If you're a completionist, read in this order. Otherwise you can start with The Liveship Traders Trilogy or The Rain Wild Chronicles, but make sure you save Fitz and the Fool for last.

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

What's are some books you want to finish before 2026?

What's some books you want to make sure you read before the end of the year? For me I'll ideally get to all these: Project Hail Mary Blood Over Brighthaven Sword of Kaigen Piranesi The Shadow of the Torturer

This book was not at all what I was expecting it to be but it was sooo good by the time I got to the end. I wasn’t sure at first but it definitely has me hooked to start the second book asap.

Jade City (The Green Bone Saga, #1)

Fonda Lee

JADE CITY is a gripping Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kungfu. The Kaul family is one of two crime syndicates that control the island of Kekon. It's the only place in the world that produces rare magical jade, which grants those with the right training and heritage superhuman abilities. The Green Bone clans of honorable jade-wearing warriors once protected the island from foreign invasion--but nowadays, in a bustling post-war metropolis full of fast cars and foreign money, Green Bone families like the Kauls are primarily involved in commerce, construction, and the everyday upkeep of the districts under their protection. When the simmering tension between the Kauls and their greatest rivals erupts into open violence in the streets, the outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones and the future of Kekon itself.

Climate fictions🌿🕸🔥 - does anyone have good climate fiction recs?

I took a Climate Fiction course in my Masters (I studied EngLit) and have been invested in this subgenre ever since!! I want more recs for climate fiction though, it could also be just a subplot rather than the whole plot🥺 I'll share my recs here and you share yours plz!! My recs: 1) How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue 2) Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy 3) A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers (this one is more hopeful than the others) 4) Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor (a subplot in this one) 5) Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler 6) Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer I don't recall more rn but please give me your recs🤲

I almost enjoyed this one a little bit more than the first one since I feel like we got to spend more time with the characters together. Another short but fun read!

The Bloodless Princes (The Fireborne Blade, #2)

Charlotte Bond

Orpheus meets A Natural History of Dragons in a tale of death, honor and true love's embrace. It seemed the afterlife was bustling. Cursed by the previous practitioner in her new role, and following an... incident... with a supremely powerful dragon, High Mage Saralene visits the afterlife with a boon to beg of the Bloodless Princes who run the underworld. But Saralene and her most trusted advisor/champion/companion, Sir Maddileh, will soon discover that there's only so much research to be done by studying the old tales, though perhaps there's enough truth in them to make a start. Saralene will need more than just her wits to leave the underworld, alive. And Maddileh will need more than just her Fireborne Blade. A story of love and respect that endures beyond death. And of dragons, because we all love a dragon!
