ㅊ 11:26 😅😅😅 11:30
Thanks for the timestamps. My question: which ones aren't grimdark?
Thank goodness. The cc cannot keep up with his speed and accent and he shows the books for like 1 second.
this dropped precisely when I was looking for new books to read
Me too 😂
Let me know if you pick up any trilogies from this list!
😂😂
Great list ❤ some of these I need to prioritise!!
I'm actually on Golden Son. Doing the read along on Mike's discord. Haven't read everything but I need to! What a great video!
My wife and I both enjoyed the Mistborn Trilogy and we both spoke about how good a video game it would make!
My Green Bone Saga books have been collecting dust. I need to get started with the series pronto.
I agree, Ship of Magic is something special.
I would have named my son Fitz, too, if I'd read The Farseer Trilogy before he was born.
Beautiful show. Thank you.
Always great content! Looking forward to seeing how The Bloodsworn Trilogy by John Gwynne measures up to these when it’s completed later this year 🤔
Robin Hobb is one of my favourite authors 😊😊 Jade war is good series too!! Happy reading to you!! 🎉
I read Liveships last year and still can't stop thinking about it. Pure magic
Is it possible to read them without the other series before?
@@CL-jw4ei yes, that's what I did
Hello, you channel is a goldmine - I can always find something interesting to read.
I wanted to ask about one thing - have you heard about Temeraire series, created by Naomi Novik? It's kind of mixture of fantasy with dragons, Napoleonic Wars (so alternative history), and it remind me a bit of The Tide Child Trilogy. Probably the world building is not so crazy in Temeraire series, but I think it's still worth to read.
Greetings from Poland :)
Aww thank you!
I have only read the first book and thought it was good! Not sure why I never continued!
Love Rise of the Ranger and Robin Hobb. Adding several of these to my TBR
Adding Powder Mage to my list thanks to you
Noooooo don’t start Robin Hobb with The Liveship Traders, it was so special making those small discoveries that tied back to the Farseer Trilogy!
My two favorite trilogies are the same as yours! It looks like I need to hurry up and read the Age of Madness (I have already read the First Law).
Kingkiller one day will be there lmao
Great list!!
Can anyone tell me if i should give the second Joe Abercrombie trilogy a try if I didn't like First Law? I enjoyed the characterization fine but thought the ending was anticlimactic as it felt like nothing had changed and the characters had barely progressed or had just gotten worse. Originally i thought it was because maybe grimdark isn't my thing but then I loved Poppy War and am currently reading through Malazan which is probably going to be one of my favourite things ever.
I just completed the first book of mistborn (crazy, i know, been more on a diet of sci-fi the last couple of years) and I don't care for hard magic systems and I don't give a fuck about allomancy and I STILL loved it and can't wait to find time to read the other 2 books. That's how intriguing the world building and the characters are :)
Do you have to read the first law before age of madness trilogy or it doesnt matter?
I will definetly read Fonda Lee this year. :)
you're*
If you enjoy Real of the Elderlings so much you MUST read the last trilogy.
The great character work done by Robin Hobb in the previous books is just the set up for the last trilogy.
Currently reading Rainwild Chronicles! Will definitely read it and I am excited!
@@libraryofaviking I'm in the same boat. I loved the first 3 trilogies but Rain Wilds has dragged a bit for me. Excited to get through and read the last trilogy though!
I just finished the tawny man, and I am quite unhappy with the last book as I hate a certain female character, and I don't like how it ended at all.
How do you read so much and so fast? Could you do a video or a short explaining it, pretty please. Or do you aim to read 100 pages every day?
I second that!
Thirded!
Maybe audiobook?
After seeing you and other booktubers recommending Green Bone Saga , I purchased the whole set ,,, and you were right! ,bout to finish Jade Legacy, great read, I'm sad to almost finish it , 😎😎
Wooop!
I am currently reading through the Realm of the Elderlings and it was a weird feeling to be dissapointed when I had to go back to Fitz after Liveship Traders finished.
I have been reading books since the mid 80ies and I cannot remember the last time a book stuck with me the way the Liveship Traders did. My favorite is the Mad Ship ( I LOVE Paragon!), but the whole story is amazing and I wish I could experience it all again for the first time!
