What is you guys' favorite fantasy book/series?
I love when a book has:
1.) a very creative and interesting world
2.) very creative and interesting power or magic systems
3.) dynamic characters that have flaws and real personalities rather than cliche cut-outs
4.) a "chosen one" who still has to earn his/her powers and work hard to unlock their potential rather than some deus ex machina granting god-mode status to them in an instant
But I hate when a book has:
1.) too many fantasy cliches (I realize that this genre is inherently cliched but I like when the author handles recurring fantasy plot characteristics in unique ways)
2.) overdramatics
3.) gary stus/ mary sues
4.) too much romance, admiring beauty, every character is beautiful, storybook romance, unrealistically perfect witty exchanges
feel free to mention your favorite even if it doesn't match what i like tho!
