logical plane but it would have been interesting if we could have had more conversations between Steve and Carolyn when they had begun to finally understand each other.
—On that note, Steve’s complexity as a character felt a little flattened towards the ending. Maybe people like Carolyn and Father discussing Steve as a person cannot be in any way other than flat and 2D because of the aforementioned not-understanding thing, or maybe the complexity at which they have begun to operate at is simply beyond any mere mortal’s but... A little more something to the end of his arc could make the bow tie up tighter and redder.
—Some conversations, while believably written, can be a little too long and languish in confusion of characters while refusing any worthwhile information to the reader. Yes, this makes the mystery of the plot gain an edge but sometimes it’s a little overdone. Just sometimes, though.
—Too. Much. Gratituous. Mention. Of. >!Butt-Fucking (and things of adjacent nature).!< Like it gets to a point. 😭😭
Anyway, those were my little, itty-bitty gripes. But please, if you’re a fan of this genre of books, do yourself a favour and read this. It’s fun, dark, clever and amazingly weeeeeeird. If you’ve read it, I would love to hear your thoughts, too!

Tyrant Philosophers
IMHO The Tyrant Philosophers series is one of the most slept on Fantasy series of all time. INCREDIBLE WORLD BUILDING!!! Top tier prose (not as flowery as Kingkiller but i would argue almost as good). Some really interesting characters. And so far (i have not yet read book 4) it has maintained an excellent level of quality. It manages somehow to be grimdark and comedic. I haven't read much else from Tchaikovsky. (Only shards of earth) but this series alone has rocketed him to one of my favourite authors.

Question about ASOIAF, Gentlemen bastards, and kingkiller chronicles.
So I wanted to get on here and ask about these three series. I have heard them called the holy trinity of unfinished books. I am constantly finding these recommended to people despite them being unfinished. I haven't read any of them for the main reason they are unfinished.
I really just wanted to ask, for those who know, what are the creative obstacles each author has run into when it comes to finishing their respective series? Is each author in a pretty similar situation as the other, or are they all facing unique challenges? And do you see any of these actually being finished?
Also, do you recommend reading them even though they aren't finished?

I cannot believe it took me this long to find and read Le Guin’s Earthsea cycle.
I’m pushing 40 and I am a very proud nerd and have been all my life. The Harry Potter series hit me at the exact right time in my life to be probably THE most formative books of my teenage years (and it continually makes me sad that the author turned out to be a bucket of turds). LOTR to this day occupies a very important place in my relationship with my partner. He recommended Robin Hobb to me about a decade ago and I burned through her stuff and loved it.
I kept seeing Earthsea come up in other people’s discussions about what to read next, so I put the six-book mega-volume on hold at our library. It took like four months to come in (understandable when I saw the thickness of the tome and the teeny text inside).
I JUST finished The Other Wind about twenty minutes ago. I am emotionally wrung out. This series hit me so hard as a woman, as a mom, as a teacher. I can’t believe how relevant it still is, and IMO the prose in it is only second to Tolkien. The world just seemed so vast and beautiful. The characters felt like friends. And I was astonished to find that the books, especially the later ones, center older adults in main roles. I’m not elderly but I’m also not young any more; reading these made me feel like, “Hey, that’s me.” Gave me a chance to see myself in the protagonists again, which I haven’t done in a good long time.
I’m going to have to take a break before I start another book because… how can you follow that?!
If you’ve been thinking about reading the Earthsea cycle, please take this as a sign.
(And please, good people of Reddit, if you know of anything that can fill this new hole in my heart, drop the rec!)

