about a month and a half ago I DNFed The Stone of Farewell a little over 75% of the way through and haven't really had the urge to read since. I have tried reading Leviathans Wake and like it so far but can't read more than a few chapters at a time.
I have been doom scrolling and playing games with friends, but nothing is scratching the "itch". A part of me want's to go back and finish The Stone of Farewell, but the passing on TBB version is so terrible that I also don't want to.

House sitting for a friend and they’ve got both of them on the shelf. Trying to decide which one I should start. I’m a huge first law fan if that helps

I just finished Ashes of Man and need a new main read while waiting for the next Sun Eater books.

Which would you recommend and why?

The Book of the New Sun

Hyperion

The Will of the Many

Red Rising

I enjoy literary prose, philosophical themes and deep worldbuilding. English isn't my native language, but I'm comfortable reading challenging books.

I've read so much at this point that I genuinely can't find anything fresh anymore. Everything people recommend I've either already read or it sounds like something I've read. I want something truly niche, unexpected, the kind of book nobody talks about but should. Help me out. I love fantasy.

Also, since a few of you asked, I usually dig through Knosit to find niche stuff (https://knosit.com/books).

Looking to read a book where there is an interesting city/town. I am mostly interested in fantasy books, however if anything else springs to mind I would still be interested to know.

Something with a lot of world building like harry potter would be wonderful.

Unsure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been wanting to read her books for a while.

Do you think I should start with Throne of Glass or a Court of thorns and roses?

I know absolutely NOTHING about these books besides the fact ACOTAR is an unfinished series I tink?

Some help/ recommendations would be appreciated! And pls no spoilers!!!

Both seem to have Norse inspired mythology. Just finished the Black Tongue Thief (loved it), the First Law side stories before that, and hoping to keep that winning reading streak going. #norsefantasy

Looking for my next fantasy series. Should I read Throne of Glass, The Bound and Broken, The Faithful and the Fallen, or the Empire Trilogy?

I am not much of a reader (only read bl mangas) But I'm looking to try out fantasy novels ~any suggestions on what I should start with?

Hello everyone, I came here to ask a very simple question, should I continue reading this series (I just finished the book one), if I didn't really like any of the main seven characters except Nyneave? I like epic fantasy, so I thought WoT will be just the right series for me but I found practically everyone painfully plain, so maybe it's just not a series for me. I just wanna know before purchasing the next pretty expensive book.

Thank you and have a great day <3

Finished The Dandelion Dynasty and now I have a serious book hangover.

Can anyone recommend books or series that capture a similar feeling? I'm looking for:

Epic scope spanning years or generations

Politics, strategy, war, and nation-building

Strong character development

Intelligent worldbuilding

A sense of civilization progressing and changing over time

Preferably for adults, but I don't mind YA, and preferably a ridiculously long series with political drama in the setting and in which the MC has peers to adventure with. This used to be one of my favourite genres when I used to read, but college forced me to focus on non-fiction. Now I'm trying to get back in.

Katabasis and Iron Widow scratched that itch for me, as examples, although Iron Widow is YA.
