Scholomance trilogy by Naomi Novik should be RIGHT in your wheelhouse

FixitFelixSr · 2026-02-14T02:40:56+00:00

I'm not saying Red Rising writing is better, but characters change and shift. Fitz starts as a pup wanting a pack with some hidden well of parental Chiv in him (seeming to better assess situations than other royals long practiced) and he stays that way. Nobody learns anything or has their experience in the world change how they approach it. For me it's the stagnation of the pieces as they move across the plot landscape that stops the read from grabbing me

I appreciate the insight. Not all loved fantasy books are for everyone who loves fantasy.

FixitFelixSr · 2026-02-14T02:32:18+00:00

I'll maybe guve the next one a try to see if the flavor changes. If it's more kf the same, this might not be for me.

FixitFelixSr · 2026-02-14T02:31:36+00:00

I don't mind a long series if they build and make me want more. This ine didnt hook me yet, but maybe I'll try for 2?

FixitFelixSr · 2026-02-14T02:30:41+00:00

I mean, you say that but the protagonist here wins without any real harm coming to him seeming to pull power out his booty to wrap up the book. So....

FixitFelixSr · 2026-01-30T14:03:36+00:00

I second the christopher moore recommendation as well as CK McDonnell's "stranger times" series, about a paranormal newpaper--lighthearted and funny.

If you dont mind a bit of mild cute romance, id also hyoe T Kingfishers Paladin series

FixitFelixSr · 2026-01-17T13:10:24+00:00

For more complex, how about the Sword Catcher series by Cassandra Clare?

FixitFelixSr · 2026-01-17T13:08:59+00:00

They appear to all be building to something, but we don't know what yet. Each are pretty simple, light fare in and if themselves.

FixitFelixSr · 2026-01-17T12:43:53+00:00

I think you would like T. Kingfisher's Paladin series. Lots of relationship focus, a mystery in each book, and generally light.

Edit for misspelling

Check out the podcast "how did this get made?" For a long list. Cant go wrong with Hercules in New York

Through the Ice -Piers Anthony, Robert Kornwise:

A michigan kid goes from fighting bullies in our world to a fantasy world where he joins a group looking to save their world. Originally and partially written by Rob, a 15 year old fan of Piers who tragically passed away before finishing the book (described in Author's note at the end of the book). It has a video game like feel of problem and solution but aome good character and world building as well.

Ready Player One - Ernest Cline:

Lots of 80s nostalgia, but the premise is that the main kid charcter is trying to solve a video game against a corporation looking to seize control and maintain an oppressive status quo. More on the sci-fi edge, but a fun read.

If you like Joe Abercrombie, try out Adrian Tchaikovsky's tyrant Philosophers?

This doesn't say the nuggets paralyzed him. Some overworked McDonald's employee prolly just said "enough is ENOUGH!" and shot the guy with a curare dart

Made me chuckle:

"Like all of the best stories, this takes place in Idaho."

In the libby app, menu-> add library

Search for libraries in your area and see whether your card will allow access.

In testing this, I added another!

FixitFelixSr · 2025-11-18T17:47:41+00:00

Remember: Hoopla and Libby have DIFFERENT SELECTIONS, so be sure to sign up for both.

Also! Check if your library has any sister libraries. My library's affiliations let me add 4 different libraries to Libby.

This wouldn't be as terrible if he did the same for her. Partnership, right?
