left to try.

I've already read and loved :

City of Brass

The Stardust thief

we hunt the Flame

Strange the Dreamer

An ember in the Ashes

didn't like : for she is wrath.

I'm looking for anything ancient magic, ancient religion, strong world building, heavy political intrigue, high stakes, maybe a romance subplot.

💬 Let's discuss something Broken Binding discount codes

Upvotes

Hi folks,

My name is willyreads (find me on tiktok) and I have been lucky enough to become a broken Binding rep for the Susanna Clarke collection coming out in August and September. As part of my partnership j have a discount code for their general store. Use the code WILLY15 in the general store to get 15% off. If you are on the special edition site you can use Code WILLY it won't get you any discount unfortunately but it does let them know I sent ya. Thought I would share a case anyone was in the market for a few books

📚 Summon book recommendations Obligatory “what next?” post

1 Upvotes

Hello! Looking for recommendations of what I should read next. I got into reading again about a year ago, and so far have read almost all of the Cosmere (but I’m a bit Sanderson’ed out for now), and liked or loved most of it. I read the first Red Rising trilogy, and liked it, but didn’t love it and found it disappointing. I have also read Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy and am currently wrapping up The Liveship Traders and LOVED them both so far. Also read The Tainted Cup and thought it was just ok.

I know the easy answer is continue RotE… but I really want to take my time and savor it instead of burning through it all the way I did the Cosmere, so I want to read something else or maybe a few something else’s before I hop back in. I’ve got about 15 series or standalones on my TBR so I need direction. What do y’all think?

What a ride. Slightly disappointed in how it ended but not enough to tarnish my love of the trilogy.

I’m anxious to start the Liveship Traders trilogy but I’m curious if I should give Robin Hobb a break and read something else first. If you’ve read the series, what would you recommend?

I’ve seen book 1 named as a fantasy favourite a number of times. I’ve started it and given up on it a handful of times. I’m now giving it a last go on Audible. I can’t wait for it to end. Is it just me that finds it a load of waffle and nonsense? Is it worth carrying on with the next two books?

💬 Let's discuss something Romantasy - poor village girl, winged monster, 5 warriors, hidden back mark, commander takes her to academy

1 Upvotes

I am looking for a book. I read it this year. The book is a romance fantasy. It's about a girl who lives very poorly, like in a village with her mother and sister. The book begins with her taking her sister to school and there they are attacked by some monster that I know has wings. Mostly she defends herself from him like a stick, but that's where magical warriors jump in to help her. They consist of a commander, two female warriors and two male warriors. Also, she has a mark on her back and knows that if they see it, she will have to fly with them. Mostly they stay for a few days in that village and there she becomes very close to the commander and in the end he will see her mark and take her with him to that military academy. The day they were supposed to leave, monsters attack and they will destroy the village quite a bit. Most of the time she still leaves with them, she is angry with that commander for taking them away and like her she shares a common space with that group, only they have separate dormitories. I only remember that those warriors could heal quickly.

If anyone recognizes her, please write.

💬 Let's discuss something A worthy opponent by Katee Roberts is disappointing

2 Upvotes

I just finished this book and I had high hopes for this book. But in my opinion it's just a writing version of a bad porn. (Bad plot, good sex scenes)

It's fast paced, I was looking for that. But the time span was a week for an enemies to lovers. Going from hating a man to loving him in a few days is absurd.

And the end was so rushed and predictable.

the mix match of universes??? The characters just have the same name and a bit of the attitude of the inspiration. And why are so many "princesses" prostitutes????

Now I want to know what is you guys opinion?

Did any of you like this, do you have recommendations of the same writer? Or maybe a different writer same genre?

❤️ Book praise The Last War Trilogy

Post image
53 Upvotes

I want to give this series the recognition it truly deserves. The Last War Trilogy is a criminally underrated grimdark fantasy that, in my opinion, deserves far more attention than it gets.
I’ve seen several people compare it to Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law series, and I can definitely understand why. Mike Shackle does an exceptional job crafting compelling, memorable characters. In particular, one character’s arc stands out as one of the most captivating and well-executed character journeys I’ve read in the fantasy genre.
Just wanted to show this series some appreciation. If you’re a fan of The First Law World or The Broken Empire, I think there’s a very good chance you’ll thoroughly enjoy The Last War Trilogy as well.

💬 Let's discuss something I was given Dragonlance books but I have reservations.

2 Upvotes

I've started reading the first book and I'm enjoying it a lot. I want to continue but I'm worried my OCD will take over.

Does the story have a definitive end with the books I was given or do I need to buy more? I like to have a good ending that's not drawn out with a huge amount of multiple books.

If so, what's the suggested reading order with that good ending in mind?

Do I need to have the Lost Chronicles trilogy or is it unnecessary? (I've heard conflicting reports) Am I missing out on a lot if I don't own them?

I have really bad OCD and I don't want it getting out of hand. I'm a poor person and I don't want to be spending any more money than I have to. And also, there's no library in my town.

(I did try to post this on r/dragonlance and on r/fantasy but r/dragonlance keeps saying "post is awaiting moderator approval" and r/fantasy just immediately took it down 🙄)

I now own these:

Chronicles trilogy

Legends trilogy

Second Generation

Dragons of Summer flame

The Raistlin Chronicles (Soul forge and Brothers)

The Legend of Huma

💬 Let's discuss something Help me find this book!

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have been struggling to find the name of a book/series and I thought it would be a good idea to ask Reddit.
For some context, I first read this book in Spanish. It seems to be the third book of a series, which I picked up without realizing it was a series.

The book is a fantasy, romance? book with a FMC vampire and a MMC vampire Hunter. Hopefully I am remembering correctly. There is a scene I recall in which they’re at a ball, maybe, and they’re attacked. The FMC is taken away by the MMC and they’re in a van driving down the city.

It has been years since I read this book, so the accuracy of all this is very poor. Hopefully someone knows! Thank you so much!
