Well I’m craving something in this genre but I’m a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I’m not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?

I’m looking for something in a high fantasy setting. I’m not too keen on heavy politics and war driven plots (though, I can read that ). What really gets me is interesting characters, good action and magical creatures.

I’ve loved anything Discworld and I’ve also enjoyed the First Law books by Abercrombie.

I’m finding that Tolkien, Sanderson and George RR Martin appear on every fantasy list I come across, so if you do recommend something I’d appreciate it be something other than that.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl was great, I’m waiting for the next book. Lol. Haven’t read He Who Fights, why is it good?

      The main character is a Japanese guy who’s in Australia and the narrator of the audio book is Australian. The humor was on point for me and the magic and abilities that three MC gets are dark and horrific but he is such a funny silly guy it’s hard to expect what he will do haha. Very fun story and cool abilities. Several books long as you won’t be waiting years either 👌