Lies of Locke Lamora was excellent in terms of set-up, but frustrating in pay-off
This book is fun, funny, and at times quite emotionally compelling. It has a fairly straightforward but gripping plot, and the author does an excellent job of setting up scenarios where the characters are put into impossible situations with no way out.
As much as this makes the book a page-turner, I think it also results in some pretty unsatisfying moments. Spoilers ahead:
We are constantly told of how smart and clever Locke is, and so when he is backed into a corner, we expect him to use his wits to get out of these binds. And yet time and time again, the resolution to these set-ups is either a product of something out of Locke's control, or is the simplest, least clever solution. There are at least three examples that come to mind:
>!When the Capa arranges a marriage between Locke and his daughter, we expect Locke to have to figure out a way to wriggle out without having his secret stash revealed. Instead of Locke coming up with a solution, he is let off the hook when Nazca is killed!<
>!When Vorchenza and the Salvaras spring a trap on Locke at Raven's Reach, Locke doesn't know it. He walks into a tower hundreds of feet in the air where there is no escape, and is poisoned. How does he survive? He punches Vorchenza, snatches the antidote which is handily right there, and jumps out a window.!<
>!When Locke and Jean are trapped by the Falconer, an all powerful wizard who can control characters just by writing their names down, Locke has to deal with not only fighting off Jean, whose mind is controlled, but also the scorpion hawk who can kill individuals instantly. He survives because the Falconer got his name wrong!<
In all three of these examples, Locke's narrow escapes are not real demonstrations of his quick thinking or cleverness. I guess maybe you could argue he exploits mistakes made by his opponents, but to me, this feels cheap. It deflates the tension of the book, and weakens an otherwise great character. It's also a shame because there are plenty of other examples of the book succeeding on this front. I thought the chapter where Locke steals the banker's clothes was fantastic and a great display of planning on the fly, only for this too to be a disappointment when the banker recognizes Locke at Raven's Reach.
Altogether, I think Scott Lynch is excellent at writing set ups that feel organic and perilous, but falls flat in writing resolutions to those set ups. It's a bit of an impossible task though, because on the one hand, we want our heroes to succeed, but on the other, we don't want those victories to feel cheap. So, is it more satisfying as a reader to have a character narrowly escape an impossible set up? Or, if the writer can't find an answer to an impossible set up, should that set up be rewritten? What are some series/books where main characters face appropriate consequences for their mistakes?

The Poet Empress - Shen Tao - Review
This is a solid debut by Chinese-Canadian author Shen Tao. Entertaining, well crafted, visually interesting world. It tells the story of a peasant girl who becomes concubine of the Emperor's Heir, a vicious, violent Prince who uses his magic to cause pain. How can she save the Empire from him.
One of the reasons I wanted to review this book is because on it's cover it is being comped as being RL Kuang v Madeline Miller and I don't think that is an accurate representation. Subject matter wise, yes there is a comparison to the The Poppy Wars*, but vibes wise it feels completely different. I feel like the audience for this are people taking the next step moving from YA to Adult Fantasy. So I would put it more with ML Wang, Leigh Bardugo and Shelly Parker-Chan.
I think the book had a very strong start and very strong ending I think the middle was 90% but I had a few micro-bumps as it went along. There were some small inconsistencies with the characterisation in that mid part. Where I found myself feeling like the MC had not earned certain things. Where her emotional reactions were not as vivid as I would have liked. I also really enjoyed the visuals in the start and the end, but it felt as if these were forgotten in the middle part of the book. But a strong plot allowed me to ignore those little irritations and keep going to the satisfying ending. For me it lacked the *sparkle sparkle* that elevates a book to a five star, but it was the sort of good solid escapism that merits a four star.
* I don't hate The Poppy Wars btw, it's just the wrong comp for this book.

RPGs’ influence on fantasy fiction?
Hello all, after some years mostly enjoying anime for my fantasy fix, I return to reading fantasy novels (mostly ones initially written in English). A trend I see in recent fantasy anime is the use of RPG or game mechanics and settings: dungeons to explore and clear, “leveling up”, system dialogue boxes, etc. I am curious if you see a similar trend in recent written fantasy (say 10+ years?). If not, what trends *do* you see in recent fantasy works?
I will recommend the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Delicious in Dungeon for offering fresh takes on the RPG fantasy sub-genre.

Happy Valentine's Day! What's the best exploration of love or romance you've ever read in a fantasy novel, and why?
For me, nothing compares to The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. There's something so unique about the way the connection between the main characters underpins the entire novel without quite being the focus of it. It's not the whole plot, but it is more or less the point. Does that make sense? As we learn: "This is a love story to the blade-dented bone."
Jimenez takes a narrative fraught with violence and terror and challenges the characters within it to actively resist succumbing to those forces. Love becomes a driving force of the story, but it's not some superfluous thing that magically makes it all better. It's a choice the characters make, towards themselves and one another, despite the circumstances. I could talk forever about this, but I just genuinely think it's really cool to see a fantasy author exploring love, belonging, and intention with such detail and care. I've never read anything quite like it.

I hate when the protagonist is so dumb for the sake of dragging it out
I'm reading this book, and the big evil guy basically has shadow superpower (or he is shadow itself), and he has been terribly hurt before. We know this through the protagonist. Then the protagonist went to an old prison with only one jail cell and found a journal that says "the prisoner keeps screaming", "they tortured him with light" and "he likes the dark". And still the MC was asking himself "What were they keeping down here? hmm."
Why do authors love dragging stuff out? Just let him think "So this was what they do to him". That's it. Why make him seem so dumb just to prolong the mystery for another 2 pages?
Edit: I'm enjoying this trilogy, and this is the last book. But the more you read, the more you get annoyed with stuff.

