I'm talking about finished books like Lord of the Rings and such. I felt like I'm reading too much AI translated webnovels that my mind has dulled, and I feel the need to supply it with some high quality deep fantasy stuff. It doesn't have to be that long or that good, but I want something you guys think is fun :blob_popcorn:

Thank you in advance to anyone who replies~

James Islington and Patrick Rothfuss are pretty nice. :)
Christopher Buehlmann has written a book that was an actual nice fresh breeze of air in the Genre.
And Antjony Ryan is also (mostly) great.

Tales of earthsea. Name of the wind.Wheel of time. Brandon Sanderson's mist born is a good starting place. Discworld - anything Terry pratchet is priceless. There's also contemporary fiction you could read like The Road. Game of thrones is a given. Sword of shannara, dune if you want sci-fi. Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.

You mean print? The first major arc (Book One though I didn't denote it as such) of Between Earth and Pyrroth wrapped about a month ago on Pocket FM, and immediately laucnhed into the second arc (in my head, the entire story was supposed to be three books long but it now will be four, two for each generation (Generation 1 Between Earth and Pyrroth, Book OneL The Lost Arch Mage. Book Two> Convergence. Gen 2: Book 1, real book 3 Between Earth and Pyrroth - The Destiny of Two, and finally Book Four: Between Earth and Pyrroth: The Legacy of Evil)

Check out my Leray Series if you wish. It was my first project at the time, so, series Infinite Misconception and onward felt a little better as I improved the skill over time, if you wanted to start there for some reason.

Why not? Let's all start from episode 4 😅

The Brimstone Angels Series and Books of the Usurper Cycle both by Erin M. Evans are two series that I'd add to the set.
Empire of Exiles (Usurper Book 1) was so good I literally couldn't put it down.
I'll also submit The Ranger's Apprentice by John Flannagan to the list as well, alongside all of the other great suggestions (that other folks beat me to mentioning).

I go in with something niche. I loved reading the Kate-Daniels-Series by Ilona Andrews.
The characters are goated, the lore has a steady foundation, and the romantic subplot is slow-burning and believable.
