I just have a bunch of bookmarks laying around from bookstores that I buy my books from, but I'll use receipts as well if I can't find any bookmarks lol

You are my hero

I’ve been hard avoiding Kingkiller because I don’t want to become invested in what sounds like a truly spectacular first couple of books.

Others have mentioned these, no doubt. But I think they’re worth mentioning again. Sanderson’s Cosmere material is a superb starting point to get into fantasy.

Mistborn era 1 is a tight, fast paced trilogy with fantastic world building and fun, loveable characters. The setting of these books, just the world itself, is one of my favorites for sure.

Stormlight Archive is an enormous fantasy series, essentially Sanderon’s magnum opus. He’s halfway through writing his fifth book in the series out of a planned 10 and it is so so fun. There are some older protagonists in this book, but they are all fantastic.

Third, not Sanderson (except the last three, sort of) is Wheel of Time. I started reading fantasy with WoT, because a 14 book series just sounded like a really fun adventure to go on. I was hooked after book one. It’s a huge series that follows a fairly small cast of main characters who undergo so much growth. The three core characters are all 18 year old males, give or take a couple years. It has what might forever be my favorite ending to a series. Maybe not though. I haven’t read a ton of fantasy yet.

Give any of those three a spin and I think you’ll find that you really like fantasy.

This is my first experience with a PWA and it is blowing my mind haha

Dude. It’s only up from here. I started my Cosmere reading with TWoK and was instantly hooked. They’re still my favorite Sanderson stuff for sure.

I’ll definitely be grabbing that book once the mass market edition releases, although this one is really tempting me a bit more than even Tress did lol

Loved WoT. What’s been your favorite book so far?

I’ve only recently been introduced to the Grey Swords but I’m already so interested in their arcs. I also love how there’s been an explosion of lore compared to the first two books. This feels like the book that really opens the Malazan world up.

Currently on book 3 of Malazan (Memories of Ice) and I feel like the story is picking up so much. I love it.
