[COI General) My book recommendations since COI is concluded

Ordered from best to worse.

1: The Blade Itself (book 1 of the First Law Trilogy) by Joe Abercrombie. Probably one of my favorite books out there. The ending of the trilogy hits hard and completely caught me off guard. The author is wildly regarded as having some of the best characterization in modern fantasy, and the author mixes dark themes and humor fantastically. Plus if you’re sick of reading, you can check out the audiobooks because for some reason this book also has the best audiobook narrator ever, and it’s free on YouTube and some other online websites.

2: The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter (book 1 of The Burning) If you want a page turner, this is it. Very fast paced revenge fantasy story with an African inspired fantasy setting. The audiobooks are also fantastic and free online.

3: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. Very enjoyable, might miss a few things here and there since this story takes place in the author’s cosmere universe which has multiple book series that take place in it, but I think it’s inconsequential.

4: The Way of Kings (Book 1 of the Stormlight Archive) by Brandon Sanderson. If you want something long to get lost in with expansive lore just like LOTM, then I recommend this. The books in this series are chunky, and the first four are really good.

6: Unwind by Neal Shusterman Good ol dystopian story. Here’s a quick summary of it. “The Second Civil war was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child “unwound.” Whereby all of the child’s organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn’t technically end.” I feel like you Mother pathway beyonders will enjoy this one.

Now I’m gonna start rattling some off with no explanation.

8: Lonesome Dove
