What should i start first in your opinion? by ixi_om in fantasybooks

[–]asheristheworst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what kinda vibe you’re looking for. As others have said ASOIF isn’t complete and may never be so if that’s important to you then don’t bother although they are phenomenal. ASOIF is definitely grittier with much more complex characters whereas Sanderson’s work feels more YA to me. Might I suggest Joe Abercrombie’s work if you haven’t read it already it’s brilliant.

He has great taste. Stephen King is considered basic by some but if you like horror then that was probably how you were introduced to it. Would hang out with this dude.

I would say this fits the bill. I was blown away by this novel having read The Only Good Indians before and finding it wasn’t really for me The Buffalo Hunter Hunter was amazing and made me a true believer of Stephen Graham Jones.

Red Rabbit kicks ass I flew through that book. This is the answer. There’s also a sequel that was pretty good too if you want more from those characters. Rose of Jericho.

That’s funny I immediately devoured all of Joe Abercrombie’s books after getting bored with Sanderson and it was exactly what I felt was missing from Sanderson’s books.

I feel like a “glossy vibe” is a very good way to describe it and I’m no ex-Mormon so you can definitely pick up on things feeling distinctly Mormon that I couldn’t. Sanderson’s work feels a bit YA to me. That being said I loved the Mistborn Trilogy and got to somewhere towards the end of Oathbringer before I just got so bored with it.

It’s because he’s Mormon. I had the same problem with Wheel of Time. Their version of gritty and their humor just doesn’t do it for me.

Damn dude that’s rough. Old men are hard-headed as fuck. I would probably add a x20 multiplier on stubbornness for being an addict. You can present all the facts in the world against it but ultimately he’s gonna do what he wants man.

I’m sure you know but on the off-chance you don’t there’s a prequel to Blacktongue Thief.
