Hi all. So when I was young I used to enjoy reading Raymond Feist books. I stopped reading as I grew up but a few years ago got back into it for a short while but then stopped again. I've now gotten back into it and realised I'm about to finish my 4th series and don't have any more recommendations lined up, so I'm looking for some ideas on what to read next! I like fantasy, as well as sci fi, and am not really a fan of non-fiction or horror books. Here's a list of books I've ready in the past few years that I've enjoyed:
- The Martian
- Mistborn Era 1
- Project Hail Mary
- 11.22.63 (the first little bit was a bit of a slog but once it got going I loved it)
- We Are Bob series
- Worm (this might have become one of my favourite books despite the length!)
And these are the books I've read in the past few months since getting back into it:
- Stormlight Archive (absolutely LOVED this series – I can't believe I didn't read it earlier)
- Mistborn era 1 and 2 (I had to re-read it after SLA)
- Warbreaker (more Cosmere)
- Dungeon Crawler Carl series (I'm here currently)
Given that, I'm looking for some suggestions for further books after I finish the DCC series. I could go back and finish off the last of the cosmere books I haven't read (Elantris, Tress, Emberdark etc), but I'd also be happy with going to a new series. I was thinking of maybe re-reading Project Hail Mary ahead of the movie launch next month, but I don't know if I should or just go in semi-blind?
Also for books I didn't like – I read Lies of Locke Lamora and just really, really didn't like it. I'm not entirely sure why given it's usually highly rated, but the none of the worldbuilding, characters, plot or anything else sat with me. I kept wanting to drop it but kept thinking it'd get better so decided to force myself through it and couldn't wait for it to finish to get into something better.
Thanks all in advanced – if anyone has any questions, ideas, or comments please let me know!
