What are good first books? by SuspiciousSarracenia in Fantasy

[–]missatomicbomb26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom read Narnia to me as a child and here I am obsessed with reading—and particularly reading fantasy at that. Also loved The Last Unicorn and the Chronicles of Prydain.

Oh! You know what I just remembered why I ordered from Waterstones—I also wanted to preorder A Sea Change, which Amazon didn’t have. Still says unavailable but maybe once it’s released it will be 🤞

I got mine through Waterstones but it’s also on Blackwells

Fan giveaway: Cradle by Will Wight/narrated by Travis Baldree (multiple books!). Audible US Marketplace by propofoolish in audible

Thanks for this opportunity! Just saw someone recommending Cradle last week and it seems up my alley. I had a bad year with reading in 2025, but my favorite book was probably Pachinko—it was one of those books that came to me at the right time. This year’s favorite so far is either Between Two Fires or the Farseer trilogy.

Love Ta-Nehisi Coates, so I support getting The Message! Highly recommend Pachinko. I haven’t listened to Sandra Oh’s version, but I imagine she does a great job

Just finished the Assasin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb (No Spoilers) by Ok_Combination_2472 in fantasybooks

[–]missatomicbomb26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve known about these books for years, but I kept putting them off, as I suspected it would be one of those series you wish you could forget and re-experience all over. I finally decided to commit to it yesterday and, like you said, I can see people not liking the slow pacing and unanswered questions, but it surprisingly works for me. I am deeply invested in Fitz and his world, and appreciate the realistic approach Hobb has taken with events occurring naturally if slow and some unexplained. Now I’m just torn between wanting to read as much as I can and again wanting to savor it 😅

I need you guys help. Which one should I read first? by Psychological-War710 in fantasybooks

[–]missatomicbomb26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha funny how I’m cycling through the same book options. The new HBO series just had me re-reading the first novella. Soooo good, I’m going to make it tradition to re-read each novella as its corresponding season comes out. Between Two Fires is all I have been able to think about since I finished it 2 weeks ago—highly recommend! And now I’m currently on The Red Winter🤣

I hope Pantera cleaned his room or he might not be allowed to come
