ADULT FANTASY RECS (that aren’t Sanderson pt 2)

Reviews7

Loved

if you like a really interesting magic system i highly recommend this one because it definitely is also this story has an interesting tone to it because it doesn't take it itself too seriously which is something i think a lot of people who are fans of this series really like about it

Liked

it explores i think the crime family who's actually really powerful and holds a lot of influence in society it explores i don't mean this negatively it explores the more boring side of that but i say that with love i swear

Liked

i feel like what makes malice kind of cool is that malice is like what if i took a bunch of the tropes that you've seen in fantasy a lot of times what if i took those tropes but i put my own spin on them

Loved

our main character is very edgy she's got a chip on her shoulder and in typical leigh bardugo fashion you do start to see why she is the way she is and it's done in a masterful way i think leigh bardugo writes backstories really well and she's able to dive into characters and really explore what makes people who they are and i think she did that really well in this story

Disliked

i did not love uprooted and somebody actually said they really like that about this author that she is able to write two stories that are very different from one another because it just shows how much she's got up her sleeve her abilities as an author and i think also i agree with that it's really cool
