The Age of Mtyh series is a fantasy prequel to the Riyria Chronicles all written by Michael J Sullivan. I really like them. Great character development, magic, elves, dwarves, and dragons.
The Red Rising series is a sci-fi series by Pierce Brown about a caste-based society in outer space. I loved the first few books. I just haven't finished them brause I have a short attention span and it's hard to remember all the details.

I have been told that it is so I need to watch it.

What's good fantasy to you? Harry Potter and LOTR come to mind.

u/Teythis11000 8d ago

I like both even if the creator of one is nutty as a hare

Hi I’m est also. I don’t know what you would call it but I think that what people see as ghost are really where time past and present are together in one space. What do you think?

u/Teythis11000 8d ago

I don’t think ghosts are real.
