Hi! (24/f)
i kinda feel helpless. im looking for my next fave fantasy series, but it seems like my taste is way too peculiar (?) for todays standards. i read the Throne of Glass by Sara J. Maas and I hated it because of its stupidity (i dont want to rant here). i also read the first two books of the Bargainer series by Laura Thalassa and its also stupid. i read the classics, GoT, Lord of the Rings but i feel like theres nothing left for me, because internet/tiktok ruined this genre. these two books ruined my reading experience so badly, that im kinda afraid of fantasy.

I’ve heard Brian Sanderson is a good option for fans of GOT and lord of the rings. I haven’t personally read his books, but people rave about him.
I’d suggest Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames and the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. Both are excellent fantasy series and pretty well regarded. Much better quality of writing than Sara J. Maas.
The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is morally gray, dark fantasy with nuanced characters and some similar themes to GOT. As far removed from Sarah J. Maas you can get in fantasy I would say!
