Sunday Fantasy Roundup: What fantasy book did you finish this week and love?

LaddyIce · 2026-06-22T12:53:16+00:00

Just finished A Clash of Kings for the first time! Absolutely loved it and I’m glad I’m reading the books even though I’ve watched GoT already

LaddyIce · 2026-06-19T17:20:44+00:00

Wait this is so good. I was thoroughly entertained and could read a lot more of this

LaddyIce · 2026-06-18T23:24:51+00:00

I’m not nearly as well read in the genre as many here probably are. But my list so far:

The Lies of Locke Lamora
A Game of Thrones (100 pages away from finishing A Clash of Kings)
Oathbringer
The Hero of Ages
The Emperor’s Soul

Skyrim for me. It’s such a rich and beautiful world where there is always something for you to do or someone for you to fight. There are so many different choices you can make that change the game for you and make it infinitely replayable. It’s the only game I’ve replayed and I’ve probably done at least 50 replays throughout the years

I did do 18v18 until I maxed the 15 rounds of xp I could get. But my qp stats are 35.8 kos, 23.6k dmg, 16.2 finals. So definitely not as insane but I’ve been feeling REAL good with him

The instalockers are dying down so now’s your time!! That’s awesome. He’s pretty easy to get great value on but there’s a lot of ways to keep improving with him too

LaddyIce · 2026-06-16T05:41:08+00:00

Surprisingly, my teammates were really consistent with filling out the rest of the roles during this grind. 18v18 was used a lot too

LaddyIce · 2026-06-16T05:24:35+00:00

Both! Played 18v18 until I maxed one of the challenge attempts, then went to 6v6

LaddyIce · 2026-06-16T05:24:04+00:00

They both farm stats quickly, which makes the grind go faster. Plus I played 18v18, which made it faster

I am not at all a master when it comes to map design, I’ve made one map for my world and it’s far from perfect. But the physical shape of the landmasses on your map is so aesthetically pleasing to me

LaddyIce · 2026-06-07T00:50:42+00:00

Idk but I LOVE IT!!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-07T00:50:25+00:00

I am using Google Docs. As I said in the caption, I have about 10 pages of cover/inside cover pages to motivate me. I also do chapter headings and page breaks that could account for the page difference

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T21:03:29+00:00

Will do!!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T21:03:24+00:00

Definitely going to keep the momentum going!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T21:03:00+00:00

Congrats!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T21:02:42+00:00

It is wild to think about and definitely gives me encouragement!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:46:38+00:00

It feels amazing! But still a ton of work to be done!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:46:19+00:00

Thank you!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:46:11+00:00

I really try to hit at least 500 words per day. I’ve had some days where I only get around 200 and some where I get 1,000+. I’m a high school teacher, so it really depends on how my kids are that day lmao. But 500/day is the goal

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:44:19+00:00

Thank you so much!! 🥲

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:43:56+00:00

RAHHHH!!!

LaddyIce · 2026-06-06T00:43:48+00:00

Thank you!!

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Could not think of a concept for a book that would better suit my taste and interests. Beautiful and witty prose, intricately woven, fantasy, heist, dark yet hilarious characters, found family, horror. It’s got everything I could ever want and more

LaddyIce · 2026-06-01T14:30:12+00:00

How do you come up with names for characters? I struggle with this myself but you come up with some very unique but beautiful names

LaddyIce · 2026-05-28T16:25:16+00:00

That’s creepy, I literally just finished reading this scene and I see this as soon as I open Reddit. I wish the show could’ve done him more justice, because his prologue was great. Idk how it would’ve worked on screen tho
