The Maradaine Saga
Reposting this from my bluesky account. If you're looking for some hella good fantasy, check these books out! If you liked HP back in the day, but you want something that hasn't been eaten by the TERF braineater? These are fantastic! Want some hard-nosed crime drama? How about a heist or two?
Marshall Ryan Maresca has it all, my friends! I was privileged to attend his very first reading of A Thorn of Dentonhill at Armadillocon lo these many moons and mango seasons ago, and I was hooked with the first book. I've gotten them all as they've come out and haven't regretted a thing. His worldbuilding is ambitious and his storytelling is gripping!
On top of all that, he has an amazing worldbuilding podcast that's been nominated for another Hugo!
Check him out at his blog!
