Summary

Session focused on selecting 12 fantasy/progression fantasy audiobooks for Audible credits before cancelling a subscription.

Round 3 (12 recommendations):

Round 4 (12 recommendations):

Final Selection (narrowed from 15 to 12):

File Created:


Hello, Claude. As I am reorganizing my bills and cancelling things I am no longer using, I was informed by a series of 12 e-mails that I'm the owner of twelve (12) Audible credits. I believe (though I am not sure), that if you cancel your Audible subscription, your credits are also cancelled, but if you use them before you cancel, they're not. Is this correct or incorrect?

Your understanding is correct. With Audible:

Credits you don't use — Lost when you cancel. They don't carry over or get refunded.

Books you've already purchased — Yours forever. They stay in your library even after cancellation. You can re-download and listen to them indefinitely.

So the strategy is: use all 12 credits on audiobooks you want, then cancel. Those 12 books are yours permanently.

A few notes:

  1. No rush on the final day — You can use all credits immediately, then cancel the same day. No need to wait.

  2. Browse wisely — 12 credits is substantial. Might be worth spending 20 minutes picking books you actually want rather than panic-buying.

  3. Credit value — Each credit works on any book regardless of price, so they're most "valuable" on expensive books (though obviously only matters if you want them).

  4. Verify current terms — I'm confident this is correct as of my knowledge cutoff, but policies can change. If you want certainty before acting, Audible's cancellation FAQ or a quick chat with their support would confirm.

Yes, the purpose of this conversation is choosing the 12 books. As I'm working on a fantasy series (Tales from Psyonia) for the future, I'd like to go for a wide range of fantasy stories. However, I really progression fantasy the most. The stories I've read in this genre that I liked the most were Mother of Learning and Cradle, although I've read many others. I would prefer to avoid stories that explicitly use game elements in them (a story that has the concept of mana in it = fine, a story where the main character can access his skill tree or something similar = not fine), but focus on stories where the character progresses over time in power. Although I'm also open to fantasy stories that do not follow this strictly but that are interesting in other ways. I would like 12 different series, it doesn't matter how many books each series has, as long as it is finished, or almost finished. I would like to avoid starting a series that is on book 2 of 12 and book 12 will only come out 8 years from now. Please research widely if you can. Before you start, do you have any questions?

Good criteria. A few questions before I research:

  1. What else have you already read? You mentioned "many others" in progression fantasy. Knowing what you've consumed helps me avoid recommending duplicates. (Even a partial list helps — Bastion? Mage Errant? Arcane Ascension? Iron Prince?)

  2. Tone range — Mother of Learning and Cradle are both relatively optimistic/light compared to grimdark fantasy. Are you open to darker series (morally grey protagonists, bleaker worlds), or prefer to stay in that lighter zone?

  3. Setting variety — Do you want a mix (Eastern-inspired, Western medieval, urban, secondary world, etc.) or do you have preferences/aversions?

  4. Series length preference — With 12 credits, you could get 12 standalones/book-ones, or fewer series but more complete coverage (e.g., 4 trilogies). Any preference?

  5. Narrator quality — Some Audible versions are notably better or worse than others. Should I factor this into recommendations, or are you fine with any narration?

  1. My memory is terrible for the smaller series, but I believe I have read and not finished both Mage Errant and Arcane Ascension out of the ones you mentioned. There are more but I honestly don't remember them if you ask me on the spot like this. If it helps, you can avoid recommending both of those as I did not super like them. Actually, I kinda liked Arcane Ascension but it wasn't finished when I stopped reading it, but I definitely did not like Mage Errant.
  2. Yes, I am open to darker series. My favorite piece of media ever is Shin Sekai Yori, which is fairly dark I'd say.
  3. I don't have any preferences or aversions, as long as it's good.
  4. I want 12 book-ones.
  5. I'm fine with any narration. Although if there are better versions, please mention them.

Any further questions? Give me a turn before starting your research.

Two more:

  1. What turned you off about Mage Errant? If you remember, this helps me avoid recommending series with similar issues. (Pacing? Characters? Magic system? Prose style?)

