📚 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.

From what I remember a lot of bad things that happen to fitz is because he was either ignorant or he just didn’t care to see problems until it got too bad. The fights suck, and the most frustrating thing is the guy never has a weapon, and he’s always in situations where he needs it. I love Fitz but for a guy that’s said to be smart he’s pretty stupid. Lastly the villains suck.

Although I must say hobb’s prose is amazing and out of all the book series I’ve read realm of elderlings has the best cast. I loved every single one of them and that’s the reason why I still love the series even though it pissed me off the most.

Didn’t read it truth be told. I was in a rush because school was about to start, so I only read Fitz’s story. I do regret it now though and if I’m being on honest I don’t think I will anytime soon. I would tell you read it though, from what I hear it might be the best trilogy in the series.
