Is anyone else interested in books about paladins? I can't seem to find any.

• Saint of steel series by kingfisher - this is close, but they're paladins of a dead god.
• Deed of paksenarrion - this is about someone becoming a paladin, not being one
• Paladin of souls - this is much more about a priest or spiritualist than what i consider a paladin
• Michael from the Dresden files would qualify, but obviously he's not the main character.
• Priest by matt colville has an awesome order of paladins, but again not the focus

It seems to me like there's obviously space for some books about a paladin (or even an order of them) that fight for their god to vanquish evil or at least an opposing god. Where are they?

Hi all, I, like everyone and their mothers, have just watched Nolan's Odyssey adaptation and now I'm in the mood for Ancient Greece-inspired fantasy. Either actually set in Ancient Greece or in a setting inspired by Ancient Greece. Not looking for myth retellings, which I know will narrow it down quite a bit.

Examples of the kind of books I'm looking for are the Queen's Thief novels and AJ Demas' novels.

I’ve just started reading the third book, The Light of All That Falls, after finishing the first two books - The Shadow of What Was Lost and An Echo of Things to Come.

While reading the recap at the beginning of the third book, I realised that I had completely missed or forgotten so many important details from the first two books. Now I’m reading the recap and thinking, “Wait, when did this happen?”

I usually enjoy complex fantasy, but I found The Licanius Trilogy really confusing at times. The plot, timelines, characters and all the twists can be difficult to keep track of.

I’ve also read the first two books of Islington’s The Hierarchy series, and I honestly think they are better written. Maybe because The Licanius Trilogy was his first series, he was still figuring out how to handle and organise so many details. It feels like his writing and storytelling improved a lot in The Hierarchy.

So, is it just me being dumb, or did anyone else find the first two books confusing as well?

I loved the stories from One Thousand and One Nights and the Aladdin movie. Now I want to read more books with a similar setting. Djinns, flying carpets, desert nights.

Here are some books I really enjoyed:

• Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
• Sands of Arawiya by Hafsah Faizal
• The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty
• The Sandsea Trilogy by Chelsea Abdullah
• This Woven Kingdom by Tahareh Mafi
• The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

The most important thing is the setting. It can have political intrigues like City of Brass or be more adventurous like Rebel of the Sands. It can be YA or high fantasy. Lighthearted or very dark. With or without romance. High or low magic. New series or old, obscure novels. Basically everything that captures the feeling of 1001 Nights.

What books can you recommend?

I’ve been wondering what fantasy books feel the most “Soulslike.” Not necessarily books that directly inspired the games (though those are welcome too), but books that capture a very similar atmosphere, vibe, aesthetic and feeling. I’m caught up with Berserk for manga which I know influenced Dark Souls a lot, but is there any for novels too? So far I have also consistently heard of Book of the New Sun which is in my list of books to read

Picked this up off a recent booktuber recommendation, and decided to give it a shot between the To Green Angel Tower books, and it turned out to be a perfect choice.

The book follows Lukan Gardova, the son of a formerly great and wealthy house, brought to ruin in part because of Lukan accidentally killing a prince during a duel. Lukan is a bit of an idiot, quick to mouth off at the worst times, but is still a genuinely solid character. When his father is murdered, Lukan is sent to the merchant city of Saphrona to hunt down the mysterious Zandrosa - though he has no clue who or what that is. In his search, Lukan gets pulled into a great conspiracy, and has to manage to save himself as well as some friends made along the way.

The city of Saphrona is fantastic and well realized, full of both barbaric customs of the past and idealistic progression towards a better future. Through his journey, Lukan will see prisoners put up against horrific monsters, break into prisons that nobody escapes from, and contend with monsters thought to be fantasy.

He quickly meets the young pickpocket Flea, and their budding friendship is easily my favorite part of the book. The two made me laugh constantly, and as the story goes on and the stakes get higher, their genuine concern for one another lent the book a lot of emotional weight.

I will say for a book I see touted as a swashbuckling adventure, with a hero touted for his skill with the sword, there wasn't a whole lot of actual sword fighting, or honestly fighting in general, but the adventure was there in spades, and I was more than satisfied and fully intend to read book two when I get a chance.

For now, I'm taking a quick diversion into another Cradle book before I return to finish Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.

