@kris.and.mads: Is The Bound and the Broken series by @Ryan Cahill worth your time? This is an epic fantasy series, currently incomplete. It will ultimately be five main volumes in the series, with four novellas and one short story. 4 of the 5 main books are out, and 3 of the 4 novellas are also available. The final novella is set to release in 2026 and the final main series novel is scheduled for 2028! Our recommended reading order: Of Blood and Fire The Fall (novella) Of Darkness and Light The Exile (novella) Of War and Ruin The Ice (novella) Of Empires and Dust RATINGS Goodreads Avg: 4.42 ⭐️ Kristen’s Ratings: 4.25 ⭐️ Maddie’s Ratings: 4.28 ⭐️ Pages: 3,643 pages Time: 150 hours 38 m This story takes place in the war-torn country of Epheria. 400 years ago the dragonguard was divided, and while the remaining dragon guard keep order in the north, the south is a loose alliance of lords fighting to maintain their independence. The books follow Calen, who lives in the south, about to make his right of passage into manhood, when three strangers arrive with a secret that changes the course of his destiny. It feels like classic fantasy with elves, dwarves, dragons, a huge map, and large cast of characters…but is so accessible. The politics and world-building feel sprawling, reminiscent of Wheel of Time or Lord of the Rings. We love the moral ambiguity, and the themes at the heart of the story! The length feels very earned until of Empires and Dust, but by book 4, you’re so invested, that you put up with a bit of side questing and indulgence! 😂

Idk why but when you first started the synopsis the Eragon series came to mind. Haven’t thought of that series in years!

Do you think it’s necessary to read the novellas, or can I just read the main books?

I started reading this but it had so many things that felt completely ripped off of other series, specifically eragon and wheel of time. I got half way through the first book and the amount stolen from wheel of time made me not want to continue
