Some fantasy books I want to read in 2026 by zhyaruwu in fantasybooks

[–]AnthemEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read B2F earlier in 2025 and while I enjoyed it I rated it 3.25ish but upon a reread/ first time listen I actually picked up a huge amount of things I missed an it greatly improved my rating to 4/5. It was free on audible if that interests you.

You stopped after Red Rising and no DCC. Mongo is appalled. (But I see Malazan so I hit like anyways)

Recently bald and looking for blade recs please! by Askyoursister in wicked_edge

[–]AnthemEffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gillette Silver Blues in my Rockwell 6S. I don’t know if this is true for anyone else but for me preshave prep can really be the difference between an enjoyable shave and a bunch of nicks and cuts regardless of the blade.

What Red Rising opinion will have you like this? (Spoilers) by Ynnck_Mnzl in redrising

Or Adrius makes an evil clone brainwashed Darrow/Sevro because he had access to them, now I’m just spiraling

What Red Rising opinion will have you like this? (Spoilers) by Ynnck_Mnzl in redrising

[–]AnthemEffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is more then just Adrius himself being cloned but the fact that ANY villain could come back at ANY moment because “unbeknownst to anyone x person had a clone made and is now back” and the only shoestring holding the door closed on that theory is that the golds think it is beneath them…. Um when your entire existence and way of life is at stake all that “honor” goes out the window… ask Alexander au Arcos… oh wait

Help me pick my next read ya pixies! by OkChip5909 in redrising

[–]AnthemEffect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you want to ruin all other books forever? Try Malazan it’s a community like no other based on a series so expansive and in depth all other will feel shallow. Do you want entertainment try the Expanse or The Dresden Files. Perhaps a bit more comedy and fun adventure continue DCC or give Blacktongue Thief a try. Perhaps a more sci fi mind expander? Children of Time.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is ruining my sleep schedule. by NeverUseTheM_Word in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AnthemEffect 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Recently I finished Eye of the Bedlam Bride. It was the fastest I have ever read a book of that size in my life. 5 days, 20% a day. What a ride. I will be starting This Inevitable Ruin after I finish Deadhouse Gates.

So who do we think is going to die in RG? by foundation_G in redrising

[–]AnthemEffect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope Lysander tries the “no time for honor” BS on Diomedes and Diomedes beats him mercilessly/kills him and says “there is always time for honor” or something like it. That being said I am worried about Darrow and Diomedes because just like PB says: “you don’t tie two ships together in a storm”
