    I would say that the Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan is a series that’s fairly fast paced and action packed if anyone is interested.

      This series is all I’ve been thinking about lately! I’m about to start the last book which I want to fly through but at the same time I don’t want it to end, just like what Elle was saying at the start of this video 😆

    I'm reading the Art of Prophecy now. I'm only 180 or so pages in but as someone who has watched a truly egregious amount of wuxia dramas it's been an absolute delight so far. Familiar yet different enough to not become generic and the handling of classic wuxia tropes is great.

  • @thepoetesskhansaa
    @thepoetesskhansaa 9 месяцев назад +16

    An older trilogy that immediately comes to mind is the Powder Mage series by Brian McClellan. The action starts from the prologue and doesnt stop. It is very military-centric though, in case some people are not into that.

    • @binglamb2176

    Kings of the Wylde by Nicholas Eames. Band of retired adventurers recruited back together to save the day one last time. Fast paced, funny, a couple tear jerking scenes to boot. Great read in this category.

    And since Wayne has stolen my heart forever I'm always happy to hear some good words about Wax and Wayne series!
    Right now I'm reading Heroes Road by Chuck Rogers it's a standalone adult! fantasy fast-paced novel and I think it's Unique. It's such a shame that the book has so few readers

    What did you mean when referring to Art of Prophecy as campy?

    • @PagesInTheForest
      @PagesInTheForest 9 месяцев назад

      Art of Prophecy is absolutely channeling the vibe of wuxia (historical/martial arts) genre tv/movies of China. It feels like...stronger comedy vibes (sometimes a bit slapstick?) and what can seem like "exaggerated" reactions compared to what is typical in "western style" tv/cinema, then layer that on action/fantasy/adventure. I reference comedic timing, but that doesn't mean the stakes aren't life-or-death high (in both the book and the genre) more just that the sense of comedic timing is a bit different where silly/outrageous things sometimes happen. I would recommend Art of Prophecy too! - just don't expect gritty realism.

    I think I’m the only person that thinks The First Law trilogy is just meh. I disliked pretty much all the characters, the story never really gelled for me and the ending left me cold. Some of the dialogue was cringey and repetitive, too and that was probably the thing that held it back the most for me. I didn’t hate it but it’ll never make it to my top ten list. But despite that, I still want to read Best Served Cold. Go figure.

    I think VE Schwab has a tendency to write her female characters with a “not like other girls” angle which really bugs me. I found Delilah so grating in book 2, the series has soured in my feelings since I last read it. Which is a shame because the concept is v cool