The way it flipps the script on what character you think are gonna be important and who really turns out to be, and the spot on depicition of an actual sociopath was exhilirating!
The Green Bone Saga is where its supposed to be, right on top 🏆
The way you physically hugged all of Robin Hobb’s books when you held them up is really motivating me to start one of her trilogies! Will most likely start with Liveship.
Would’ve loved links to these actual collector/special edition hard covers
I would highly recommend the first 3 Black Company books as the greatest trilogy. Gene Wolfes Books of the New Sun are also amazing though that is 4 books.
I’ve read these all but series 15!!
Moved from the Faroe Islands? How long did you live there? 😅
Amazing video btw 👌
I have only read two of these trilogies and the fact that this creator has ranked my ultimate favorite trilogy greenbone saga as no. 1 adds credibility to this list. I will be following and read through it.
Liveships is on my list for this year for sure...
I hope you will love it!
Do you recommend reading at least The First Law trilogy before Age of Madness? I’ve seen that that trilogy is the last of 4 trilogies ??
You should read The First Law first. There are 3 trilogies, The Age of Madness is the last. They are interconnected, so read them in order 😊
Have you ever read Dragonlance Chronicles or Legends? Two great trilogies!
Everything by Joe Abacrombie is phenomenal. I was strangely disappointed with the Mistborn trilogy
Green Bone Number 1? Halfway through Jade City right now, Enjoying it so far, this has me hyped for the rest of them :)
Saddened that I had read so many on this list however I have picked up a bunch of recommendations.
And the fact that we seem to have liked the ones I have in common with this list means I will unreservedly pick up the ones I dont as I see them.
Great list and thank you for your channel
Thank you for the kind words!
Oh, also, I am not sure if I would really count it as fantasy, but deffinitely give the southern reach trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer a go. It may not be for you at all, as it is a very weird, unique read, but if a book that can create an intense sensation of wonder, but also of uneasy at the same time, sounds intriguing to you, then this is the one.
I tried Tide Child and it was on my worst of 2021 list. I was so confused. Lol. I'm going to be giving it a second chance, though, now that I'm more experienced with fantasy.
I love Green Bones saga as well!
Have you read the Daevabad trilogy by Shannon Chakraborty?
check out Bartimaeus by Jonathan Stroud. It's YA, but for a trilogy , isone of the best YA trilogies i ever read.
(technically 4 books in series, but the 4th one is a different POV / during a different Era in same universe. First 3 books follow the same primary characters.
I seem to have a lot of trouble finishing series.
You should read the stormlight archives!!!
I highly recommend the Lyonesse Trilogy by Jack Vance. I never see any reviewers talk about it, and that's a shame.
Huh. It's interesting how differently I rank Hobb's first three trilogies from you. (I think Tawny Man>Farseer>Liveships, but they're all good.) Anyway, I really like your channel, keep up the great work.
What about fitz and fool trilogy?I just finished the tawny man.
@@strawberryorange3755I just finished Tawny Man a little bit ago and don’t have the rest of the books yet. Sadly I promised myself I would read some unread books on my shelf before I continued on with RoTe.
As someone whos just getting back into reading at 28, when the last time I read books properly was when I was about 15, the Mistborn trilogy is giving me a thrill that I haven't felt in years. Perfect series to start back out in as I agree, its not quite YA but not quite full blown adult either.
You haven't read the last trilogy of Fitz yet? Please do! I read it twice already and both times the plot and espacially the end left me crying.
Great trilogies, check out Stephen R. Donaldson and the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant trilogy 1 and 2 and 3, also Ursula K. Le Guin the original Earthsea trilogy is awesome.
I was going to comment earlier shouting about how you could have First Law at 6.
But can't argue too strongly against your picks, I do prefer it to AoM, but it's close, Hobb I would have Farseer higher than Liveships as well, and both just below FL, GB is awesome, though it would be top for me. only one I disagree with is Misborn which I DNFd about 10% into book 2
So different from my top 10😊Really hated farseer trilogy and not keen on mistborn either.😅 but enjoyed liveship traders from your list.❤
I know Red Rising was originally a trilogy, but you can’t really count it as one now, can you?
