My Personal library Recommend to any poor sod listening…
- Terry Pratchett; Theif of Time, Where’s my cow?, Lords and Ladies, The Last Continent, Thud (all right fine, just all of the discworld)
So many story arcs, on the top of it, light humoured fantasy, look a little deeper for satire and enlightening philosophy - Brandon Sanderson - The Final Empire (early mistborn trilogy)
Great take commodity based finite magic system - Brandon Sanderson - The Way of Kings
Not sure how to describe WoK, some beautiful imagery, honour, betrayal, “Journey before destination” (Derdries silver/wool path anyone?).
All of Sandersons work is set in 1 universe with different story arcs playing out on different worlds. This world is big! And interlinked but the sets do work as stand alone so you can go down the rabbit hole or not - Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind (kingkiller chronicles)
Clever word play, lots of trouble, fairy tales, learning and music - Trudi Canavan - Priestess of the White (Age of five trilogy) Gods, healers, power, war
- Laini Taylor - Daughter of Smoke and Bone (trilogy)
Angels and demons, puppets, poison, ~modern day - Leigh Bardugo - Six of Crows (Grisha verse)
The con is a beautiful thing - Bridget Collins - The Binding
Books are memories taken from their owner, sacred and protected at all costs, or item for sale the lives others wished and forgot? - Neil Gaiman - Norse Mythology
Retelling of the eddas, his touch adds to and is also rather faithful to the original stories (as close to original as we have) - Lian Hearn - Across the Nightingale Floor (4 maybe 5/6 books now… Reread needed)
Historic Japan/China with a pinch of salt, love, death, prophecy and ninja skills - Johan Egerkrans - Vaesen, Norse God’s and The Undead
3 beautifully illustrated reference books, I’ll share some pics on the Beautiful Books thread
I have other recommendations, but most of my library is currently stacked and unaccessible. The above are from my favourites/new/new to me shelf.
