Pinotage 04/14/20 7:57:15 PM #1:	I have the Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, thoughts on these? I just finished Oathbringer which I enjoyed. I also recently finished the Licanius trilogy which I thought was utter trash and not sure why it's got such rave reviews. --- Husikam ...Believes in Patterns <cite>Pinotage posted [p:937408278] in Next fanta...

monkmith 04/14/20 8:28:27 PM #12:	Pinotage posted... High fantasy - is this just fantasy with an emphasis on world building? yeah kind of. its also generally a fantasy world, think middle earth/dragon age/warcraft, instead of being some form of derivation of reality like say arthorian legends or percy jackson/harry potter/dresden files. but i suppose even those later books could be considered high fantasy... --- Taarsidath-an halsaam.

DarthAragorn 04/14/20 8:42:09 PM #13:	Wedge Antilles posted... Read Gentleman Bastards, it was just alright. As a series it's just alright considering the quality of the 2nd and 3rd books. Lies of Locke Lamora, the first book, is fantastic though. Anyway for a new series, go with Dresden Files. It's been a long time since the last entry, but as a result he's got two new books coming out this year. And it's generally gotten better as the series progressed too <cite>DarthAragorn posted [p:937411184] in Next fanta...

Gamerguymass 04/16/20 9:24:22 PM #19:	The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan with the last three books finished by Sanderson. Its 14 books long so it will last you a while. Though they should have made it 13 books instead. If you read the series then you will understand why. The only downside is after a TV show finally being made for it they are fucking it up with just plain awful casting. --- Now Playing: "The Hunt for the Two Missing Nintendo 64 Games" An expansion came out, but I'm still a third of the way through! <cite>Gamerguymass posted [p:937542785] in Next fanta...