As an English teacher who mostly works with 6th graders, I quite like Middle Grade Fantasy and think that they get overlooked and undervalued in the genre fiction world. However, novellas aren’t particularly common in the middle grade space, which made it hard to find a good fit if I truly wanted to have a novella themed r/fantasy bingo card, which requires a middle grade book this year. I decided to go with something a bit sillier and younger than I’d normally read in this space; Gumluck is more targeted at 8-9 year-olds than 11-12, and I think it would probably make a great bedtime storybook for kids even younger than 8.

Read If Looking For: sassy ravens, technically compliant wishes, telling the truth isn’t always the right move 

Avoid If You Dislike: goofiness, egregious misunderstandings, lovable loners 

Does it Bingo?  The Afterlife (HM), Middle Grade, Also this one probably fits older protagonist? Gumluck implies he was significantly older at one point but uses magic to keep himself in a child’s body.

I don't think it fits nonhuman protagonist; our narrator is the raven, but Gumluck is the protagonist.

To the other reviews in this readathon, see my announcement post.

Elevator Pitch:
Gumluck is the Very Small Wizard who Lives in a Very Big Hill. The villagers ask him for help, but never say hello or thank you. Gumluck accidentally knocks over the raven Helvetica’s nest, sparking the start of a long friendship and many silly adventures for the series to follow. In this book, Gumluck wants to become the Harvest Hero, a prize given to the most helpful villager - who conveniently has been the crown prince for the past two decades. However, he doesn't realize the villagers look down on him, but he will press on to try and help as many people as he possibly can.

What Worked for Me
 This book had enough humor in it that I enjoyed my time with Gumluck. At first the over-the-top characters and bumbling attitudes annoyed me. However, the farcical vibes were tempered by the dry humor of Helvetica. Without her as our narrator, I think I would have strongly disliked this book. As it stands, she provides good tonal breaks with her dry wit and lovable grumpiness. Is she kind of a stereotypical character? Yes, she is. But I'm a sucker for people who point out the obvious and have no time of other people's quiet niceties, so her bluntness really endeared me to her. She also served as a good mouthpiece to get at various themes for kids who developmentally are still working on inference and abstract concepts.

I also feel like this is a book that will be great for developmentally typical kids in the 3rd grade range. Yes, some people were reading Wheel of Time at that age, but Gumluck is a much more appropriate book for the average kid that age into fantasy. There’s conflict without it being violent. There’s some social skills instruction without it feeling over explained. It's not going to give them nightmares or close enough to reality for them to start overlapping the two. The book has lots of cute illustrations that keep developing readers interest as they bridge into chapter books. Also Helvetica (whom I love dearly), again makes for a great narrator during a read aloud, since gives the story the vibe of an oral tale already, making it a great fit for parents and kids still learning to read.

What Didn’t Work for Me
The biggest strike against this book is that I’m not the target audience for it. It was enjoyable enough, but not one that is going to appeal more broadly to adult audiences or kids who  feel they’ve outgrown ‘books for little kids’. It’s got less edge to it than a Disney Movie, and that tone would have grated on me had I chosen to pick up the sequel. I won't buy a copy for my classroom, as even my low readers are going to bounce off this pretty hard. I will, however, consider giving it as a gift to my friends who are new parents.

Conclusion: most adults won’t enjoy this unless they’re reading it with their kids. However, it’s the type of story I’d have wanted my mom to read to me

Novella Bingo Card
I plan on having a novella-themed bingo card this year. I originally mood read and slotted in choices, but at this point I'm close enough that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still won't read something just for the bingo card (other than the middle grade square), but I can taste a finished card! Here's where I stand so far 

I'm not looking for the biggest plot twist or surprise ending.

I'm thinking about those moments where you suddenly realise the world, history, or conflict is much bigger than you first believed, but in hindsight all the clues were there if you knew where to look and what you were looking at.

Which book did this best for you?

More importantly, what made it satisfying rather than feeling like it came out of nowhere?

Cook mentioned Last Metal Romance (and a potential second new Garrett novel, Deadly Diamond Daydreams) in that bombshell April 2024 interview with Black Gate that also announced the whole Pitiless Rain/Orphans' Tale Black Company sequel series, though at the time there wasn't any progress on the horizon and he seemed pretty frustrated with the process.

But good news! A deal was announced on Publishers Marketplace in early July:

Glen Cook's LAST METAL ROMANCE, the latest installment in the author's Garrett, P. I. fantasy-noir series, to Shahid Mahmud at Arc Manor, in a nice deal, for publication in May 2027, by Russell Galen at Scovil Galen Ghosh Literary Agency (world).

