Way of the shaman. He becomes a dragon
realm of the elderlings by robin hobb. start at assassins apprentice.
absolutely incredible series with incredibly real, deep, and well fleshed out characters. there’s not a whole lot of battles or anything like that in the books but they’re still absolutely amazing. i actually just finished the series myself about a week ago.
I love these books so much. I’m finished with two of her trilogies. About to start the third. For me it will be Liveship Traders. I just finished Tawny Man.
liveship was slow but ended up being good. firs and the fool was amazing though!!
Catfantastic is a collection a short cat-themed stories and there were several anthologies published.
