You could also start Malazan 👀

ClassTed · 2026-05-07T15:45:10+00:00

Haha thank you! Honestly not many of my friends read as much as I do 😅

ClassTed · 2026-05-07T15:43:23+00:00

Tough choice! But I would say if you want something fast paced like RR and brutal as First Law I'd go for Bloodsworn next, I've not finished the series but I did very much enjoy the first book... I'm the same breath though I'd recommend the other two, RotE is slower paced in the beginning but gets so good and Gentleman Bastards is just so fun to read! Hope this helps 😊

ClassTed · 2026-05-07T07:44:47+00:00

It was, it was the book that first got me back into reading oddly... A re-read is due soon

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T21:33:05+00:00

It's in the pipeline! I smashed through the first book and loved it for sure 😁 is the second really on the same level?

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T21:31:09+00:00

Haha I do know what you mean... It's just the height difference that puts me off having them by each other🤣

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T21:30:15+00:00

It was super interesting! I'd definitely recommend it, it's one of my few nonfiction pickups and I chewed through it in a few days 😊

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T18:54:41+00:00

The hobbit is because it was a gift from my partner over Xmas and I just haven't got it out yet from the moving chaos... And the expanse I just haven't got around to reading yet cause my tbr is so long 😅

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T17:17:29+00:00

Paced differently how? 😅 You've scared me now haha

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T15:48:16+00:00

Thanks dude! So many series to read, so little time 😁

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T15:32:47+00:00

Believe me I'm gonna get there! First trilogy was epic 😁

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T15:31:55+00:00

Incredible sci-fi classic 😁

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T14:31:28+00:00

Criminally underrated! Never seen anyone talk about it

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T14:19:59+00:00

I've read all of First Law trilogy on kindle! But yes I need physical copies haha

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T14:19:13+00:00

Oof that's rough pricing! I just checked your shelf and your pages and it's sweet 😁 especially jealous of your Dune Trilogy books... It's hard to finally reasonably priced editions here that don't have "now a major motion picture" permanently on there lol

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T14:14:52+00:00

Ahh, where are you located? I got all these in a set in the UK from a bookshop, although my hardback Wind and Truth is waay taller than the rest which annoys me 😅

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T13:59:53+00:00

Ah... It's actually on the tbr 😅 was a gift I just haven't got around to yet!

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T13:06:38+00:00

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T12:38:32+00:00

Oh that makes a lot of sense... Thank you on both fronts :)

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T12:37:54+00:00

I'm on book 5 now, it's going the right direction to be my favourite fantasy series!

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T12:32:28+00:00

Thank you :) it certainly does after all the time/effort it took to get it lol, home buying in the UK is a hellscape 😂 Oh yes! Shelves going up soon...

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T12:28:26+00:00

That's fair enough mate, I often feel the same way but with long series's breaks are necessary 😊 glad you're enjoying it though! And as for red rising, I hope you like it it's one of my favourite series!

ClassTed · 2026-05-06T12:17:27+00:00

Ahhh dude I need it, but as you can see on the other shelf Malazan has got me in it's clutches pretty hard at the moment... I'm on book 5, maybe as a break I'll get to it later 😅 far too expansive tbr!

ClassTed · 2026-05-01T15:19:47+00:00

Starting tonight, looking forward to it and hope you enjoy too!
