ADULT FANTASY RECOMMENDATIONS ~ with actual adult characters

the very first book in the series a darker shade of magic it kind of starts out getting you acclimated to everything and then once it starts it moves

one of my favorite series of all time officially I read it this year and I'm so in love with it and that would be age of Madness I love age of Madness so much it's so stupid how good it is

there are a lot of things though that I thought it did phenomenally I think it takes a nice examination of our own Society but then sort of spits it back out in a very satirical funny palatable way

what I really appreciate about the series is not just how well the aesthetic of the story is represented that feeling of being in a coffee shop and all the nice smells and the music in the background and the tasty yummy treats and things like that while it's done very well and I loved that about this

it is a lot of fun it's cheeky it sounds really dark given the main motivation of our main character but it definitely is quite amusing and still to this day one of my favorite if not still my favorite king fisher work I really love nettle and Bone a lot

I definitely think if you like Epic Fantasy and if you like that character that is sort of rough and Gruff been there done that but oh okay I'll get pulled into this Quest you might really like this individual

I do think that this book still is an absolute blast it has a lot of twists and turns it also has a setting that is one we don't see very often in fantasy which was a lot of fun and it's somewhat historical fantasy as well I just thought it was such a good time

it did make for this to have a slower beginning however I loved that I don't feel like you get to see that very often in series and I so appreciated that and you do get some new Perspectives you get some new threats the world opens up a little bit more and I just thought that was so much fun

I do think that John Gwyn takes the time to really make everybody interesting and to have everybody's stories be compelling captivating and they take turns being the perspectives you want to spend the most time with but Orca is just so cool she's the coolest charact she's one of the coolest characters I've come across

I think it asks a lot of those tough questions and I think that it helps us empathize with anybody who's experienced trauma to a point that the character in this story has

it is still very creepy and very edge of your seat you really don't know what's going on exactly and it mess with your head in a lot of ways which I liked quite a bit about those but it really is the examinations of PTSD that I think made that stand out for me
