My top two books of 2022 were "Oathbringer" by Brandon Sanderson and "Arcanum" by Coeur al'Aran.

Nocka 2mos

Definitily "Oathbringer" from Brandon Sanderson, part 3 of the Stormlight Archive. It's just stunnig and amazing, such a great book series. Looking forward to the next chapters of this epic journey!

Oathbringer probably. I also read Rhythm of War but preferred Oathbringer, the Battle of Thaylen Field was incredible.

Jade Legacy hands down.

So hard to narrow it down! Jade Legacy is at the top.

Gotta hand it to @FondaJLee's Jade Legacy, the best example of how to conclude an amazing trilogy where every book is superior to the one that came before. Absolutely fantastic and practically flawless from beginning to end.

Dune. I missed the movie in cinemas because I wanted to read the book first. Great decision. I am currently about to start Messiah.

Best one in general was probably City of Miracles by RJB or The Name of the Wind

Clayboy 2mos

I know I'm very very late to this but I absolutely loved this book. I also read its sequel which was good but I have a lot more opinions on the second than the first. I loved the style of writing, the world, the characters. All great.

Stormlight Archive Book 1 - Way of Kings ... top tier fantasy 💯

Ace, finally playing Trails 2mos

The Way of Kings! I started reading regularly again once I started substitute teaching after only ever reading a couple books here and there during college, but Way of Kings put me on a huge kick to where I'm reading almost as much as playing games now and buying up lots of books

House in the Cerulean Sea - TJ Klun. Unashamedly kind and gentle fantasy, whilst still being funny and dealing with serious subject matter.

Paul 2mos

A toss up between ‘Under the whispering door’ and the ‘House in the Cerulean sea’. I tend to read multiple books at once so it’s hard to choose.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch In a world that was feeling over-filled with multiverse stories, this was one that was intelligent, sciencey, and pleasantly crazy at the conclusion, a tiny bit Sanderlanche.