Oh thank G-d, my favorite is in your list 🙏, I simply couldn’t like you anymore if it wasn’t 🤦🏼♀️😉 Great list 👍🏻
Dissagree on era 2 mistborn. Book 1 and 2 had me not sure where the story was going but the 3rd book brought it all together soo well it changed how i felt about the other 2 and i think it is on par with era 1
ive read Jade City, and i did not like it. It felt like nothing happened in most of the book until the end. I have the other two, and plan on reading them, but i had to take a break after how bad i thought the first one was.
So jealous of the Goldsboro eotw trilogy. Just ordered bk 3 in that edition but can’t get 1 or 2 😔
EOTW? Not familiar with the abbreviation
@@timraley8299 empire of the wolf
Great video. Just a note a few spelling mistakes. It's Roles not Rolls, and Echos not Echols
Sorry, I honest mistakes from my editor!
Do you know the Blackwing trilogy by Ed McDonald ? It's an amazing grimdark saga.
I've owned the first book for ages but haven't picked it up yet!
@@libraryofaviking Give it a try! You won't regret it.
Totally agree. Manifest Delusions is another amazing grimdark trilogy.
No Stormlight archive ?!?☹️
That’s not a trilogy…
@@jakebread7 facts, I got caught up in the Stormlight adrenaline…
Brandon Sanderson!!!
I wish I liked book two and three in Poppy War🤔
World building in the name of world building is overrated. These last 20 years where 1000 page books could be 300 is keeping me depressed and in need of betterhelp. Queue the ad.
I'm reading Red Rising right now and I kinda agree, this first book is kinda meh I'm very intrigued where the story is going to go after this book but right now I'm just trying to get through it. Darrow is such an insufferable twat so far, the only characters I actually enjoy are Sevro and Mustang(but mostly just Sevro really)
The second one is sooooo goooooood
@@pepemola9582 I've finished the initial trilogy since then and I gotta disagree with you, they're all just pretty meh with Golden Son being my least favorite.
dude im pretty sure you have a wrong impression of these days' 16 year olds, I am 18 rn and I remember reading shit like Berserk, Poppy War, Gentleman Bastards when I was 16 and they were all 100% for me.
Stormlight archives
"I would never give this to a 16 or 17 year old" me, 15, wanting to read the poppy war trilogy
i like slow books when they are really good
but man farseer trilogy from robin hobb is such a slog for me
I honestly think realm of the elderlings is overhyped
that slowness just kills me
I am that rare Fantasy fan who does not much like LotR. I honor it for kickstarting the genre, and as a great work. However, I loathe the "talisman" trope, the power imbued into an object. That theme is a hope-stealer and a soul-crusher: that you are nothing, and it is this object over which the ambitious are warring, with the winner to be determined by who possesses the magic talisman (or manages to destroy it). Dungeons and Dragons built on the idea of magic items, and now we are all stuck with it, in a sense -- but I reject it to the core. I guess I will always be more of a sci-fi fan, in the end. I like stories about people who learn, grow, and solve problems with wisdom and intelligence, not magic bullets -- or rings.
Tawny Man is the GOAT, even Book Two, fight me.
Yes, I loved book two, I don't care it's slow. But I am really disappointed with how the third book ended.
No John Gwynne?
Of blood of bone one is good so far.Im looking forward to read the whole trilogy :D
Green Bone Saga is my least favorite series of all time.. dang I just really do not understand the hype behind it. I love the rest of the list tho
Red rising is god
This is probably heresy but I found The Lord of the Rings to be one of the best stories I've ever read but some of the worse books I've ever read.
This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.
Powder mage is not remotely steampunk.
More like alternative history somewhere be revolutionary war and civil war era.
Liveship was Sooo disappointing. If you want an author to stick the landing, this ain't it. That would be the Green Bone Saga.
The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy.
LoTR is dated.
Finish the Powder Mage. He sticks the landing.
Liveship was Sooo disappointing. If you want an author to stick the landing, this ain't it. That would be the Green Bone Saga.
