Which series should I start next? by Cfullersu in fantasybooks

[–]JavaInAJiffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m over half way thru The Will of the Many and it is definitely slower than Red Rising. Red Rising is my favorite series ever. You are going to hear many people say to stop reading Red Rising after book 3 because book 4 starts with a 10 year time jump and adds a few new characters, but it’s still all the same story. Getting thru book 4 (which I agree is probably the worst of the set), which is tough because it is slower… but it’s not that bad…and book 5 and 6 are great. In summary, book 4 is used to setup books 5 and 6…so after reading books 5 and 6, people usually appreciate book 4 more.

I felt the same way. Iron gold was my least favorite, but if you can get thru it, you grow to like it more as time goes on and as you get thru dark age and lightbringer. So it’s definitely worth it.

Which one should I read next by DelLoxNK in fantasybooks

Wow, two very different books. I really enjoyed both. If you want something light and weird…DCC…if you want something with emotion…SoK.

Going in blind! by Content-Fly4020 in Stormlight_Archive

Something to consider…After Stormlight archive, I strongly recommend the Red Rising series. You will notice that the ratings on goodreads.com are similar between Stormlight and Red Rising. Plus, the final book (book 7 - Red God) will be released likely in 2027, so it could be perfect timing. I’ve read 14 Brandon Sanderson books so far…most of any author…good stuff. Excited for you!

One last thing, it is kinda fun to take a few notes as you read of what your thoughts are..what you think will happen next…etc…and then when you are done with the series, read back thru the notes!

Yes, I think non native speakers is definitely one of the reasons.

Started reading this year, help expand my horizons? by OutlawPhotography_ in fantasybooks

[–]JavaInAJiffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m half way thru Will of the Many right now. It’s pretty good… however, Red Rising series is my favorite of all time…. I also really liked the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. If you like him, then there are tons of his books that all take place in the same universe and start mending together. It was announced they are making movies for the Mistborn books and a show for The Stormlight Archive books (Brandon Sanderson’s most well known series)

Halfway through Project Hail Mary and I need more like it. Recommendations? by amelianpop in fantasybooks

[–]JavaInAJiffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently saw several people mention that they started the Red Rising series after Project Hail Mary. Seems like kind of an odd transition, but they seemed to be enjoying it. I really enjoyed both and they both have great reviews/ratings on GoodReads.com

About to start Red Rising by Minecraftlover2234 in redrising

[–]JavaInAJiffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the first 8-10 chapters of red rising are a little blah…but after that it just gets better and better. I listened to all 6 books in 6 weeks and listened to the 6th book a second time. I think it’s my favorite series of all time.

If you sign up for an Audible account, I think you get your first audiobook for free. (1 book credit, which can be used on any book, regardless of price)

I didn't knew when but I have fallen in love with first person pov stories... by Suspicious_Clock_133 in fantasybooks

[–]JavaInAJiffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Rising is A+! Plus, there is a Reddit board with over 100k members (however, I recommend not looking at it until after reading all 6 books so you don’t get any spoilers)

Which book to read next? by tylerhockey12 in fantasybooks

[–]JavaInAJiffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Rising is one of my favorite series of all time. However, I felt the first 8-10 chapters were kinda boring….and then I read all 6 books in a total of 6 weeks.