The Library at Mount Char: A very gripping and absurd read.
I had this in my TBR for a long while and finally picked it up two days ago. Started it, read the first chapter, and kept reading and reading till I had to finally sleep. Two days later, I’m basking in the afterglow of having read a book that hits just right.
Thing is, while this book came highly recommended to me and I enjoyed it thoroughly, I do have my nitpicks even as I was reading the book. But let me get the positives out of the way (this is besides the obvious: well written, decently characterised, tightly plotted, believable dialogue):
This book rewards you with ample foreshadowing and trails to follow if you pay attention. I’m someone who likes to bookmark and theorise along the way, and pounce on any clues, so while some of the reveals didn’t come off as surprising (and I think most of them weren’t meant to be; beyond a certain point that is), they did unfold satisfactorily.
The humor in this can be very laugh-out-loud at times, and really lighten up the mood in what can otherwise be a very dark read. It’s still fucked-up humor but some of it is also quite pleasantly dry and straightforward.
The POVs are diverse and uniquely laid out, which I loved, and the book takes the time to build characters that usually would not get much significance in another more conventionally told story.
There is a lot of nuance (both well-delivered and well-attempted) for the characters and their decisions, mostly concerning the main character, Carolyn, Father, and David. Morality isn’t tethered to the human perception of it and the book does try to probe at the philosophical implications of it, somewhat. The main character kind of reminded me of the MC of Blood Over Bright Haven, in terms of the broadstrokes of their characterisations and also plot-related actions but the latter I read a couple years ago, so it’s a fuzzy comparison.
In general, now that I have read it, I would recommend this book to basically everyone who wants a weird, fast-paced, uniquely written fantasy with some very dark elements that can be thrown in rather offhandedly at times, and more seriously at others.
That said—minor points that didn’t quite work for me but didn’t ruin my immersion/enjoyment of the book either (warning for MAJOR spoilers):
—The Librarians aside from Carolyn, David, Michael, Jennifer and Margaret can feel woefully underdeveloped. There was so little mention of Jacob that at one point I was convinced that Steve was the twelfth Librarian—a sleeper agent of sorts—because I could not recall Jacob being mentioned. Point is, I understand that some catalogs were perhaps not as impressive or powerful and that the cast of characters could become way too bloated, but a little more attention to them and their demise would have been appreciated.
—The ending can be a little dissatisfactory. For me, it was the fact that everything Father did, Carolyn repeated inevitably, even when the aim was to break away from the system created, or so I thought. Father had his two friends in service of him, the tiger and the child. The child was the Sun. Carolyn ended up with Michael at her side (Nobununga’s apprentice) and Steve as her Sun (the one who showed compassion to the prior Sun). The connections were built and modeling of Carolyn’s ending is not much different than Father’s. Maybe that’s the point. Yes, she gets rid of her heart coal, but what then was the difference between how Father lived and she lived that the book offers? Maybe her recruiting Erwin is her step towards meaningful friendships outside the courtiers of the very, very powerful that Father kept, but Carolyn is as self-isolating as Father, apparently. Maybe it’s simply that she quit while she was ahead, before she had emptied herself completely. But personally, I would have loved to see a bit more marrow on this philosophical bone. Infact, I loved the framing and setting of it, of Steve and Carolyn possibly butting heads with wholly different ideologies and life experiences. Yes, she operates on a different
Books where the villain wins?
I want to find a book/series thats follows a hero but in the end the villain wins regardless. I'm tired of reading about a hero going up against essentially a god and somehow finding a way to kill said god when it seemed impossible. I'm not looking for pov of the villain either I want to read about the hero failing their task.

I wish fantasy series had "Previously On" recaps like TV shows
Just picked up the third book in a series I started last year and I am completely lost. I remember the broad strokes but all the details are gone. Who betrayed who? What was the magic system again? Why are they going to this city?
TV shows figured this out ages ago. You get a quick 30 second recap before each episode and you're caught up. But with books, especially long fantasy series with months or years between entries, you're just expected to remember everything. Some authors put a summary at the start which is amazing, but most don't.
I've started keeping a notes doc for each series but honestly it takes the fun out of it. Reading shouldn't feel like studying for an exam. How do you guys manage this, especially with longer series like Malazan or Stormlight?

How do Abercrombie fans rank 'The Devils' among his other books?
The Devils was the first book of his I read and while I enjoyed it somewhat, I can understand the criticism it gets. It feels like it was clearly written with the intention to make it into a blockbuster movie (and with Cameron already having announced to adapt it I think this has been the plan from the very beginning) like a fantasy version of Guardians of the Galaxy or Suicide Squad. All the jokes and quips felt exactly like that.There's nothing wrong with this (I know lots of people are disagreeing lol), but it did feel a bit shallow and predictable at times.
I guess I might watch the movie nevertheless. It will be fun popcorn entertainment for sure.
Comparing The Devils to my favourite fantasy works like e.g. Tad Williams' Osten Ard books, it's obviously in a completely different league. I'm sure The Devils (and its sequels, as it seems ther will be some) won't end up in my top favourites list, not even close.
On the other hand I kind of liked Abercrombie's style but maybe it will work better for me with a story that doesn't scream Hollywood at me on every page. So how about Abercrombie's other books?

