Hi! I am looking to write fantasy, a kind of notoriously overdone genre. I am curious if there are any “hot takes” on it that look at it from a fresh perspective? I have a long plate of titles to read already but I would be happy to learn what titles you have read and would recommend for somebody who wants to see how other people did interesting fantasy novels.
I… had a hard time with the first 100 or 200 pages of the first book of The Broken Earth trilogy.
Yeah, yeah, I’m squeamish, ugh… Too dark.
