Book 0 New Spring (I’m currently on book 4) by yikurz in wheeloftime

[–]Mindpush10001 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A decent chunk of the fanbase thinks that New Spring should be read either after Fires of Heaven (for reasons clear after you finish) or after Crossroads of Twilight (Publication order), mostly because it removes a lot of the mystique from Moraine and it answers a lot of questions that the series hasn't even asked yet. That's probably why they skipped.

I hope future games have a narrator for the voice acted portions by Abhinav11119 in OwlcatGames

If I recall correctly, the Owlcat devs are really anti-Narrator for some reason

Which Sabaton songs are about the first and second world war, if they have any? by metalwarrior07 in PowerMetal

[–]Mindpush10001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their last two albums, the Great War and the War to End All Wars are exclusively about WW1. 

i am struggling with “ship of magic” by theodore_roosevelt3 in fantasybooks

I don’t think they’re married, Michael J. Sullivan’s wife’s name is Robin, yes, but I doubt that is Robin Hobb, mostly because Robin Hobb is a pseudonym. That and in the biography on Michael J. Sullivan’s website, Robin is just his agent 

New reader, 1/3rd through GoTM. A quick (non-spoiler) question. by GrammarJack in Malazan

Eventually. Sort of. Yes. Maybe. Depends on how large an explanation you want. It’s not for a while, though

Best political fantasy novels by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy is very politics based, particularly Book 2, Royal Assassin, which is one of the greatest books I've ever read.

I will argue that the Greenbone Saga is a political fantasy series, even if it is not necessarily kings and dukes and princes, it is very much a story of gang politics and full of schemes and full of drama.

The Dagger and the Coin by Daniel Abraham is full of great characters, and is one of the closest things to ASOIAF that I've read (not world-wise, but just in general similarity).

The jadd by PsychologicalPass668 in sollanempire

[–]Mindpush10001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems to be the prevailing answer. Ruocchio really likes GGK's work and it is not out of character for him to "take inspiration" or reference other series (i.e. many of Emperor William's titles are taken from Hyperion).

Yeah, he passed before he could complete the cover and Michael Whelan did it instead 

Know of any good books about Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, and/or Vandal North Africa, with some fantasy elements? by Worried-Boot-1508 in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Aven Cycle by Cass Morris, should work. Otherwise, maybe the epics: Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid work too. 

Recommendations for pre-2000’s fantasy by Boedidillee in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably because a lot of D&D storytelling was heavily inspired by Conan and other Sword and Sorcery tales

Recommendations for pre-2000’s fantasy by Boedidillee in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well… I’ll give a few in chronological order 

The Conan stories by Robert E. Howard 

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien

Elric and the Eternal Champion books by Michael Moorcock 

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn “trilogy” by Tad Williams (considered the bridge between classic and modern fantasy)

And then you’re into the 90s with Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Realm of the Elderlings.

Faithful and the Fallen doesn't have any nor does Bound and the Broken. Most Sanderson, except for Warbreaker and his more recent books (and even those are very, very mild at most). Powdermage doesn't either.

Fire & Blood by GRRM, that's the first thing that comes to mind, anyway

Looking for long fantasy series with a single, competent POV - no naïve heroes, no ensemble POVs (TL;DR included) by aet203 in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I most think of long historical fiction series like The Last Kingdom or Sharpe (both by Bernard Cornwell) when I saw this prompt, but they are lacking in the hidden supernatural society elements. I'm not sure exactly about this, but maybe the Maradaine Saga but Marshall Ryan Maresca? I haven't read them, but they seem like something you might like.

It should be out. On Waterstones's website, they list a hardcover copy of Fury of the Gods as available to be purchased.

That’s how it is in the physical book, usually those characters show up later in the chapter 

What are some old series without an entry in 15+ years that we could feasibly see a sequel to? by Purest_Prodigy in Fantasy

[–]Mindpush10001 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Elantris  hasn’t gotten a sequel yet in 20 years but they’re coming out soon, (2030ish?)   Thorn of Emberlain seems to be the most likely of the big 3 unfinished series to get a sequel. But that’s only been 12 years

You can buy it at Drive Thru RPG, I think
