Yo how good is the shadow is what was lost? I’ve gotten halfway through twice and life keeps happening so I can’t finish, but is it worth that third try?

I see that Robin Hobb in there! I also read her stuff for the first time this year and omg she’s got one of the most beautiful writing styles I’ve ever read

Definitely a hidden gem, I don’t remember how I found out about it, and the only copy I could find was ex-library. It’s got very similar vibes to The Lies of Locke Lamora, which is my favorite book

I personally love it, I read so much of the same genre that it’s really hard for me to be surprised by anything. The backstory especially had me so confused at first and I absolutely loved the feeling of being lost, made the payoff in the end and in the next book so much better. And without spoiling too much, this is the only series I’ve read where I feel time travel is done really well. First and second books were 4.75/4.5 for me, but the third wraps everything up so nicely and can’t be beat

And it obviously draws from several other fantasy novels, but still manages to do its own thing and feel both nostalgic and unique at the same time.

With all the fantasy I’ve read, I couldnt believe that I hadn’t read her before! I’m really loving it so far, the third farseer book wasn’t quite as good to me as the first two, but I still enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next series (I got it for christmas!!)