Jam Reads: Sister Svangerd and the Not Quite Dead (The Loyal Opposition #1), by K.J. Parker (Review)
https://preview.redd.it/1j6b05uy2jjg1.jpg?width=1591&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4e2a3a89fac085d89072b7510cc17888b5a155f
Review originally on JamReads
Sister Svangerd and the Not Quite Dead is the first book in the newest fantasy trilogy written by K.J. Parker, The Loyal Opposition, published by Orbit Books. A story told with the classical cynicism that characterizes Parker's narrator characters, resulting in a fun novel that is not only great at examining almost any concept related to religion, power and history while demolishing them with an astonishing logic, but also managing to keep the reader engaged at all times.
Brother Desiderius and Sister Svangerd are both first-rate practitioners, doing the dirty work needed by the Church of the Invincible Sun. Their new mission: making a princess permanently disappear, taking the opportunity given the legendary Ecumenical Council; but the things become much more complicated once they discover how the Council is more akin to a nest of vipers than a reunion of pious men. A mission that escalates from a simple assassination to a theological debate that might threaten to create a schism, complicated by a small business with corpses that refuse to stay dead.
Brother Desiderius is kinda the classical lead that you could expect from a Parker book: really smart, tired and aware that how history is made is really different to how it is told. His sarcastic voice is the perfect one to tell this story, especially after the mission escalates into something bigger. Sister Svangerd is a bit the counterpart: proficient at wielding weapons, a hard believer in the Church's doctrine, but with a very practical way to see the world. Their friendship works pretty well, taking into account how they are basically the opposite.
The Ecumenical Council is the perfect setting for this kind of story: while in appearance is the reunion of the most pious and brilliant minds of the Church, a place for intellectualism, in reality hides a fight for power, for the destiny of the Church. It also serves as the perfect excuse for Brother Desiderius' examinations in religion and history, an atheist going over concepts to refute them with a dose of logic and cynicism, creating a dark philosophical tale in the process.
The pacing is quite on the spot, including certain action scenes that help to elevate the tension after some passages that are more dense.
Sister Svanger and the Not Quite Dead is a great way to kick-off the Loyal Opposition series, a perfect choice if you like your fantasy dark and sarcastic, but still want to have a ton of fun in the process.

Fantasy books with a protagonist like Fitz from the Farseer trilogy, but female?
To elaborate more on what I mean, Fitz’s introspection was my favourite part of the trilogy (I still have to read the rest of the instalments in the same universe). He can be a difficult character to like sometimes. He deeply hates himself and you can see how his poor self-esteem reflects on his relationship with his closest friends. Weirdly enough I really like that in a character.

REVIEW: A Forest, Darkly by A.G. Slatter
TL;DR: if you like a good story, dark and grim (but not so much so that it becomes bleak), adult fairy tales, and great writing, you should read this book.
A.G. (Angela) Slatter has become my all-time favorite writer. Most of her novels and short stories are in the Sourdough universe, something reminiscent of Europes High Middle Ages (but only roughly), where magic is a pervasive, but witches are also hunted down and killed. The magic wielders are almost always women, from the simple herbswoman to incredibly powerful witches. There are monsters aplenty. They'll be familiar to you, but in Sourdough, they all come with a twist.
Ms. Slatter started her writing career and the Sourdough universe with short stories, and she truly is a master of the craft of this genre. In 2021, she published her first full-length novel, All the Murmuring Bones, and essentially has published a novel a year (The Path of Thorns, The Briar Book of the Dead, The Crimson Road). You can gain entry into this world with any book. They are standalones, but they all are part of this wondrous world.
In A Forest, Darkly, Ms. Slatter tells the tale of a middle aged witch, Mehrab, who has long since grown tired of the world and has carved out an existence close (but not too close) to a village (big, but not big enough to have a church and its attendant witch-hunting priests). Her life is upturned when what basically is the Underground Railroad of Witches brought her a young witch to foster. Events then also happen in the village. Mehrab is crabby, wants to be left alone, but does she really?
The novel is a quick read, and I loved it because you really can revel in Sourdough. If you like books by Alix Harrow, T. Kingfisher, Sarah Beth Durst, Garth Nix, you would like A.G. Slatter (maybe even more than those other authors).
I hate that I read the book in a day, because now I have to wait for probably another year to get my fix. But now I'm onto Pretenders to the Throne of God, which is also a novel I anxiously awaited. But that's another review.
