Hello! After finishing Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom I’m looking for books with easy/moderate digestion and set in fantasy early modern ages. I have a bad habit of dropping books that fail to “properly” set the context of the fantasy within the first pages or the first chapter, I know this might sound pedant but I’m not looking for disapproval.
​
Since I didn’t find a proper list or descriptions for asking in here, here goes mine:
1. **Setting:** Early Modern Fantasy, with maybe old guns and revolvers, some sort of magic or prophecies, those are not requirements, it’s just the type of “world” I’m looking for. I’m fine for medieval fantasy as well, like “Witcher” or “Lord of the Rings”.
2. **Plot:** Heists, rescues and journeys are my favorites, I don’t enjoy reading books that stay on the same place for too many chapters.
3. **Description** (idk how to express it)**:** Detailed but not over-detailed, I have been trying to read “Mistborn” and “The Lies of Locke Lamora” and the authors simply go through the fist 10-15 pages without explaining or detailing anything, as an example, the first 10 pages of “Mistborn” introduces characters, concepts, classes, positions and politics without describing ANYTHING.
4. **Ending:** I’m alright with cliff hangers, open to discussion or plot twist endings. Clear or *really* easy to predict endings are less desired.
5. **Characters:** Multiple main characters with gray personality but tending to good or at least moral (DnD -> Chaotic Neutral / True Neutral).
6. **Powerfulness:** Average level/powered characters, I despise works of fiction with overpowerful or reality-breaking facilities, like “Harry Potter” or “One Punch Man”.
7. **Digestion:** Moderate/easy to digest, nothing that would take my attention away from classes or studies but also nothing too dumb.
