What Hacker News says
- I got deep into the stormlight archive by brandon sanderson. great escapism!
- I had few months of free time and I wanted to get back into fantasy which I loved. Sadly after staring all day into the computer I dont usually have the energy to process any other text.
The Stormlight Archive from Brandon Sanderson got me exactly back. I love it. I must recommend it for anyone who want to experience one of the best high fantasy books.
Also I need to recommend a source where I found it. I somehow stumbled upon https://www.book-filter.com/
Lovely app which scrapped all good reads reviews and let you simply filter through that because for some reason, these pages are garbage.
Have fun and happy new year!
- The Stormlight Archive, by Brandon Sanderson. Started in January, just finished the latest which conveniently released earlier this month. Liked it so much I got a tattoo from it on my arm, lol.
Very well written magic systems that are internally consistent with very powerful themes of mental health.
- I love the fantasy style of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
But on the lighter side i consider the Murder Bot series by Martha Wells having a charm that i just find lovely
- I'm pretty much required by law to tell you that his other books are also fantastic, and that if you like Mistborn, you should (after completing the trilogy) try The Stormlight Archive.
Kidding aside, Sanderson is by far my favorite author, and his fantasy books are honestly some of the greatest books I've ever read. And I read a lot. I highly recommend finishing the Mistborn trilogy, and then reading some more :)
- > I used to think that between Lord of the Rings, Earthsea, and Narnia, all of fantasy was tapped out.
Depends what you mean by tapped out I suppose. There's great fantasy still being written. Some of my favorites vaguely recently are the Malazan Book of the Fallen, Mistborn, and the Stormlight Archive serieses.
