    ¿Qué serie recomendarías a alguien que quiere leer algo motivacional, que te ponga la piel de gallina, que haya entrenamiento para superar momentos dificiles ? I read Storm light, Mistborn and wheel of time at 4 book, great video

      Unas cuantas recomendaciones que tengo son Empire of the Vampire (Que es un poco más oscuro pero probablemente mi libro favorito del año), la serie The Bound and the Broken, y The Will of the Many. Déjame saber cuáles terminas leyendo o si tienes alguna pregunta!

    Ragnar Volarus is awesome. Special mentions for Corban ben Thannon, (The Faithful and the Fallen) Binabik (Memory, Sorrow and Thorn) and Loial (The Wheel of Time). Nevermind the part about Corban, I just found part one of the best fantasy characters.

    I love red rising a lot, but I found the series incredibly difficult to follow at points, especially during golden son and dark age, there's just way too many names, way too many weird time jumps, too many technologies and too many locations, I had to hop on the wiki after nearly every chapter.

    You compliment Abercrombie for how he writes morally grey characters that are interesting, and then completely ignore how the jade city trilogy does the same thing? Hilo is one of the most interesting protagonists ever, heavily flawed, sometimes his actions are terrible and you as a reader are just shouting at the page for hime to stop, and thats why he's so awesome. weirdge

    Ive hesitated on Stormlight Archive because as much as Mistborn was a fun read, I found it kind of blah in comparison to much of what else is out there. But I can't stop ignoring the fact that SA os #1 on almost everyone's Top 10🤔 Have you read any of Tad Williams' work? Memory Sorrow and Thorn has such beautiful prose and interesting chracters and his more recent series that returns to Osten Ard is said to be even better I have Shadow of the Gods next in queue after I finish Snow Crash and Im psyched to start that trilogy! Hoping Faithful and Fallen wont be a step down if starting with Bloodsworn...

    • @GladiatorDude17
      @GladiatorDude17 3 месяца назад

      I really understand the criticisms people have of Stormlight and The Cosmere in general. Thing is, despite is faults, it STILL surpasses everything else I've read. But this is one of the great things about reading as a community, we all have our different tastes, preferences, and things we appreciate about books. So we can all come to together and have discussions about the books we've read. It'd be boring if everyone's top 10 was identical.

      @davidr9104 3 месяца назад

      @@GladiatorDude17 absolutely, a lot of Top 10s are similar in fantasy but I guess the great works run common across the community. One series that is disgustingly underrated in my view is Empire of the Wolf Trilogy. I havent read enough to determine if it deserves a Top 10 standing, but Tyranny of Faith is so far the best book Ive read all year. I'm psyched to read the last book in the trilogy when the paperback gets released next month!

Absolutely loved the series minus Shallan's arch midway through the 2nd book until the end of the 4th. Really liked her before that. Have just added The Faithful and the Fallen to my wish list based on your recommendation.
