Series To Start In 2022

Hello Bookworms!  I wanted to listed all the Fantasy series that I plan on starting this year. I have 10 series that I'm planning on starting this year, not that I plan on finishing all of these series some of them are quite long but I definitely wanted to at least start all of these. I have two rules in place when picking out these series. One it has to be a series that's already complete that I can actually complete it if I want to.  Second is it has to have more then three books in the series. No Duologies.  These are in no particular order.

1. The First Law Series by Joe Abercrombie
2. Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks
3. The Mistborn Saga by Brandon Sanderson
4. The Stormlight Archive Series by Brandon Sanderson
5. The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
6. Gentleman Bastard Series by Scott Lynch
7. The Riyria Revelations Series by Michael J. Sullivan
8. Powder Mage Series by Brian McClellan
9. Malazan Book of the Fallen Series by Steven Erikson
10. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Series by Tad Williams

Have you read any of these book.  Let me know in the comment section below.

Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals.

But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

My Thoughts

What I like about this book is the world, the magic system and the characters.  Everything is just really well-thought-out and the character's for the most part are really layered.  There was one character that I was not a fan of, Kip, I did not like his character.  I would be fine if his character was kill off.  But obviously he probably shouldn't because he is probably important.  But other than that I pretty much liked every character that was put into the story they are really interesting.

I love how so many characters are very morally gray. Our main hero of the story Gavin is very morally gray, he has done a lot of really horrible stuff and it's continuing to do horrible stuff in the present time in order to accomplish his goals. I think most people would  like Gavin but you don't like everything he does.  There's this conflict of I like you but there's so much that you do that I hate.  I think that build some greatly interesting characters.

I just think in general the plot isn't the biggest focus of the story at least not in book one but in every other element it's so well built.  

I'm just going to summarize I thought the book was excellent I didn't think everything was perfectly executed and because of that I'm giving it 4.5 stars instead of 5.  I thought that it was such a great story with such great characters and so much potential for what's to come and the series.  I enjoyed myself with this book from start to finish, I thought it was so great.  I can't wait to continue on the book 2.
