If you want historical fantasy, you should read Guy Gavriel Kay's stuff. I recommend starting with Tigana, Sailing to Sarantium, or the Lions of Al-Rassan. The thing is they don't have magic or fantasy creatures and stuff like that, so if you don't like that then maybe don't read it. His books are masterpieces though. And also the Grace of Kings, which you're going to read, I believe, is great. A bit odd, though, in its structure and the way it's written . . . you'll understand when you read it.
I very much enjoyed mame of the wind. There are definitely some great characters but nothing rich says is necessarily wrong. I just enjoy that slice of life feeling writing
How do you guys read so much? With all my other hobbies I find it so hard to make time to read. It takes me nearly a month to finish a non-stormlight archive sized book.
We’re actually not the most efficient relative to other Booktubers but there’s definitely a huge incentive - one huge plus is that we have eachother to talk about a book with so having a reading buddy really helps. Or in Rich and I’s case reading aquantainces 🤓
"There's not one good character." That's wild. I guess that is how literature works, because Name of the Wind is one of my favorite books of all time and I loved the character work.
My favorite chapter from Hyperion was the one of the colonel. Y’all said it was bad, but you have to think about his perspective. He was a warrior, a fighter and he fell in love with it. He fell in love with the battle and he would fight and meet his lover, his enemy on the other side of the battlefield. He would fight and thend he would make love to the alluring woman that haunted his dreams. The point is revealed because he crash land on Hyperion and there he found his lover, but she reveals who she is and he’s mortified. The person he pursued on each battlefield and in combat was his lover. It was like the most tragic of all the stories because he chases this dream and this love only to find out he has been groomed to be the leader of the most destructive force in the galaxy. It’s crazy and only like the third story in the book, but the brutality, the erotica, and the revelation of the truth hit really hard. He changed his whole life because he found out what he was supposedly predestined to do.
I whole heartedly agree with Rich the philosophical quandaries in Sci Fi are my favorite parts. It's why I need to force my self to read Dune I have all the Frank Herbert novels but keep putting it off.
I would say Outlaw Star is the perfect example of sci-fi fantasy. From Jean Starwind having a gun that shoot special and expensive bullets that cast powerful spells to him trying to figure out on how to defeat supernatural foes eith abilities that far exceed his. Just following the simple rule that not everyone has the access to magic can open doors to great dynamic storytelling.
AMAZING superhero fantasy: "Steelheart" and ther rest of "The Reckoners" series by Brandon Sanderson. It adds a twist to the general idea of the genre, but I think it should qualify here!
I (Richard) tried reading it a while ago and dnf the book. The characters did not grab me by the halfway mark. That could be a me problem, I may attempt a reread if Austin reads as well.
@@2ToRamble Jade City didn't click for me aswell, should have DNF'd but struggled through it. Think I'm just not into Urban Fantasy + characters were pretty flat
maybe you're just associating the Dystopian genre with shitty YA Dystopian novels which flooded the markets in the 2000s, lmao. I personally think some of the best speculative fiction is dystopian - 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid's Tale, and many others. I disagree that The Poppy War is dystopian though, the plot doesn't take place in the middle of an oppressive regime, it takes in the middle of war and revolution
I see why you guys had an issue thinking up examples of Utopian fiction. Star Trek is a pretty good one but, funnily enough THE PRIME EXAMPLE of the genre is the book the contextual used the term, UTOPIA! It’s pretty old and more philosophy focused than narrative based but very much still worth reading (I actually need to get to it myself, lol)
Ahh thats right! I (austin) read this a bit back, and goes to show you how much it stuck with me that I didn’t bring it up lol. Reading books for a class vs. for pleasure definitely makes it a different experience though.
great video! im a new fan off of your wheel of time reviews. perhaps the worst take on modern art ive heard in a very long time, but yalls dynamic is excellent
Mistborn - Hero of ages - slight spoiler incoming The threat of extinction here is the main issue to get invested I'd say. The characters etc. Make it great but the book wouldn't work without a scope of that magnitude. Everything up until now was dystopian and dreadful wars to some degree but the level of desperation the Hero of ages brings to the table needed a world ending (extinction) threat in order to be convincing and also in order to increase the tension and elevate the scope of the trilogies ending
Funny you say that. I read Dragons of the Dwarven Depts recently and enjoyed it so decided to revisit the original series and did not love it like I once did.
When I was little I read a book about a girl who sows clothes and lives with a dragon. It had a dragon in it. I'm only now realizing that it was a dragon book for girls 😆 Edit: found it. "Dragon Slippers" by Jessica Day George
@@2ToRamble progression fantasy is a sub genre of fantasy that basically focuses on characters that increase in power and skill over time. You should check out the undisputed king Cradle by Will Wight
If you like anime, watch cyber punk edgerunners. Only ten episodes and the production quality, animation and story are all so on point. Give it a shot!
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in a technology, crime, corrupted and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having losing everything, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner-a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk. It is absolutely amazing and you should definitely give it a shot
Spaghetti western is S tier just for Bud Spencer and Terence Hil movies, normal westerns are C tier i'd say. Edit: Also you should try reading something from Emilio Salgari. He is basically considered the grandfather of spaghetti westerns.
You seriously put Sword & Sorcery at a low C and Grimdark at an A! S&S is the original Grimdark. The authors of today can’t compare to Howard, Leiber, Moorcock and Wagner, just to name a few. S tier all the way! You newbie’s have some more reading to do.
Superhero Fantasy should be EASY to write in novel form. Technically speaking stories like Drizzt, Elric, Vampire Hunter D, and so on are successful borderline Superhero Fantasy. We're just waiting for someone to pull it off. Like My Hero Academia would be a GREAT novel series for example.
