I’m new to the fantasy community, but I’m glad to see it here on Lemmy as well! I would say my favorite novel/series so far has been Mistborn, but it’s kind of the only one I’ve read so far (although it was fantastic). I’d like to gauge all of your responses too!

Abercrombie is definitely very good at this. Most if the time I could tell from a couple of sentences who's perspective we were following just from the vibe change. Other writers definitely do this as well, but in this series each character has their own distinctive flavor that is so well defined that he makes it seemless.

You've got a way to go, but man is the ride is wild.
