    It’s been a year since I read The Innocent Mage and The Awakened Mage by Karen Miller and I find myself still sometimes thinking about two of its characters: Asher and Gar. I just loved their personalities and their friendship. I haven’t been able to find a book with any characters that stuck with me like that, so I’m hoping you have some suggestions!

    Some of the things I liked about them are:
    – male protagonists
    – relatively young (20s-30s)
    – bit of a rough past
    – loyal friendship
    – not too much detail on romantic side stories
    – I prefer long reads or books that have multiple sequels
    – I liked that the story was set in a different world, but this is not a must

    Thanks in advance!

    1. The lies of Locke Lamora could work. The main characters are Locke and Jean, who are inseparable friends (this is most present in the 2nd and third books)
