This is going to sound weirdly specific, but could anyone suggest fantasy books with the following criteria (doesn’t have to include all, as long as there’s most of them there):
– Fast-paced action/fight scenes
– Witty humor/banter between characters
– Fun magic system
– Themes of friendship and/or family
– Happy or at least bittersweet ending
Without the following:
– Nihilistic or grimdark themes
– Long stretches of narration without dialogue
– Focus on political intrigue
– Explicit sex scenes
– Emphasis on romance (small instances of romance are fine)
– Depressing/hopeless ending
Some authors I’ve really enjoyed in the past are Michael J. Sullivan, Rachel Aaron and David Eddings.
Thanks for your help!
