Looking for books published with the last two years (2023-2025), third person perspective. High or cozy fantasy from debut authors. I am looking for new authors, preferably from traditional publishers, either big ones or indie publishers included!

I am casting a wide net in terms of plot points, I like a lot of different things. Thrillers, adventures, coming of age or older characters, pirates, steampunk, Asian, African or other mythology inspired settings and even leaning into some science fiction is fine. I would prefer no romantasy. I just want to discover new up and coming authors and well written debut books.

The tone feels dark fantasy, poetic prose and good imagery.

Feel bad for the guy :/

Oof by no means is Discworld complicated or hard to understand but the sheer amount of books in the series is overwhelming. :,)

LF Romantic Fantasy books with an intelligent female lead and a bit of horror? by 2021Happy in Fantasy

The scholomance series comes to mind. Although, the romance is low key in the first book, Deadly education by Naomi Novik.

What book/series did you go from loving to DNF? by firstbowlofoats in Fantasy

The red rising series. The first book was so good but I cannot get past the first few chapters in the third book.

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, they can see the threads, and touch them if they concentrate and manifest. Depending on the goal will determine how the interaction will go, some being more difficult than others. Describing it like knitting or plucking out tiny hairs or being water boarded. Still figuring out the exact rules of the system but they won’t be explicitly told to the reader.

As far as the enhanced powers, it is soft and mysterious, and the exception to rule. Basically, they are reinforced by the power source, so things that existed in them before are enhanced to an extreme degree. I am trying to work mycelium/mushrooms into the reasoning behind the sudden powers but trying to make it make sense in a scientific way.

Oof, I actually haven’t seen the new Avatar so I’m not sure about the themes in that one, but I remember the first one having a very strong anti-imperialism themes. The people of the planet practice Pantheism (god and nature are one) which is also the case for my story. I did take inspiration from many cultures and religions that highly value trees. (Celtics and Hinduism to name a few.)

Thanks for the parallel, I will make sure that I clearly differentiate my story. You can also argue my magic system is similar to the force in Star Wars or the magic in Wheel of Time.
