Re: fantasy book suggestions
Hi,A book series which might fit what you are looking for is the king killer chronical by Patrick Rothfuss, its low on violence, but has some great character building. Its meant to be a trilogy, but he’s only written the first two books and book 3 is taking

Re: fantasy book suggestions
fred the vampire accountant by drew Hayze is an amusing series. Basically it's about an accountant who gets turned into a vampire, and ends up getting dragged into a lot of crap he didn't really sign up for. Each book seems like more of a collection of short
Re: fantasy book suggestions
I was afraid when I started it that I would have issues remembering everything or all the characters, but I didn't. The nice thing is, the books offer so much insight into all the characters, it becomes impossible not to like alot of them. But I don't think
Re: fantasy book suggestions
Stormlight Archive is good, sort of. But it's also very long, in some cases too long IMO. Also, it's...huge. And I mean that in every sense. Multiple realms. Multiple points of view. By the end of the second book, a sort of pseudo-apocalypse is being threatened
Re: fantasy book suggestions
@10Yeah, it's lesser known. I think because it doesn't lean into the stereotypes. It doesn't do the werewolves are abusive assholes and this is okay thing, by a few books in it drops the masquerade, and she never turns into some sort of badass private
Re: fantasy book suggestions
6, if you liked mistborn, then you might like the Stormlight Archive as well. I have read all the cosmere stuff, and this one, probably the length has something to do with it, has the most character development by far. But it is more of the world is ending

Re: fantasy book suggestions
I'd say Jemisin is more grim than straight-up dark, though she has her moments. Otherwise, yeah, Fifth Season is just a better series IMO.I'd never heard of Kitty Norville before now. Might have to give it a look for the sort of light-fluff reading I sometimes
Re: fantasy book suggestions
I forgot about Mercy Thompson. Those are good. There's also Kitty Norville, which is even more upbeat than those--and one of these days I'll read the last 3.And of course because other people's recommendations make me remember things too: Gail Carriger's
Re: fantasy book suggestions
Daniel Abraham's Dagger and Coin series. There is war and armies, but it's not the main focus. Again, there's a little gore, but it's not the focus; if you liked Wheel of Time, you'll have no problem with this. Characterization is Abraham's strongest point
Re: fantasy book suggestions
Interesting. Me and most people I know find Sanderson incredibly terrible at characters, though maybe it's more that he always does the same ones. Not sure. Usually I come away from a Sanderson book wanting to punch them for being unrealistic idiots
Re: fantasy book suggestions
I enjoyed both Wheel of Time and Mistborn. Both didn't have a ton of in your face gore. Honestly a lot of the fantacy I have read has been more in the romance catigory, or the stuff that showcases that the world is about to end, and I haven't been enjoying
Re: fantasy book suggestions
Hi,@Jescat277, could you maybe give some examples of specific fantasy books you have enjoyed in the past? to give an idea of what you might like. I’m a huge terry Pratchett fan, so I second Camlorn’s recommendation for the disk world books, I’ve read the whole
Re: fantasy book suggestions
what about iron druid chronicles? I like this one a lot, although the last 3 books are kinda meh.

Re: fantasy book suggestions
Dresden is very, I don't want to call it stereotypical but if you want to avoid stereotypical urban fantasy battle scenes it's the series that literally established the tropes, so be warned. Anyway, let's see:Most Discworld books by Terry Pratchett
Re: fantasy book suggestions
The dresden files books are good.

fantasy book suggestions
I just wanted to ask here, because I know that a lot of us are also very avid readers. I am looking for books that are either high fantasy, medieval fantasy, or urban fantasy, that don't have stupid amounts of gore, blood, and violence. I have noticed this trend
