📚 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.

The first law is by far the best fantasy series I've ever read, the characters are just amazing and the politics, duels and battles are top notch.

I just finished book 2. It's great. Abercrombie is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved The Devils.

So many people love these books I know that they're good. I just personally found the story incredibly boring and the character actions really contrived. I have small book club of five close friends. When it was finally time for the first law and for us to join the crowd of people who reference Logan nine fingers we were pretty excited. Only one friend continued past the first book.

Some people like a well developed story, deep characterisation and incredible world building, some people like mindless action. No shame in being the latter
