I have typically stayed away from high fantasy because I worry I will be too stupid to follow the story and understand the world. I have always read YA urban fantasy and have gotten into some adult urban fantasy in recent years.
however, this year I fell in love with The Will of the Many and then The Strength of the Few. and then, The Raven Scholar became my favourite book of the year. all 3 of those books ended up in my top 5 books of the year. they are really the only high fantasies I have read in a few years and they were all huge wins for me.
so, with that in mind, what do I read next? some things that I appreciated about both books:
• great characters
• easy to understand
• twisty
looking for some recommendations from people who love both series!
TIA:)

I love The Will of the Many and Strength of the Few as well. I decided to start The Shadow of What Was Lost by Islington. This is the first book in the Licanius trilogy. I am about halfway through and so far it’s excellent. Reminds me a lot of Will of the Many
