I'm close to finishing Assassin's Aporentice. Robin Hobb is great at writing characters and their interactions. It feels like Fitz has an organic community all around him.

Robin Hobb....😘👌 chef's kiss, S tier author.
I've probably reread the Assassin and Farseer series 6 or 7 times. You're in for a good run of reading!
Just finished the first book. It was incredible. I'm taking a break to read the first Earthsea novel then I'm hopping back in the saddle
Earthsea is a fuckin banger!
Was reading Release That Witch but dropped it pretty fast. Other than that, catching up on the latest volume of Ascendance of a Bookworm, patiently waiting for Re:Zero vol 22 and slowly making my way through the Spice & Wolf audiobooks
I just finished Waybound by Will Wight and enjoyed the series finale! I've also been working my way through the Malazan book of the Fallen, I'm on book 4 House of Chains
Currently reading Dreadgod by Will Wight with Waybound up next!
Even though I’m done with Reddit at the end of June, I’d still like to try and complete my r/Fantasy Bingo card. To that end I just finished Hounded by Herne for my Druid spot (been wanting to start the series), and I’m reading the Gurka and the Lord of Tuesday right now.
I'm reading Age of Myth by Michael J. Sullivan, and I'm enjoying it a lot! I also enjoyed his other books, the Riyria Revelations!
What is your opinion on the wheel of time? I’m reading it currently, crown of swords I think. I really enjoy it, but at times I feel like there are some random plot twists haha
Most of the plot twists pan out, they're not just tossed in there!
Honestly, I read up to the 9th or 10th book when they were relatively newly released, never got around to finishing the series. I'm on my second read of the series and I'm around where I stopped last time, and I wish I had made it through the first time.
Hmm well then :D I'll continue and hopefully finish in time. But it is really long haha
But I just love the worldbuilding there and how it plays with disinformation. You can understand why everyone does the things they do, but sometimes you're just like NOOOOO, don't do that, they're on your side xD

Just finished 'Between Two Fires', which was absolutely incredible.
Currently reading 'Imajica', which is very different, but going well.
1Q84 is next on the shelf.
I'm reading book 3 of Malazan, Memories of Ice. I'm really enjoying the ride so far, even tho I'm progressing slowly because the writing style requires a LOT of focus since I'm not a native English speaker.
Just starting with Malazan, and finished up Gardens of the Moon a couple of days ago. Overall was pretty enjoyable, but it certainly shows that I'm out of practice with high fantasy worlds. Lots of unfamilar names that left me checking the cast list regularly.
Really looking forward to more info on the warrens that I'm hopeful will come in later books. While I get the impression the same cast won't be back for the whole series, I hope to see more of the Bridgeburners as well!
There's a couple books I've read where I've had to have two book marks, one for my place, and one for the index so I can figure out wtf is going on and who these people even are. I've enjoyed those books, but it's always an exercise in patience.
I have tried malazan so many times and just can't get through the first book. Idk what it is, I just can't seem to finish it. I've even tried the audio book, I think it's just a style thing
I suggest that you edit the post title to just be "what's everyone reading?"
Its like on TikTok when someone starts off with "I did not expect that to blow up"
Nope, and I'll tell you why.
Prior to my post, the last post was 4 months ago, with I think one comment. The post before that was FOUR YEARS ago. The title and body stays.
That said, I get where you're coming from.
