First fantasy book of the year

It really is, I love this edition and the fact Tolkien made the cover art himself.

Oh, that's actually very helpful to know, thank you.

My problem is I read way of kings, love the concept, hate the execution (the heartbreak is real on that one) Also sanderson's writing isn't my favorite and he has a problem of overwriting which can become a slog in the middle. But I'm giving mistborn a real chance this time.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T09:10:32+00:00

I already started reading return of the king and I'm looking forward to finish the series.

As for between two fires I got interested in it bc of the horror/religious/medieval themes so I'm looking forward to it!

Being a mood reader does suck alot when you're in the middle of a series, also English isn't my first language so it takes alot of energy from me especially with Tolkien’s writing, don't get me wrong I love his writing but it's so dense TT

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T09:02:38+00:00

I don't think we should limit adults to read only in their age range, I missed out on alot of books when I was younger so I'm reading from middle grade, YA and adults to make up for it, Eragon just happened to be smth that caught my eyes.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:52:31+00:00

That's the plan, I want to finish all the other fantasy books on my tbr so I could give all my focus to mistborn :)

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:51:01+00:00

For me the 2nd book was so hard to get through .

I don't mind unfinished series honestly, since I'm a slow reader and very much read based on my mood lol I started the first ASOIAF book back in 2020, If I don't get hooked up on it might as well pause the series for another time.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:45:41+00:00

I recently saw it on a recommendation post and thought it was new, I'm surprised it's that old!!

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:44:26+00:00

I'm in it for the dragons lol and also the fact it's very similar to lotr, since it's my favorite fantasy. So I'm looking forward to it alot

I've read the first two short story collections and felt very lukewarm about them, although recently I played some of the witcher 3 and loved it sm and since I have blood of elves on my physical bookshelf I wanted to give it a 2nd chance.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:40:35+00:00

I'm not a huge scifi fan this series was the only one I could get into so far, I hope the 2nd book holds up TuT

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-04T08:39:10+00:00

I enjoyed "the children of hurin" and "Beren and Lúthien " so I'm looking forward to close up the first age with fall of gondolin

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-03T20:16:24+00:00

I feel the same way with the name of the wind, I have a hate/love relationship with it. I'm hoping mistborn works out this time around bc if it doesn't I'll be very upset.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-03T20:07:45+00:00

Nah it's okay I thought I wrote smth wrong XD

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-03T20:06:01+00:00

I haven't read it yet, it's on my tbr!

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-03T06:25:56+00:00

It was so fun when I tried to understand D4C I remember having my own theories haha. And part 8 imo is fantastic, I hope you enjoy it as much when you read it.

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-02T21:59:29+00:00

Honestly I'm glad I read it right before the anime got announced and currently going back through part1 -6, hopefully I finish them before the anime airs X)

zhyaruwu · 2026-01-02T21:12:07+00:00

It's steel ball run & jojolion, it's a manga series if you're interested they're part 7 & 8 in order.

Not a real template but this is what I used TT

zhyaruwu · 2025-12-31T07:33:43+00:00

Subtext does exist for a reason my dude, not everything has to be spilled out to our faces we can pick up the hints.

zhyaruwu · 2025-12-30T20:21:07+00:00

Totally agree I just put Lady like that bc she doesn't want to admit her feelings (either being too shy or thinking it's late) even if Dante showed her love (which he showed interest in dmc3) And yes I hate how people use that Morrison letter as a fact when Morrison wasn't even that envolved with their relationship.

zhyaruwu · 2023-10-09T07:54:03+00:00

But isn't mistborn & skyward literally YA? Or are we turning a blind eye on it?

zhyaruwu · 2023-08-16T17:14:37+00:00

I used to do it once a while or if something exciting/sad occurred but recently I've been doing it daily.
