For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.
This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.
Do you have any other book like that?
Someday I hope to make it past the first book. I have read almost every King novel leading up to The Dark Tower series but I couldn’t get through The Gunslinger and I couldn’t say exactly why, it just didn’t grab my attention like his other works.
