I’m an avid reader, but I’m relatively new to fantasy. I’ve always been drawn to genre fiction, but for whatever reason I’ve struggled with fantasy in the past... Sometimes the pacing felt too slow, sometimes the prose was a little too dense, and some books just felt like they were asking too much of me.

That said, I just absolutely devoured John Gwynne’s The Faithful and the Fallen series and loved every minute of it. I also really enjoyed Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan (and will probably continue with the rest of Riyria).

Based on those, what else do you think I’d enjoy?

I seem to gravitate toward fast-paced stories, memorable characters, and straightforward prose more than intricate worldbuilding or overly intellectual reads.
