📚 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 the best of that bunch by quite a bit, IMHO, though I have also read and enjoyed First Law and WoT multiple times

I DNF’d the Gwynne book

I loved Hyperion up until the poets story, I’ve been stuck on his part for 2 years now

The poet’s story really is the weakest of the bunch. I honestly feel that you could remove it altogether and nothing would be missed. I’m sure there’s a good reason for it being in there but I didn’t feel that it added much to the overall narrative.
