I know there are probably a million posts like this, so I'm sorry to be adding another one to the mix. I'm also not really good at typing these kinds of things so i'm just going to do it with bullet points
what i'm looking for:
- well written characters, not just the main character but side characters too. (also pls no women that exist solely to serve the male characters, or women that have “i'm so feminist i hate all female qualities and praise male qualities” energy please im tired )
- classic epic/high fantasy feel: medieval vibes (not required but nothing to modern), politics, cool magic, murder, kings, knights, maybe dragons but also not required.
- Looong: something around 600 pages, multiple books are preferred. I want something long and gripping, that will preferably completely take over my life for a year.
- romance is good but not required
- iit can be dark, i'm not really squeamish or anything so gore and death are fine
- also bonus points if i’m sobbing the entire way through
books I have read already that sort of fit the requirements:
- the grace of kings
- the priory in the orange tree
- old kingdom
- a song of fire and ice
- mistborn and the way of kings
- the wayfarer redemption
Thank you so much to anyone with suggestions, you guys are the best.