Arc Manor Publishing also featured it as a forthcoming title in their Spring 2026 catalog, with a logline:

Garrett P.I. has seen it all, but then a routine job spirals into a deadly conspiracy. As a violent sect rises and the city teeters on collapse, Garrett must uncover why everyone wants this mysterious girl dead—before politics and bloodshed tear the city apart.

Super exciting for Cook fans. It's been over a decade since the last Garrett book!

as the name implies, I’ve come across this series in my local bookstore and it looks cool, was wondering if this is worth picking up and what other people think of it.

This second collaboration of Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms (under the combined pen name of M.A. Carrick) is very different from their absolutely fantastic Rook & Rose trilogy. That one I think of as Scott Lynch + Zorro + a metric ton of flirtations and sexual tension. This is much darker, and much more serious: it’s set in a reimagined late 16th/early 17th century Spain, where not only are the Spanish colonizing the New World, they are also colonizing the Sea Beyond: the faerie seas one can reach by sailing through the Straight of Gibraltar Pillars of Hercules under the right astrological conditions (with a few other restrictions as well).

The story begins with a Spanish noblewoman, having just given birth to (yet another) daughter, confiding in her friend, a tree spirit. Her husband has threatened to kill the child if it was another girl, and not the son he wants. The tree spirit offers a suggestion: leave the girl with the faerie grove, unbaptized, and the spirit of the tree can take the form of a boy child and take her place. The mother won’t get to raise her youngest daughter, but she’ll be safe; and the tree spirit will use his disguise to investigate the Spanish and learn how they’re subjugating his brethren from the Sea Beyond.

This is a story with two co-protagonists. First is the tree spirit, now a boy called Estevan making his way through Catholic Spain, trying to avoid drawing the ire of either his father or the ever-alert Inquisition (in this conception as watchful for fae influence as they are for insincere Muslim or Jewish converts or Protestant heretics). His goal is the royal Council of the Sea Beyond, overseeing the conquest of the fae, their baptism (or elimination), and the theft of their wealth & power - and the secrets behind how they’re doing it.

The other is the girl, who (how is unclear) made her way from the faerie grove into the company of the faeries of the Sea Beyond. She is known only as the Hungry Girl - the fae are immortal, and wherever she’s been they keep forgetting that mortals need to eat every single day. More than once even! She has heard many stories of the dreaded Conquistadors, with their strange ships made of dead trees and their weapons and armor of deadly iron. When she finally meets some Spaniards, she’s relieved they are merchants looking for trade, not conquest - and listens eagerly when their captain tells her that she needs to return to the mortal lands to get baptized, lest she burn in Hell for all eternity. That doesn’t sound good at all, so the Hungry Girl is very eager for this “baptism” thing.

My bet is that Alyc did the writing for the Hungry Girl, and Marie Estevan. I look forward to finding out if I’m right.

This is a pretty dark story all told. The European conquest of the Americas was absolutely brutal, and the actions of the Spanish in the Sea Beyond are on par with the real world history. And this is also the era shortly after the Reconquista, when both Muslims (who had ruled the Iberian peninsula) and Jews (who had been tolerated and flourished under Muslim rule) had to convert or die - and if they chose to convert, were persecuted by the Inquisition for generations after. None of that is glossed over.

I expected something great out of Brennan & Helms, and while this wasn’t what I was expecting, it is certainly something great. Very eager for #2.

Bingo categories: Trans or Nonbinary Protagonist - technically, because the nonbinary character is a tree spirit and the rules say “not an alien or a robot,” but is very much not in the spirit of the square. But if you’re going to count it it would be [Hard Mode]; Unusual Transportation [Hard Mode]; Older Protagonist; Duology Part 1; Published in 2026; Non-Human Protagonist; Cat Squasher; Politics and Court Intrigue

My blog

I know her from Doom Patrol and the Tarot world, but recently learned she has multiple award-winning fantasy novels. Has anyone read them? Are they worth reading?

I'm using an e-reader (not sure if that matters given this novel has branching choices)

I'm in a chapter called Serendipity. At the end of the chapter there is only choice. I didn't love that choice so I thought you could just turn to the next page, but that takes me to another chapter which doesn't make sense at all it jumps into the middle of a poker game and thus far there has been absolutely zero mention of poker. So is there only choice for this chapter?

I have a literature degree, I read a lot ( r/52book ) and I've read all the classics, all the usual stuff in fantasy and sci fi, plus a lot of horror. I adore GRRM, Abercrombie, Hobb, the usual suspects.

