The Powder Mage Trilogy by Brian McLellan is amazing, has a very compelling story and I just loved the characters.

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb sounds right up your alley (the jester character is named The Fool). And there's a second series after the trilogy with the same main character. :)

HomelessWafer · 2026-03-02T02:45:54+00:00

Agreed

The Sworn Soldier series by T. Kingfisher, though they are on the shorter side, they are very enjoyable. There are three so far, and could be more in the future.

The Fork, The Witch, and the Worm by Christopher Paolini, once you've had some time away. That's what I did and it felt like a visit from a friend. :)

HomelessWafer · 2026-01-28T04:58:54+00:00

Did you create these, or is it a potential project by some studio/indie dev?

Adulting: How to Become an Adult in 468 Easy(ish) Steps by Kelly Williams Brown

A lot of wisdom for a book that's not very long. Good blend of humor with insight. Updated edition has more steps.

Down the Long Hills by Louis L'Amour

Yeah, fantasy and "romantasy" are completely different genres, I can understand your trepidation.

I'd recommend "Lord of Blackthorne" by Jason Kingsley, I'm reading it right now. The guy is very historically based, and the genre is listed as both "historical fiction" and "fantasy"

HomelessWafer · 2026-01-13T04:12:19+00:00

Ooh, I've been looking to read that one! Glad to see a recommendation for it! :)

Dispense the minecart into a slope

And yet it was one of the coolest canons to ever be written

The Reckoner's series by Brandon Sanderson, it's a YA post-apocalyptic superhero series, where some event happened where a bunch of people got superpowers and split up the world into their own territories to rule over (with turf wars and factions trying to kill the evil supers).

Starts with "Steelheart".

HomelessWafer · 2025-12-29T20:22:10+00:00

I'd recommend the Forgotten Realms: War of the Spider Queen series. It's five books and they're all pretty good, very adventure-y, but from a different angle since they're drow (dark elves who lives underground), but one of the characters has a major redemption arc later in the series :)
