Looking for recs similar to John Gwynne – he’s my favorite fantasy author. I want classic, epic fantasy and love when there’s a lot of characters/found family/animal companions. Love battle scenes and the traditional good vs. evil. I will say I like my books to be on the faster side with pacing and plot as I lose interest easily.
I read Farseer and gave it 3/5 stars – too slow for me. Read First Law & loved the characters, but found the plot really slow. Ryan Cahill’s series keeps getting recommended to me- I read the first few chapters but the writing felt mediocre and it seemed TOO similar to Gwynne’s Faithful & the Fallen where I was comparing the two the whole time.
TLDR; looking for classic epic fantasy recs that are faster paced and plot driven.
