You almost cried? I cried at LEAST three times in the last eight chapters

currently writing a book thats like inheritance games and a good girls guide to murder so if you liked those you might like my book!

Yesss I loved better than the movies soooo much, but I loved Nothing like the movies even more!

❤❤❤❤

Lmao not you mispronouncing everything 🤣 still like your summary

Congrats, Zach. So glad you read them all. I’m 60 yo and read many of these as they came out. Trust me, they are books that will come back to you as you go through the years. You will read them again and your opinions will continue to change. But way to go, proud of you for reading them all and your enthusiasm to share your thoughts. Keep it up!!!

You are an inspiration. I’m so sick of those who say young people don’t read. That hasn’t been my experience as a teacher and this series presents a case for young people who are avid readers.

It's nice to know you liked it! I think nttm was really unnecessary, but I loved it nonetheless. I was really happy to have more of Wes and Liz!

Nah the last two books are awesome.

I love the hobbit but hated lord of the rings. I get it was genre defining but holy fuck is the first book boring. Hobbit is action packed and they aren’t stuck in the woods for over 100 pages and having to listen to some guy speak in riddles and sing songs to them

Brian Herbert is a shit "writer." No one takes his works seriousy.

My first read through the series had me feeling similar, but after multiple re-reads, I am at a point where my ratings have flipped around a lot and Heretics might be my favourite of the series LOL It's like each book tries to come up with new ways to challenge the reader just after they got used to what the previous book was like.

Children of Dune was so confusing but I understood it, God Emperor...

My dad used to read LotR to me as a bedtime story as a kid. It’s been my comfort series for 25 years. So glad you are enjoying it ❤

It’s not revert back; it’s revert

Bro's testoterone just went up

“I almost cried reading the end of this” Sir I DID cry

As someone who re-read Lord of the Rings every year for 15 years - I LOVE seeing people discover classics and get overwhelmed by them. Dune is a sci-fi classic and I think more people need to realize that if you like Fantasy, you will LIKELY like some Sci-Fi, and vice versa. There are so many fantasy classics from the 80s and 90s that I hope you start reading as well!

Throne of Glass is a high fantasy novel

That's because the authors back then were much better writers. Don't get me wrong, some of today's authors are good writers, but they don't hold a candle to classic authors.

One of my Favorite fiction book series doesnt have a lick of a romance subplot. I think it would be considered modern fantasy? (Whichever one has modern day with hidden magic/fantasy) Its not considered a classic like those 2, but I adore The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series.

Look into the wheel of time!

This is so funny to me because I love the Hobbit more than the Lord of the Rings. I love both of course. Just the Hobbit more.

Not classic fantasy, but one of my favorite fantasy series started with the first book Dragon Slippers, and the Deltora Quest series and sequels were pretty great too

Conan

Hot take on my end, I cannot read Tolkien. I tried so hard to read the Lord of the Rings, and I just couldn't get through the over explanation of the settings and things.

Enjoy those classics!!! Happy reading 😉

No romance??? Frodo and Sam was the slowest burn in all of literature. So slow that they never ended up together but come on, we all know it.

If anyone wants an amazing female-led 80s fantasy book with better LGBT rep than some modern books, try Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey!

I would highly suggeat you read any thing by Octavia E Butler, Garth Nix, or N.K Jemison! They all write Scifi & Fantasy & every single book is a banger! You can thank me later 😁

THIS. Not every fiction needs to have romance or spice in them! I just wanna see people slay monsters and do magic and stuff

Mistborn...

Welcome, young man! ❤

Listening to an audiobook of the lord of the rings and I am LOVING IT ❤️❤️❤️

Check out Robin Hobb’s works!! Her high fantasy novels set in the Realm of the Elderlings are my favorite of all time. Beautiful prose, rich worldbuilding, and some of the best characters to be written in the genre (Fitz, Fool, Nighteyes)

Also recommend the metro series and the witcher series as really great fantasy/scifi

Go read the original Shannarah series! It's so fun!

I always recommend Bram Stokers Dracula! It’s always ignored bc of how old it is and it’s written in Victorian English so it can be a tad hard to read, but it’s genuinely so well written and it’s surprisingly enjoyable! It takes a while bc of the difficult reading and the length, but I recommend it. It’s a slow read but with it

Dude is so right, dune is one of the best books I’ve ever read (listened, technically. Audiobook)

There's romance in lotr but its subtle

Oh my sweet child, I'm so excited for you! You get to read the classics for the first time!

Yes

Lord of the rings is incredible 💖 ive listen to the audiobook like 4 times now

Read Ursula K. LeGuin

I have to read Lord of the Rings for school. Not just the first one, the whole dam series. Send help

Elric of Melnibone saga by Michael Moorcock. If you like stories such as Berserk, the Witcher, and characters like Drizt Do'urden and the targaryen house, Elric is the grandfather of these characters. Created as an anti Conan the barbarian type of character in the early 60s, he became an archetype for today's fantasy protagonists.

Every time a reader branches out from booktok books to the really good stuff, an angel gets its wings 🫶 Now read Brandon Sanderson - either start with Mistborn, or if you're up for a challenge start with Way of Kings. Its the best there is for contemporary fantasy
