@bookstodon I need #BookRecommendations please! I’m looking for low #fantasy recommendations. Romance can be there but I want plenty of adventure & banter to go along with it. Nothing epic- magic should take a back seat and it’d be amazing if the main character did not have magic at all. Best if MC is not royal/deity/etc.

The closest thing I’ve read to this is Intisar Khanani’s The Dauntless Path series (which is amazing and I highly recommend). Anything else like it?

@Da_Gut @bookstodon These sound wonderful, especially the Steerswoman! I knew about T. Kingfisher but her books completely slipped my mind--I haven't gotten around to them yet so I'll bump them up in my TBR, but The Steerswoman looks like the type of book I was looking for! (The Penric novellas also look interesting).

Let me know if you think of any others! Thank you so much!

I have not-- yet! It looks like he's got a series, Vlad Taltos. This looks super interesting-- not exactly what I was looking for on paper but it actually might fit really well from this description. I love the idea of this whole other-planet, sorcerer race plotline! Thank you!

@Da_Gut @bookstodon I love it when science fiction elements cross into fantasy so that’s excellent!

@paul_ipv6 @zakyfarms @bookstodon I’ve heard mixed things about Harry Dresden, but I don’t usually enjoy urban fantasy, so I haven’t tried it. I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on the Vlad Taltos series!

I read this book last year and I loved it so much, it's one of my all-time favorite books. So of course I had to tell my friend Kriti about it, and now that she's read it too, we had a little chat about it! Check it out at : https://armedwithabook.com/the-last-gifts-of-the-universe/

This book also recently won which I was so excited to hear about! (Check out more amazing sci-fi books at @spsfc ).
