I want to read a recent(ish) fun fantasy series with an eighteen year-old male protagonist, that has immense worldbuilding and greatly-written characters. Any suggestions?

    Just be aware that it’s not finished and there’s a good chance it never will be.

      Why wouldn’t it ever be finished? I know it’s been painstakingly slow, but hasn’t he been making progress and sharing some updates?

        There’s been zero evidence of any updates. Even his editor claimed she hadn’t seen a single word of the book a couple years ago.

      I would give it about 10 percent that it gets finished. He does have a new novella coming out in November.

        That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he’s written in the last decade.

        I’d say your 10% is optimistic. It’s been long enough that even if he does release it, I’d place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.
