@theskyisfalling @dresden don’t do wheel of time. It’s dumb. It’s epic and everything but dumb. Just clumsy writing and concepts. Some super original stuff but truly a lot of schlock.

@cdipierr try Savage Dominion by Luke Chmilenko after you’re done with Abercrombie! I’m currently on Blood Song by Anthony Ryan which I would also recommend.

@cdipierr @dresden I banged through them and read sewuentially til Red Country. It was a good romp for several books but does Peter out. I kept just wanting to read the Logan portions and there was very little of that eventually.

@arotrios this is the original fantasy series that got me hooked on reading. The search for all the books in upstate New York at a young age with no money was formative to say the least. I worry reading them now it may be problematic with a bit of clash of civilizations theme between the white good guys and brown bad guys. I’m open to being told I’m wrong as it’s been a while since my last re-read in the 2000s.

@cwagner @dresden thanks for the recommendations. I’m currently enjoying book 2 of Ravens Shadow by Anthony Ryan. In the LitRpg world I really enjoyed Savage Dominion by Chmilenko, a great series, that has a Discworld tone through out.
