>>8111017>1.) The Great Book of Amber (it's a mystery, don't read spoilers)>2.) The Elric Saga (before Michael Moorcock sucked, part of the Eternal Champion series)>3.) Children of Hurin (best Tolkein book)>4.) Her Majesties Wizard (oldschool white mans isekai)The Chronicles of Amber is the one you should read. The Great Book of Amber
is all the books combined into one big book, so get that one. It's the only book I'd ever
recommend to anyone.
For fucking freaks Dancers at the End of Time, but only the first book
in that arc is good, the rest arent very good. Also part of the Eternal Champion series.
The Elric Saga is the best place to start with Eternal Champion because it directly
deals with the gods, the multiverse, and all the mystery stuff a lot more directly. Other
books will reference those details, otherwise you don't need to know the rest to get the full
experience. Dancers is like VRCHAT for gods and just as perverted.
Children of Hurin is Christopher Tolkein writing an actual full story about the First Age, which
was the peak of Middle Earth. Lord of the Rings took place in the third age, after all the cool
stuff happened. First age and prior to first age is when everything awesome happened.
The Silmarillion is worth reading but you'd really benefit from looking online at maps and art
if you do because it's largely a book of lore and most people will not enjoy it if they're not very
into fantasy.
Her Majesties Wizard is just fun. A nerd gets sucked into a medieval type magical world where everything
is literal. A knight can never lie, if anyone is knighted they suddenly become that archetype and
automatically have all the skills and strengths, as well as constraints. Has some interesting literary
references but nothing obnoxiously obscure. Dude can create spells by reciting poetry. There's a drunk dragon.