I've been branching out and trying to read more women and POC telling different kinds of stories. I recently finished *The Fifth Season* and really enjoyed it. I'm waiting on *Dark Age* from the library. I just DNFd *When the Moon Hatched* yesterday, about 3 hours in. My favorite from the last few years has been Cadwell Turnbull's Convergence trilogy. I have the first two books of Malazan and will read that eventually.

Also, I've seen lists that include Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire as top rated dark fantasy, but I dont recall seeing it recommended here. Is it worth reading?

TIA.

Hi all! I’m J.R. Dawson, and I’m a Nebula, Hugo, and Sturgeon finalist for my short story, “Six People to Revise You”. My first book from Tor, THE FIRST BRIGHT THING, won two Golden Crown Awards. And today, THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD is out in paperback from Tor!

I also teach at Drexel University’s MFA program and The Loft Literary Center. I’ve got more short stories in places like Uncanny, Reactor, F&SF, Lightspeed, and more.

I’m a dog mom, a bad cook, and a big fan of animation. AMA!

Most of the time in fantasy if there is a sport, we the readers, get introduced to it alongside the main character. I'm looking for the opposite, where the POV character is already well-versed in the sport, and doesn't pause the narrative to explain what's going on. I'm primarily intrested in books where we follow an athlete but it can be anyone who understands the sport.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, im looking for fantasy book recommendations with:

- A morally grey or grimdark atmosphere

- A male protagonist (or predominantly male POV)

- A romance subplot that feels natural and meaningful, rather than being the main focus (but can be like 49% of the book lol)

- Strong worldbuilding, preferably in a medieval fantasy setting

Most of the books I've found with these elements were centered on female protagonists or female POVs. While I've enjoyed some of them, I'm hoping to find something I can relate to more through a male lead.

As a point of reference, one thing I really enjoyed in Baldur's Gate 3 was the dynamic with characters like Shadowheart: people who initially seem guarded, cynical, or morally ambiguous, but gradually reveal a more vulnerable side. I'd love to see a similar kind of character development and relationship in a fantasy novel.

Bonus points for complex characters. Political intrigue, and dark themes withoutbbeing relentlessly bleak.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Also, i dont mind extreme violence, graphic content, explicit sexual content, or other mature themes, so feel free to recommend books without worrying about that.

I absolutely loved The Blacktongue Thief and The Daughters’ War. I cant wait for The Thrice-Bound Fool! I’m really hoping Christopher Buehlman eventually publishes the card game Towers as a real, playable game. He replied to a post a year back, saying he has a prototype in the works and is playtesting.

Christopher Buehlman, if you're reading this, I would love to play a round with you!

Until then, I've been trying to recreate Towers at home. I’ve played around with the game mechanics and rules, but there are so many ambiguities that I don’t think the text alone answers them.

I put together a list of questions/possible rules gaps. I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and interpretations:

Gameplay

• Do players take turns placing one card at a time, or can you place multiple cards at once?
• Can Thief, Archer, and Death cards be played immediately as out-of-turn reactions?
• Can the Queen be used as a reaction to the Traitor or does she draw it out?

Card Questions

Archer

• Is the Archer the only offensive weapon in the game?
• Does the Archer have a single use and then become dormant?

Archer / Sapper / Thief

• Do these cards perform one action and then become inactive, or do they continue acting each turn until defeated?

Soldier

• Is the Soldier basically a disposable shield?
• Can it be played preemptively to block future attacks, or as a reaction?
• Can a Soldier defend against a Sapper?

Sapper

• If Sappers can only steal honey from a destroyed/downed Tower, why would anyone ever choose to silo honey inside a Tower?

Tower Silo Rules

• A card hidden under a Tower is protected from Archers. If a Sapper destroys the Tower, the hidden card is revealed.
• Can the player voluntarily reveal a siloed card?
• If the card is never revealed, does it still count/bank somehow?
• Can Death be banked by hiding in a silo, from a tourney round to the war round? How else does death get banked without being revealed?

Feeding / Resource Timing

• Can I play Masters together with their required honey/coin, or do I need to spend a turn placing resources first? Can I play resources after the master?
• Do resources remain on the table and apply to any future Master played?

I’m sure some of this may have obvious answers but I’m curious how everyone else interpreted the rules.

Would love to hear your house rules or any clarifications you’ve come up with!

