And like WOT is high fantasy and very chill to read. The first book hews very close to LOTR but then things start to diverge and get more interesting and fun.

Lolz so no one liked this when I posted, but can’t recommend enough Rosamund Pike’s new audiobook versions! I’m currently about to finish book 2 and I’m glad she’s made it through 4 so far. I LOVED the books as a kid and made it through 1-10 twice (gave up at 10), but Pike’s audio version is giving the stories new life and is ridiculously fun. Highly recommend this approach and I say this as someone who doesn’t even like audiobooks.

@GRAPE dude same here! But this one is theater since she does all the voices and is just so captivating. Every other audiobook I just immediately stop focusing. Try to read em then, very very fun especially for the first time. (Haha and yeah I grew up before smart phones so lots of idle times)

@TORTITUDE ok i will at least check it out then!! Our library seems to have it for download. Worst case I can read and listen at the same time which is kinda fun sometimes

@GRAPE that’s awesome! Just make sure it’s the Pike version and not the original audiobooks. I will have to switch to those after book 4, but from what I hear they’re not as engaging and audio quality on the first few is particularly bad, so won’t be the same experience. Have so much fun. The WOT is once again the only thing I think about!

Not a huge fantasy novel person, but I read the Game of Thrones books. Waiting forever for the new ones to come out, as a joke decided to try reading the entire Wheel of Time series (14 loooong books) while I waited. I’m on book 7 of 14. Can’t/won’t turn back now.

My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea what’s happening, to find that you really didn’t like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable
