Book tastes

Zach has read everything fantasy, so you might have to dig on this one. He reads web serials like, "A Practical Guide to Evil" and anything by Wildbow. He's also reading books by Gareth Hanrehan, "Berserk" by Kentauro Miura (very long manga series, he's on his 6th reread of) and John Gwynne books. So, he loves DARK fantasy, adventure fantasy, the archetypical stuff. Think: sword and sorcery, wizards and mages, the underworld, creatures of the night, ghouls, Brandon Sanderson books, "The Wheel of Time" series, "Elric of Melnibone." That kind of stuff. The darker, the grittier, the better.

Don't get this!

Anything fluffy. (Epic, yes. Sexy elf romance, also yes, but fluffy romance and sweet heroines are a no unless they wear chainmail and cut men's throats.)

MyFathersDragon: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch might be lesser known enough that he hasn’t read it. (Dec 4, 2023, 10:45pm)
thebookmagpie: I think Mark Lawrence's books are quite dark/grim, maybe the Prince of Thorns series? Also perhaps Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir might work. (Dec 4, 2023, 5:44pm)
AzureSasha: he might like jirel of joiry (Dec 4, 2023, 3:31pm)
