in case you didn't notice im looking for fantasy

I know a few (most) people here spam that it's not real literature but it's what I like/am looking for at the moment, I have other genres

>> No.2072436

all of my list is recommended titles from /litl/ over time, I've read many good series and those I deleted as I finished them

>> No.2072445

I've read both of the first two series. I enjoyed them both, Prince of Nothing is somewhat more slower paced, but if you like a story to have a detailed background, it's pretty interesting. First Law was a fun read, and pretty light. I actually enjoyed Best Served Cold more, which is in the same universe, but is more standalone.

You can't read audiobooks, you "listen" to them.

A Wizard of Earthsea read by Harlan Ellison
The Last Unicorn read by Peter Beagle
Howl's Moving Castle (great story but the writing is a bit childish)

>> No.2072511

>>2072496

I always add any titles recommended here and sooner or later get the it

earthsea, I think I've seen an animated movie with earthsea as title, any relation?

>> No.2072517

>>2072511
if you mean the one by studio ghibli then yes
but it's a thinned out and altered summary of 4 books kind of

>> No.2072523

>>2072511
The movie has next to nothing to do with the books.
