Maybe this sub could make the suggestion in another post? I know I can't organise this, but maybe someone can

I LOOOOVE PIRANESI

I got it without having even read the blurb and daaaamn. I was absolutely hooked.

The Way of Kings is indeed big, but the writing style is not complex and the story is (for me) easy to follow. Lots of names, tho, which can get confusing.

Even better, the Stormlight Archive can be read without having read the other Sanderson books. Yeah there are some references to others but the experience won't tarnish if you don't read them.

TWOK is my favourite book, and the only one I own that I bought signed because all it meant to me

I tried Bookwyrm but I wasn't a fan of the review style. I like that in TSG you have a checklist with moods that give you an overview of the feelings the book may evoke. So giving my opinion is fast and painless, if I don't feel like writing a whole review

I've read them too and first one was amazing, second one was good but repetitive. Third one I finished but didn't like. The story gets repeated over and over

How could we do that?

Hi everyone! I'm a very avid reader and would love to add more reading people to The StoryGraph. The more friends, the more books I may want to read I'll see!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,

The Spell Shop

Demon Copperhead

Two Twisted Crowns

I particularly loved the first two, as I couldn't put them down.

Demon Copperhead was a difficult read, emotionally, and I recommend reading it before or after "The Empire of Pain".

The last one is the second (and final) book of The Shepherd King series, which features a very interesting magic system along with great characters
