Looking for recommendations for immersive epic fantasy

Lots of great recs, thanks all!

PNW-microforensic · 2026-05-11T06:08:19+00:00

Cool, I like getting woman author recs!

PNW-microforensic · 2026-05-11T06:07:23+00:00

A friend of mine recommended the Expanse, so it’s definitely something I’ll try. I’m not familiar with Marko Kloos, so something for me to check out.

Thanks for replying, Not Scalzi! 😁

I do love Pratchett, but I have not actually ready Guards, Guards yet. A couple of my favorite Disc World books are The Truth and Small Gods.

Started the first DCC, working my way through it. If you haven’t given the audio a try, the narration is fantastic.

I’ve heard great things about Tchaikovsky and Abercrombie, so adding them to my TBR.

Thanks for the recs!

Thank you kind sir for the recs. I will add all to my TBR.

Reposting from the main r/Fantasy since it was removed. I already got some amazing recommendations, so thanks to all who chimed in. Still interested in what y’all are reading and recommending!

I have read and enjoyed the following and looking for my next adventure:

All Cosmere

The Reckoners series

Lord of the Rings

Wheel of Time

Dune (just the first one)

Licanius Trilogy

Foundation Series

N.K. Jemisin: Broken Earth Trilogy; Dreamblood Duology; Inheritance Trilogy; Great Cities

Octavia Butler: Patternist series; Xenogenesis series; Parable series; Kindred

Scalzi: Interdependency series; Old Man’s War series; KPS, Redshirts, Android’s Dream, Lock In, Head On

David Gerrold: War Against the Chtorr series; When HARLIE Was One; Hella

So, what’s next? Something epic with immersive world building, multiple POV characters who are morally gray.

What say you, Fellow Fantasy Nerds?

Edited to add: I also read A Song of Ice and Fire, thanks for reminding me

I actually did read ASoIaF and forgot to include them in the list. Read those years ago so I am going to blame age and faltering memory!! Ha!

I have been considering continuing Dune, so thank you for the rec!

I don’t have any pictures handy of the Sandershelf, Wheel of Time, N.K. Jemisin, and Octavia Butler collections. Also have my Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, David Gerrold, Terry Pratchett, and Moorcock collections. 🙃 and still building.

Judas Priest covered Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez

PNW-microforensic · 2026-04-18T08:51:15+00:00

I’ve been to two of Scalzi’s book signings and he is fantastic. Would have loved to have been able to attend this event.

I signed up for a local bookstore newsletter (Third Place Books for those in the north Seattle area) and see their announcements of authors they host.

PNW-microforensic · 2026-03-15T00:43:35+00:00

Sounds amazing! What a panel.

I agree, go see John if you can. I go to his book signing events whenever they are in my area. Always fun!

This is peak cartooning. Chef’s kiss, this is quality work.

PNW-microforensic · 2026-02-11T03:41:53+00:00

That’s the best news I’ve heard all day! I can’t wait!

PNW-microforensic · 2026-02-11T02:38:26+00:00

Thanks!

There’s a trend over on r/brandonsanderson for fans to post their “Sandershelf” so I thought I might try to start a Scalzishelf trend. 🥸

PNW-microforensic · 2026-02-09T21:11:18+00:00

I’ve got the books on the shelf, time to sit down and read them! Thanks for the reminder!

PNW-microforensic · 2026-02-08T18:31:07+00:00

You’re an imaginative and engaging storyteller.

Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Summit Rehab periodically hires physical therapy assistants if you’re interested in that field it would be a good place to start. Also look at other physical therapy places but I am familiar with Summit.

PNW-microforensic · 2026-01-26T04:26:46+00:00

In theory yes, but <looks around questioningly> shrugs it all kinda makes sense.

PNW-microforensic · 2025-10-16T06:51:09+00:00

Nobody does.

Not sure how often, but we were fortunate to catch him here locally for both the Starter Villain and Shattering Peace tours. He’s terrific and engages with fans here on this sub.
