The amount of grief I feel about almost being done with the realm of the elderlings is consuming. I am about to start the last book, and I figured I should start finding another fantasy series to read now.
These are the 2 main things I loved about Fitz's books/ am looking for in my next series
- I want to care as much about the characters relationships/feelings as much as the plot. Some of my favorite chapters were ones where Fitz was living a simple, homely life. Like when he was at Withywoods with Molly, when he was traveling with his wolf, and when he was living his simple cabin life with Hap. These chapters reminded me of literary fiction, because nothing was really going on but the writing was enthralling.
- beautiful writing. My robin hobb books are covered with sticky notes marking sentences that are beautifully written, "autumn went out in a blaze of fury", "when summer smiles autumn is never far away" "that realization whispered into my awareness, light as the first clinging snowflakes on a window". I greatly appreciate analogies, vivid imagery, good vocab, literary devices, and all around beautiful writing. (for example, Ive heard Brandon Sandersons books are written very plainly at a 5th grade reading level, I dont think I could ever read anything that plain).
*these only apply to Fitz's books, in my opinion rain wild and liveship books are on a level below the others.
Any suggestions are greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
also no spoilers for Fitz's ending pls