  2. Mainstream fantasy authors — Have you read any of the bigger names? These you might remember more easily:

    • Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, Stormlight Archive)
    • Robin Hobb (Realm of the Elderlings)
    • Joe Abercrombie (First Law)
    • Brent Weeks (Lightbringer, Night Angel)
    • Will Wight (you read Cradle, but his other series?)
    • Brian McClellan (Powder Mage)
    • Mark Lawrence (Broken Empire, Book of the Ancestor)

    Just a quick "read it / haven't read it / started but dropped" for any you recognize would help me not waste slots.

  1. Is Mage Errant the one where the kid eventually says he was abused? I just did not like how much of a, pardon me the language, faggot the main character was.
  2. I have read The Perfect Run by Will Wight, which I kinda liked also, although it had lots of flaws too. I don't think I'm even too bound by fantasy now that I think of it, as long as the story is good. But I don't think I've read any of those other ones you mentioned.

Got it — you prefer protagonists with some backbone, not passive or self-pitying. That's useful to know.

Quick correction: The Perfect Run is by Maxime Durand (Void Herald), not Will Wight. Will Wight is Cradle. Easy to mix up since both are popular in the progression fantasy space.

And good to know you're open beyond strict fantasy — that widens the field.

I think I have enough to work with:

Anything I'm missing or got wrong? If not, I'll start researching.

Yes, you may proceed. ultrathink

I'll research thoroughly across multiple sources to find the best fits. Let me search for progression fantasy recommendations, completed series, and cross-reference with your preferences.

Based on the search results, here are some of the best completed fantasy series featuring strong protagonists with power growth:

## Completed Progression Fantasy Series

**Cradle Series by Will Wight**
"From a weak, overlooked child to a world-bending powerhouse, Lindon's journey is pure fantasy adrenaline. The Cradle series is progression fantasy done right—Lindon uses every trick, tool, and technique to grow stronger, eventually surpassing even the gods."

**Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson**
"In a world of ash and mist, where a thousand-year-old emperor rules with immortal power, a street urchin named Vin discovers she possesses magic that might change everything. Sanderson's magic system operates almost like science—precise, logical, and absolutely thrilling when wielded properly."

**Codex Alera by Jim Butcher**
"Legend has it that Butcher wrote this series after being challenged to create a good story from two terrible ideas: the lost Roman legion and Pokémon. The result is a world where everyone bonds with elemental spirits called furies—everyone except young Tavi, who must survive by his wits alone. The action scenes are spectacular, and Tavi's growth from shepherd boy to something far greater is immensely satisfying."

**The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (finished by Brandon Sanderson)**
"For those who wish their binge reading to last truly a very long time indeed, Jordan's masterwork awaits. This is fantasy on the grandest scale—thousands of pages, hundreds of characters, an intricate magic system, and a battle between Light and Shadow that spans ages."

**Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini**
"A farm boy discovers a dragon egg, and an entire world of adventure unfolds. The bond between Eragon and his dragon Saphira captured millions of hearts, and the complete four-book cycle offers a proper epic-length journey."

## Other Notable Recommendations

- **Free the Darkness by Kel Kade** and **The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks** and **Blood Song by Anthony Ryan** are top-voted books on Goodreads' "Overpowered Fantasy Characters" list.

- **The Warded Man/Painted Man by Peter V. Brett** - "has 3 main chars, one of them becomes incredibly strong at the end of the first book"

- For web serial/LitRPG fans: **Primal Hunter, Arcane Emperor, The Path of Ascension, and Defiance of the Fall** are popular choices with strong protagonist progression.

Based on the search results, here are some of the best progression fantasy book recommendations similar to **Cradle** and **Mother of Learning**, including several completed series:

## Completed Series

### Street Cultivation by Sarah Lin
Sarah Lin crafts a cultivation cyberpunk fusion that feels startlingly relevant, with progression that must be fought for against institutional barriers. The completed trilogy offers a tight, focused story with a satisfying conclusion—perfect for readers who want cultivation without the thousand-chapter commitment.

