From Mistborn: The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Why does all fantasy have to be like that?
Please recommend some fantasy novels with themes of real liberation to me. I love fantasy but I hate that it's always a new monarchy people happily submit to...
it's quite absurd, the historical models fantasy mines are full of semi-democratic institutions! village government, city government, the city-states!
fantasy Venice would be frikin cool
Check out The Water Mirror by Kai Meyer. Bit of a youth's book really but fun to read.
