Here’s some thing that hopefully will help you recommend something to me.
-I’m looking for something either fantasy, or soft sci-fi.
-I’m a LOOOT more focused on characters, atmosphere, and intense moments. I usually like to read something with a lot of combat, although I’ve loved several combat free novels that I’ve loved. My favorite book is probably Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
-I’m not big on world building and lore, and too much of it, especially early on kills a book for me.
-I need the my books to be consistantly well paced, it doesn’t need to be a constant roller coaster, but It can’t be slow either.
-I have a VERY hard time reading something over 500 pages, and Brent Weeks and Brian Mclellan are the only two authors that have gotten me to finish a 600+ page novel.
-Some things I love in fantasy are really interesting magic, and magical assassins. I also love really clever characters that outsmart their opponenst, especially if they don’t realize that they’re clever.
Here’s a list of my favorites:
Some of my faves are Dark Matter, Poster Girl by Veronica Roth, The Way of Shadows, Tress of the Emerald Sea, Nevernight, Sins of Empire, and Nine Princes In Amber.
Oh, and I do immersive reading, so I need something with a decent audiobook.
