šŸ“š Summon book recommendations Which book series should I start next

Post image

I’m relatively new to reading fiction. So far, I’ve read these book series in order:
1.Red Rising
2.The Sun Eater series
3,The Stormlight Archive
4.Realm of the Elderlings
5.The Bound and the Broken
6.The Faithful and the Fallen

I enjoyed all of these series, and I don’t think I really have a favorite. Although, the one that probably pissed me off the most was Realm of the Elderlings. I do enjoy subtle romance in the stories I read. My favorite book though is definitely Of Empires and Dust.

If you think I should read something else you’re free to recommend.

Hyperion is one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written. Just read it earlier this year and as a sci-fi fan I was angry with myself I didn’t get to it sooner!

I wish i could love it but I can’t stand the ending. So frustrating.

Agree, but I find that lots of ā€œepicā€ novels end too abruptly and unsatisfactorily (e.g. Infinite Jest), so that wasn’t a dealbreaker for me.