Clink-clink

Sofia Samatar has been on my reading list for a long time. I always figured I’d start with The Winged Histories, but this novella kept getting rave reviews, and I love a school/academia setting. I knew this story dealt with class displacement from the chatter, but I wasn’t prepared for how sharply Samatar wields the pen … or perhaps keyboard. This is yet another author that I have now committed to reading more of; I wanted this project to lessen my TBR, but it has in fact done the exact opposite. 

Read If Looking For: thematically dense stories, nuanced yet archetypical characters, the pointlessness of meetings and committees

Avoid If Looking For: plot heavy books, tidy endings, school settings featuring classroom scenes, happy vibes

Does it Bingo? Judge a Book by its Title, Book Club (2025 Hugo Readalong), and Author of Color

To the other reviews in this readathon, see my announcement post.

Elevator Pitch:
The Fleet travels from mining site to mining site, remaining for generations before making a long journey to a new source of resources. The boy is one of the Chained, laboring in the darkness beneath, and the professor is one of the ankleted, a sort of middle working class. Some of her friends don’t bear any fetters at all. The professor brings the boy out of the darkness, 'liberating' him to her class and installing him as a student at her university. It does not go as smoothly as she'd like. As the two grapple with the chains they bear, they both realize they have much more to learn.

This is a bad description for the book, and I offer my apologies

What Worked for Me
This novella is not subtle about its themes, but neither is it preachy or didactic. I think Samatar does a great job of layering meaning into the story, asking the reader to consider the situations of the characters, but she never quite steps out of the story to speak directly to the reader. At its most obvious is the focus on class differences. Notably, the professor sees herself as having saved the boy. He perceives himself as having lost all connections to his culture and his people, even though his physical situation is better than as a slave-laborer below. He is expected to be grateful, but he finds himself unmoored because the Chained built a cultural identity and community; the boy has become an island. Meanwhile the professor ends up reckoning with her own place in the system, passed over for papers and promotions and fighting for any scraps of recognition from the unfettered elite. However, her position of power over another group gives her a sense of artificial freedom. This freedom becomes threatened as she realizes the inadequacy of her own 'help,' but pushing further goes beyond the bounds of what has been deemed acceptable by those above her in the hierarchy. There are some layers introduced early that get peeled back beautifully during the second half of the novella, a really excellent use of foreshadowing. 

The earliest, and most obvious, tell to get the reader thinking, is that the Chained and those with indigo anklets never get named. Only those without any fetters at all receive names in this book, a not-so-subtle nod to whom society sees as human, and who is a faceless cog in the machine. This comes to a head beautifully when Gil, the professor’s coworker, who considers her a dear friend, unleashes an angry tirade that shows that even his own support and bonding with the professor end when she does not act in accordance with his wishes. It is only in this moment that the professor’s relationship with the boy begins to truly shift to something akin to equals. Until she acknowledges her own enslavement, she cannot see how she enslaves others. 

In a really phenomenal interview (you should go read it alongside this Novella. I sort of wish I’d read it before, to be honest), Samatar talks about how this book was born from the murder of George Flyod at the hands of Minneapolis Police, and the sudden flowering of DEI work at colleges. She says “I was interested in this sort of central contradiction of diversity work, which is something that is almost posed against itself, to the extent that the formation of the committee is the work.” I hadn’t made this overt connection while reading the book, but it’s the type of really successful allegory that only speculative fiction can execute. By divorcing an idea so much from its realistic particulars, you’re able to strike at the heart of a topic in interesting and novel ways. It’s part of the beauty of this genre, and few authors succeed at bridging two worlds as successfully as Samatar did. 

This book is going to resonate most with readers who like to engage with these deeper meanings. The worldbuilding and characters and plot are all skillfully executed, but ultimately in service to getting you to contemplate and reflect. While the chains and anklets are objectively horrific, they also become ingrained cultural elements for the community, symbols built from their communal experiences. Samatar seeks to go beyond 'chain bad' and push the reader to go deeper than the surface level understanding of oppression that is more common in speculative fiction. It’s a much more nuanced take than most Dystopian explorations of classism manage to achieve. 

What Didn’t Work for Me
There’s nothing about this novella that I can say is bad or poorly done. I truly think that it executed vision flawlessly, down to an ambiguous ending that is likely the bright spot before something truly horrible happens. The worst I can say about it is that I think it’s going to fade from my memory, whereas my favorites tend to linger in my brain. There aren’t any substantive or meaningful complaints from me though, and I thought this is the type of novella I’d like to continue to see get Hugo nominations. 

Conclusion: a theme heavy exploration of classism in academic institutions, melded with a science fiction slave narrative
