Yggdrasil's Forester.
Those are all a staple of the urban fantasy covers. I read the ebooks, so I never see those dumb covers. Seems like they all took their inspiration from Patricia Briggs.

I still remember when I got a copy of assassin’s apprentice in high school and I’ve read everything in the realm of the elderlings pretty much as soon as it hits. The ending absolutely hit me hard in the feels, too.
It’s funny that she so perfectly captures friendships. I agree with you that RotE is top 3 along with the Solar Cycle for me.

why is it every single time it mentions nynaeve it's like "she's wearing more scandalous clothing than when she was in the two rivers but it's still stout, good, homespun wool"
i really think if you cut out the repetitive descriptions (we get it, the dark one is touching the world, vegetation is suffering, people are gonna starve, jesus fuckin wept WE GET IT) you'd have maybe one book left in the whole 14 book series

I just finished Lonesome Dove. I always recommend the mini-series to people - Robert Duvall is so goddamn good.
The book is something like 750 pages, and usually, this kind of book would put me off.
Here I was wanting more.

Remember watching it as a child with my parents. Bought bluray ages ago but never watched it.
Really? It is praised pretty highly on r/fantasy. And reviews pretty highly on goodreads.
Idk... Can't quite put my finger on it. I mean, it was good enough for me to start the third book. It's a little basic I guess from a literary standpoint. Never once have I had a problem putting it down for the night.
Definitely check it out as the high praise is what turned me on to it. I think it would make s good movie tbh.

Oooh...I need to read that. Watched the movie and it was fucking intense at the beginning when he put his gun to his son's head.

Oh ya if you haven’t read that … I think that’s the one. I don’t even read fiction but that book was intense and I still think about it often.Oooh...I need to read that. Watched the movie and it was fucking intense at the beginning when he put his gun to his son's head.

murderbot diaries is fuckin dope what the hell dude
reading this book:
great so far, seanan mcguire has really become one of the best out there in the past few years. this is a kind of sequel of sorts to Middlegame which was an incredible book. hope this one is as good, it's pretty fantastic so far. her prose is just damn near impeccable.