### Mage Errant by John Bierce
The seven books of this completed series take readers from the terrors of Skyhold's labyrinth to the farthest corners of the world, all while exploring a magic system so creative it sparkles with originality.(no content)The series follows Hugh of Emblin, a struggling mage-in-training who discovers hidden potential under the mentorship of an eccentric teacher. Set within a magical academy, Hugh must navigate dangerous trials, unexpected enemies, and mysteries surrounding his own abilities.

## Highly Recommended Ongoing/Near-Complete Series

### The Path of Ascension
Here we find Matt, an orphan with tragedy in his past and stars in his eyes, not so very different from Lindon. He possesses what appears to be rather a useless talent—until he discovers how to make it shine most brilliantly. The world stretches before him like an endless staircase, with Tiers upon Tiers to climb.(no content)It's probably the closest to Cradle. Matt and Liz remind many of Lindon and Yerin as they are thrust into a world where Tier 50s (read Monarchs) rule before they ascend to a higher realm.

### A Thousand Li by Tao Wong
If Cradle whetted your appetite for cultivation but you hunger for something closer to traditional wuxia, then Long Wu Ying's journey awaits. This young farmer never expected to join the prestigious Verdant Green Waters sect, yet fate has curious plans. Will Wight himself praised this series as "one of the best English-language cultivation series out there."

### Sufficiently Advanced Magic (Arcane Ascension) by Andrew Rowe
Young Corin Cadence faces the legendary Serpent Spire—a tower of ever-shifting rooms filled with puzzles, traps, and monsters. Those who survive receive an attunement, a mark granting magical powers. Those who reach the top may ask a boon of the goddess herself. Corin seeks something precious: his lost brother.(no content)Corin approaches magic with the analytical mind of a scholar, dissecting its rules and finding clever applications that more powerful mages overlook. For readers who savored the systematic nature of sacred arts in Cradle, this series offers intellectual delights aplenty.

### Iron Prince by Bryce O'Connor
Iron Prince should fit the bill—many readers couldn't put it down after getting into it.

### The Wandering Inn by pirateaba
Characters grow through their Classes and Skills, earning levels by living authentically and pushing beyond their limits. For readers who loved Cradle's expanding scope and rich character work, this sprawling masterpiece offers hundreds of hours of enchantment.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about progression fantasy recommendations without LitRPG or game mechanics:

## Key Distinctions

"Progression fantasy focuses on the journey, while LitRPGs focus on the destination. LitRPGs are also more focused on statistics and numbers, while progression fantasy is more focused on the story."(no content)Progression fantasy focuses on the idea of getting stronger through training, learning multiple techniques, and taking relics—things that do not need stat sheets to convey.

## Popular Non-LitRPG Progression Fantasy Recommendations

**Will Wight's Works:**

- In the **Cradle series** by Will Wight, martial artists train to reach higher levels of Cultivation by perfecting their body, mind, and spirit. At each level of Cultivation, they gain access to increasingly potent abilities.
- In the **Traveler's Gate Trilogy** by Will Wight, the protagonist trains in the titular House of Blades, unlocking new abilities and items with each room he successfully conquers.

**Andrew Rowe's Works:**

- In the **Arcane Ascension series** by Andrew Rowe, mages train to increase the amount of mana in their bodies. This allows them to cast stronger spells, and eventually, to increase their Attunement Level and gain formidable new powers.

**Classic Recommendation:**

- In **Mother of Learning** by Domagoj Kurmaic, the protagonist is a mage who is stuck in a time loop. As he repeats events in the loop, he gains new abilities, more mana, and more powerful spells.

**Mainstream Fantasy:**

- Brandon Sanderson's **Stormlight Archives** would fit the model of progression fantasy, but would not be in any of the LitRPG or GameLit categories.

**Royal Road Non-LitRPG Titles:**
**12 Miles Below**: Man lost the war with the machines centuries ago. The surface world is a frozen waste. A terrible mistake plunges the hero and his violent father down below, to the mite made caverns ruled by the machines. This one starts a little slow, but once it gets going it'll blow your socks off.

Other non-LitRPG stories mentioned include: Downtown Druid, Firebrand, Thresholder, Tenebroum, Changeling, Wearing Power Armor to a Magic School, A Practical Guide to Sorcery, and Time Looped.

