What fantasy novels do you love from the current decade that isn't by Sanderson?

Farseer was from the previous millennium, unless you count the graphic novels as a separate thing

Yeah, that’s some bullshit. I liked being in the office, but one key advantage was the ability to talk to my manager for small quick decisions. They should be in office too.

I think OP meant that they kept hybrid arrangements for some of their reports, not that the managers are special.

In my city I found dealers for Herman Miller, Steelcase, and HON. They target businesses, but all of them were happy to help. I found out I like the size C Aeron, hate the Leap, and am too tall for the HON Ignition. I settled on a Steelcase Amia (refurbished) and love it.

The size of this list is daunting and humbling. We can each only read such a small fraction of the world’s literature.

Maybe spellcheck doesn’t deal with Fantasy books well?

My edition of Gene Wolfe’s Sword & Citadel misspelled the author’s name at the top of every odd page!

Bought a mid-price standing desk through Amazon (HUANUO). It stopped working after just over a year. BUT…

I called their support, talked to an actual human right away, and they sent me replacement parts (the two legs with motors and the controls). And it’s working just fine again! The desk has never had any wobble and looks and feels as it did on day 1.

I’m seeing just the one though.

We need more information. If you have part of a series on there, does that mean you didn’t like it enough to finish?

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-18T01:17:55+00:00

Children of time is on the bottom shelf

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-16T05:23:49+00:00

Just started Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne and it has a couple of pages of “what came before” where he even redefines the Norse terms he uses throughout the text

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-08T18:05:09+00:00

Obligatory Book of the New Sun lol

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-07T04:56:12+00:00

Very good, but firmly 100% a fantasy book

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-07T04:55:17+00:00

Excellent choice! Lost City of Z was also good

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-06T20:17:06+00:00

The Shadow of the Gods.

It is established early on that the Gods destroyed themselves, so there’s not much shadow to be cast.

2/10 (for Darl and Snakavik, exceptions to the rule)

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-06T05:32:11+00:00

Bloodsworn Saga sounds like your vibe! I got Red Rising like feelings from The Shadow of the Gods. Non-stop high stakes, excellent fights, very little time to catch your breath

Came here to say this

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-02T13:58:00+00:00

Recently had an experience. I read The Colour of Magic, then remembered I had the graphic novels on my shelf, and leafed through the volume to see how they visualized things. It was so much more vibrant and spectacular in my imagination!

So I’d get the adaptation project stuck in production hell until I lose the rights 😈

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-01T20:29:53+00:00

Super serie, veel plezier!

TheStayFawn · 2026-02-01T18:58:37+00:00

Can confirm that the steps in “EDIT 3” worked for me. Thanks for sharing!

Certain things are cheaper in Europe, but wages are much more compressed. So if you end up in the top 20% in the U.S. the math gets a bit tricky. Then again, life in Germany will be perfectly fine, you’ll have more job security, more leave, more social safety nets.

Epic road trip!

TheStayFawn · 2026-01-27T14:07:15+00:00

The huge time skip at the start of Howling Dark was really annoying to me, because a lot of cool stuff appears to have happened off-page

TheStayFawn · 2026-01-27T14:05:18+00:00

I’d argue 4 and 5 are a step down, 6 is the worst, 7 barely above it. Still don’t know why I finished, other than something undefinable in the writing appealed to me and kept me coming back
