THIS IS KINDA LATE BUT I DO NOT CARE BECAUSE BOOKS. BTW guys like everything I read is fantasy.
The Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones are amazing, about... okay to be honest, Chrestomanci is like the fantasy version of Doctor Who. Chrestomanci is a deus-ex-machina. But Christopher Chant is such a smug bastard and the descriptions are wonderful and make you feel like you're there, without being over-the-top-hi-Robert-Jordan. And I love the victorian-era fantasy vibe it's got. The Temeraire Series by Naomi Novik has such a cool and fun take on dragons. IT HAS DRAGONS DURING THE NAPOLEONIC WARS and they're pretty much airships. But the dragons are so adorable, and giving a curious baby dragon to a stiff British naval officer is always a good idea. They are my favorite BFFs ever. The Gentleman Bastards Sequence by Scott Lynch. Guys the writer named the main character after Locke from FFVI. Need any more reason? Alright. It's all about a band of con men and it's hilarious and gritty and high-octane fantasy. Don't ask what that means it's just what a review of it said. But seriously, the characters and dialogue is so much fun, and there are so many moment when you think they're well and truly fucked until it turns out that they weren't near as fucked as they are now and. It's wonderful The Mistborne Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson is also amazing. The ending was hands-down the best ending of a series I've read. Ever. The main character is all kinds of badass and YOU GUYS I SHIP THE ROMANCE IN THIS SO HARD. But it's a great story, a cool magic system, fun dialogue and characters, and some things from the first book come up in the last book that I did not see in a million years. A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R. R. Martin. HEY GUESS WHAT BOOKS MY CANON IS INSPIRED BY. These books are not happy. Ever. It's grim high-fantasy where the story is pretty much "rocks fall everyone dies." But the politics and intrigue and just everything keep me reading them. I have such a love/hate relationship with these books you guyssss.