Here's what I found about Mark Lawrence's Book of the Ancestor trilogy:

## Overview

The Book of the Ancestor trilogy is a series of three fantasy novels by Mark Lawrence. It comprises Red Sister (2017), Grey Sister (2018), and Holy Sister (2019).(no content)The three novels tell the story of Nona Grey, a peasant girl with mystical abilities.

## About Red Sister

Red Sister is the first novel in the Book of the Ancestor trilogy, by Mark Lawrence. It was published in April 2017 by HarperVoyager in the UK, and by ACE in the USA.(no content)At the Convent of Sweet Mercy, young girls are raised to be killers. In some few children the old bloods show, gifting rare talents that can be honed to deadly or mystic effect. But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don't truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls. A bloodstained child of nine falsely accused of murder, guilty of worse, Nona is stolen from the shadow of the noose.(no content)It takes ten years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist, but under Abbess Glass's care there is much more to learn than the arts of death. Among her class Nona finds a new family—and new enemies. Despite the security and isolation of the convent, Nona's secret and violent past finds her out, drawing with it the tangled politics of a crumbling empire.

## Inspiration and Reception

The Book of the Ancestor is Lawrence's first series featuring a female protagonist. It is unconnected from his previous works. Lawrence believes that reading the Malory Towers series by Enid Blyton with his daughter inspired him to focus on an all-female school setting.(no content)Red Sister was nominated for the 2018 David Gemmell Awards for Fantasy.(no content)Her life is spared through the intervention of Abbess Glass, who takes Nona to the Sweet Mercy Convent and puts her through rigorous training. Lawrence makes it seem fresh through "evocative prose and three-dimensional characterizations."

## About the Author

Mark Lawrence is a research scientist working on artificial intelligence. He is a dual national with both British and American citizenship, and has held secret-level clearance with both governments.

## About the Series

The Traveler's Gate Trilogy is the first work of New York Times Bestselling Author Will Wight, establishing his trademark style of creating action-focused, fast-paced fantasy novels. It was one of the earlier series to be referred to as Progression Fantasy, a subgenre focused on characters growing more powerful in their magic.(no content)Traveler's Gate explores a unique magic system that involves fighting through dangerous mystical realms to gain powers, and as such is often compared to video games. It's a light, humorous, easy-to-read story of fantasy adventure.

To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

## Additional Content

The Traveler's Gate trilogy also has several short stories written in the Traveler's Gate Chronicles.(no content)These are short stories set in the Traveler's Gate trilogy, available as a complete collection.

The trilogy is available in Kindle, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook formats (narrated by Travis Baldree on Audible).

Based on the search results, here are some dark fantasy completed series recommendations similar to **Shin Sekai Yori** (From the New World):

## Top Recommendations

### **Made in Abyss**
Both shows give off a vibe that everything is not as it appears. As the story progresses, both anime unravel this string showing darker elements. In Shin Sekai Yori this is done through psychic powers, and in Made in Abyss through its setting—the Abyss itself.(no content)Both begin following a deceptively simple "kids going on an adventure" formula, which later gets dropped in favor of darker tones. The themes they examine are closely related—both are interested in human nature, our potential and our limits. Both present a sense of creeping dread, sometimes confirmed with touches of body horror.

### **Psycho-Pass**
Psycho-Pass and Shinsekai Yori are both gripping dramas that occur in a dystopian future. They both raise interesting questions about what would be a right or wrong choice when the world has moved so far ahead that conventional standards no longer apply.(no content)Both have strong female leads that develop as the series goes on and provide haunting futures for humanity, with the veil of utopia stripped away by thought-provoking antagonists.

### **Shiki**
Shiki has a really dark and creepy mood. The atmosphere is sinister and mysterious, like in Shinsekai yori. In both, there are disappearances, supernatural elements, and humans confronting a different species. Both take place in an apparently peaceful remote village.

### **The Promised Neverland**
Similar aspects include children knowing about the dark secrets of the world they are living in, a future setting, good animation, friendship and romance, and feeling sad for the antagonist.

