Hey ya’ll! This is the first book of by far my favorite series in existence. I seriously recommend getting the free book on May 4th. This series (The Stormlight Archives) is by far the most epic epic fantasy I have ever laid eyes on. If you like:
- Phenomenal, original worldbuilding not based on medieval Europe
- An incredible magic system unlike anything you’ve ever seen
- Amazing, diverse, awesome characters that will make you laugh and cry for days
- Crabs
- Tons of fantastic female characters
- Giant anime swords that can cut through anything
- Character development for days
- Probably the best representation of depression and other mental illnesses out there
- So much philosophy? All intertwined in the story and when you read the characters coming to realize these things, it’s chilling and beautiful
- infinite meme material
- No sex scenes
Also, most of Brandon Sanderson’s adult works are part of a vast, interconnected universe with worldhopping characters (though each story can be enjoyed on it’s own without reading the others to understand the behind the scenes stuff) and this huge superplot going on that is this giant mystery you piece together while reading it.
I seriously cannot express how much I love these books, and I hope ya’ll take this great opportunity to check them out.
It’s not based on medieval Europe? I thought the whole rationale behind Shardplate was “knights are cool.” And their feudalism seems pretty Western European too, but I guess that kind of structure could have come from anywhere. Or do you just mean that the characters aren’t white?
