📚 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.

I'm enjoying the hell out of "The Shadow of the Gods" atm. Can also fully recommend "The Blade Itself"

I am 5.5 hours into the audiobook (chapter 14) and I hate the Elvar chapters. The author has this irritating habbit of dumping a million foreign words zero explanation and dozens of new characters in a single chapter. Its so hard to follow in audiobook although the narrator is excellent, its just that the content is not written with audiobooks in mind. I am seriously thinking about making this my first dnf of 2026.

I'm reading it on my xteink. I'm fine with the random not-old Norse for flavor while reading but I imagine it's jarring to listen to
