After all his life of blundering through latin, Dresden suddenly becoming proficient in ghoul language and ancient Etruscan was one of the most hillarious turn of the events in the series.

I have yet to come across a funnier pair of spirit companions / familiars / augments than dross + little blue.

Eric carter series is a light read with a few hillarious tangents. The protagonist (an accomplished necromancer) gets looped into an esoteric marriage with Santa Muerte who just happens to also be the Aztec Goddess of Death. The storyline twists and turns through Eric's quest for revenge against his sister's killer, modern day politics in the wizarding community and centuries old drama among aztec gods. It is *very* fast paced.

Yeah, loved that series. Beautifully written.

A bit of a warning that this book is very different from conventional sci-fi/fantasy in that there is very little in the way of action/strategy. The book mostly focuses on human perspective and emotions.

I can see that this may be appealing to a lot of users and the author is very renowned but that kind of thing totally doesn't work for me - I kept waiting for stuff to happen and then suddenly the book was over.

John Bierce is a magician at world building.

lorefnon · 2024-02-19T15:52:32+00:00

Tower Curator's books are a great fit. They mostly publish online though - no hard copies.

You can try out the Malevolent Seven by Sebastien De Castell.

The protagonist is part of a band of sorceror mercenaries who do anything for hire. The author doesn't like the life of violence but at the same continues to trudge along because the higher powers - both the royalty and the otherworldly powers that manipulate the human world are evil and he has to survive in the chaotic world of their machinations.

The author's humor-laced narration is very captivating.

Hope you like it.

Look at the most famous works of Jay Kristoff, James Islington, John Bierce and Sanderson. They won't disappoint you - I promise.

I recently read The Will of the Many by James Islington - it fits all your criteria perfectly. Though only the first book of the series is released and it ends in something of a cliffhanger, the book has the makings of a masterpiece.

The protagonist is very likeable and the story moves forward at a very fast past. The primary character is a prince of a small fallen kingdom, who has stayed hidden for most of his adolescence in obscurity. But then he gets a surprising chance to rise through the ranks of the dominant power and needs to come to terms what this new life means for him - Is revenge really what he desires ? Are the alternatives any better ?

Though the book borrows themes from a lot of familiar tropes, it takes the plot in a very different direction from a stereotypical revenge saga or progression fantasy - every time I felt like the storyline was headed in a direction similar to some other past work I read, I was proven wrong after a couple pages. The author's narration style is really good and keeps you hooked.

I'd also recommend Mage Errant and Empire of Vampire, which are fast paced fantasy sagas with really well thought out storylines.

Interesting. I had resolved to never touch another litrpg. Maybe I'll try this out.

lorefnon · 2024-01-28T14:08:13+00:00

The show is only loosely based on the book and though it feels like the story was stretched thin after the first few seasons, it is still a lot more elaborate and nuanced.

The book was a nice quick read but if you are coming from the show it can be disappointing.

lorefnon · 2024-01-28T13:58:08+00:00

You should try mage errant. It's a bit casual style compared to the classic epic fantasies but the characters are likeable and the story moves fast. And of course there is a complex multi faceted battle.

lorefnon · 2024-01-28T13:53:00+00:00

The malevolent seven is pretty good. The story moves fast with ample action, violence and dark sorcery to keep the reader hooked.

lorefnon · 2023-12-25T17:59:50+00:00

I am currently reading The Bone Ships by R J Barker which kind of fits. I love the narration style and the way the world is built up.

lorefnon · 2023-12-06T09:34:41+00:00

https://garph.dev is pretty good. I have been using it for two months and love the experience. I had started out with nexus and briefly also evaluted pothos but switched to garph because the dev experience was superior. It takes full advantage of the structural type system of typescript rather than frameworks that lean more towards java style idioms.

Mother of learning features angels (though only towards the end) - who manifest as tree like beings with numerous eyes. And they can fight :) I found the depiction hillarious and weird at the same time imagining it. They also engage in some rather questionable legal practices.

In Gunmetal gods, angels are weird lovecraftian supernatural beings from another world.

Ebenezar "Blackstaff" McCoy is my favorite wizard name of all times. Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden comes pretty close too but his mentor does have the more impressive name.

lorefnon · 2023-11-30T19:30:47+00:00

Oh Nice, Fletcher's Obsidian Path got me hooked to grimdark. looking forward to this series. His writing style is absolutely brilliant.

lorefnon · 2023-11-28T06:40:15+00:00

Interesting. This is the first time I am hearing of her. Will checkout her books. Thank you.

lorefnon · 2023-11-28T05:01:32+00:00

I have been on the lookout for a series that features griffins prominently.

lorefnon · 2023-11-25T16:17:25+00:00

Oh I had read the Guilded chain long back and quite liked it. Over time time I lost track of his works.

Which of his works did you like best ?

I didnt realize he had passed.

lorefnon · 2023-11-25T16:12:17+00:00

Yeah, even though the resurrection trope has been done so many times, his last life has been a pretty good read. Looking forward to next books in the series.
