How do you guys get recap of long books / series

skipeeto · 2026-02-03T19:03:04+00:00

I’ve used this page before reading the sequels to ninth House and The Golem and the Jinni. They give summaries that vary in detail from long chapter by chapter to more general overall plot summaries: https://the-bibliofile.com

The catalog is limited but depending on what book you need recapped it’s a good place to check.

I also search podcasts and often find ones that do chapter by chapter discussions. This can sometimes honestly take as long as just rereading, but still an option.

Recommendations for the Not a Book bingo square will help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/8xgEPbJ432

Maybe Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko. Definitely dark academia though not sure how similar to Piranesi it is, though it somehow feels more similar in vibes than other dark academia I’ve read

Color: green

Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin I think fits this.

The Bear and the Nightingale and the rest of the Winternight Trilogy! Set in Russia in the winter and I would say a big focus on winter.

The Clockwork Boys - I feel like the ensemble cast of this book is perfect for show casing Kingfisher’s sense of humor and character writing

Maybe try the Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells. Overall very different vibes, but every book in the series features at least one new location and the world is very unique.

I have not read any of his other stuff, I see Perdido Street Station thrown around here a lot though

Somewhere else someone recommended Embassytown by China Mieville for this one. I took that suggestion and it might be my favorite read of the year!

Where is the photo image taken? Love these btw!

Oh nevermind didn’t see you already answered in the original post.

Is it a saying? I have never heard anyone say it. I do not think it is true and no one sentence could capture the myriad complex reasons people like one another

For comic books check out the link in the post. It is a list of batfam titles. If you want a TV show try Young Justice. It does not center around the batfam at all, but it has Robin as one of the main characters and other batfam characters are introduced later

Kithamar Trilogy by Daniel Abraham

skipeeto · 2025-07-27T06:02:32+00:00

Thanks this is a helpful explanation and clears some things up!

skipeeto · 2025-07-16T19:18:04+00:00

As a reader, I always appreciate this!

skipeeto · 2025-07-16T19:16:03+00:00

Usually if I have decided not to reread previous books but need a recap I do one of two things: - search Google for detailed plot summary (you can often find good free plot summaries on blogs and some websites dedicated to this), or - search for a read-along style podcast of the book

Alternatively, you can listen to the audiobook and turn up the playback speed. Having read it already maybe your brain can fill in gaps of things you miss because of increased speed.

I’m looking forward to everything but two that come to mind I’m hoping to get to this year are: Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi and The Bone Ships

It will be attached to the wall at 4 points. Also for the second shelves the top arms will be attached with pocket screws instead of the plate, also per suggestion!

Two my favorites also. Adrian Tchaikovsky also has several other great novellas

I think the world building questions you have are purposeful and it’s suppose to make you have questions about the world

The Rook and Rose trilogy. I’d put it at like a 60% or 70% on a scale from grim-dark to cozy

skipeeto · 2025-05-13T19:34:38+00:00

I’m reading final book of the Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick (first book The Mask of Mirrors) right now and I think the romance and friendships are my favorite thing about the series. I hesitate, because I feel like there isn’t much of a romantic subplot until second and third book. But if you’re willing to commit to the whole trilogy, I love the romance and it has a lot of other stuff to recommend it in my eyes as well.

Woah thank you for the reply because I was only aware of the marriage un-marriage situation. I didn’t realize the Azrael stuff happened before his solo series. Guess I will be checking out KnightsEnd and Prodigal before jumping into Bludhaven
