I’m new to the fantasy community, but I’m glad to see it here on Lemmy as well! I would say my favorite novel/series so far has been Mistborn, but it’s kind of the only one I’ve read so far (although it was fantastic). I’d like to gauge all of your responses too!
I loved the first mistborn era but kinda lost interest with the others. Everybody always recommends Brandon Sanderson but after awhile all of his books just kinda run together and are all the same.
My all time favorite series is The Licanius Trilogy. It isn’t talked about nearly enough. The character progression is top notch and also has the most satisfying ending I’ve ever seen. Its clear the author planned out every detail of the entire series before writing a single word.