### **Ghost Hound (Shinreigari)**
Shinreigari is a mystery anime set in a remote and nearly isolated place where villagers are exposed to outbursts of supernatural phenomena. Much like Shiki, this anime has a nice array of well-written characters with believable motivations, eerie background music, and a unique overview of human nature.

### **Steins;Gate**
If there was ever a show that needed more attention, other than Shin Sekai Yori, it would be Steins;Gate. With solid animation, great music, and one of the best-adapted stories, it's not something you should be missing.

---

Note: Shin Sekai Yori is kind of hard to work with in terms of recommendations because people like it for all different reasons. There isn't really something that is similar enough to it that you can easily pick.

Based on my search results, here's what I found about Peter V. Brett's Demon Cycle series:

## Series Status: Complete

The Demon Cycle is a quintet (not a trilogy, as claimed in some media reports).(no content)There are 5 books in the main series.

## The Five Main Novels

The main epic consists of: The Warded Man / The Painted Man → The Desert Spear → The Daylight War → The Skull Throne → The Core.(no content)The fifth and final volume, The Core, was released on 3 October 2017 in the United States.

## Additional Content

Over the course of five novels and four novellas, The Demon Cycle explores the rise and fall of each hero.(no content)The novellas include The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, Brayan's Gold, Messenger's Legacy, and Barren.

## Sequel Series

Years later Brett returned to the same universe with the Nightfall Saga. Set fifteen years after The Core, books like The Desert Prince and The Hidden Queen follow Olive Paper and Darin Bales—the children of earlier heroes—as they inherit both a changed world and the unfinished consequences of their parents' choices.

So the original Demon Cycle series is **complete with 5 main novels**, plus several companion novellas, and there's now a sequel series (The Nightfall Saga) continuing the story with the next generation.

From NYT bestselling author Brent Weeks comes his breakout fantasy trilogy in which a young boy trains under the city's most legendary and feared assassin Durzo Blint. For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art — and he is the city's most accomplished artist.(no content)To be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name.

The complete, critically-acclaimed debut fantasy trilogy includes Prince of Thorns, King of Thorns, and Emperor of Thorns. From being a privileged royal child, raised by a loving mother, Jorg Ancrath has become the Prince of Thorns, a charming, immoral boy leading a grim band of outlaws in a series of raids and atrocities.(no content)Prince of Thorns, King of Thorns, and Emperor of Thorns are a remarkable new trilogy by one of fantasy fiction's newest rising stars. Together, they weave a tale of blood and treachery, magic and brotherhood and paint a compelling and brutal, and sometimes beautiful, picture of an exceptional boy on his journey toward manhood and the throne.

One of my favorite aspects of Prince of Thorns is the way Mark Lawrence blends grimdark fantasy with elements of post-apocalyptic dystopian sci-fi.(no content)Prince of Thorns is one of the best and most influential books in grimdark fantasy, authored by one of founding fathers of the genre.

## Planned Books

## The "Back Five" Arc
You can imagine books one through five being one arc, focused on Dalinar, Kaladin, Shallan, Eshonai, and Szeth.

That means we're looking at a seven-year window before the next Stormlight book.(no content)A Stormlight novella called *Horneater* is tentatively predicted to be out in late 2026.

Based on my search, here's what I found about the **Gods of Blood and Powder** trilogy by Brian McClellan:

## Overview

Gods of Blood and Powder is the second trilogy of books set in Brian McClellan's Powder Mage universe.(no content)Its story picks up just over ten years after the events of the original Powder Mage Trilogy, and focuses on the western continent of Fatrasta.(no content)McClellan published a sequel trilogy that had tentatively been entitled "Goddess of the Empire" before being replaced by the more thematically over-arching "Gods of Blood and Powder."

## The Books in the Trilogy

The trilogy consists of: Sins of Empire, Wrath of Empire, and Blood of Empire.(no content)All three books are available as a bundle in trade paperback format, signed by the author.

## Setting & Main Characters

The young nation of Fatrasta is a turbulent place -- a frontier destination for criminals, fortune-hunters, brave settlers, and sorcerers seeking relics of the past. Only the iron will of the lady chancellor and her secret police holds the capital city of Landfall together against the unrest of an oppressed population and the machinations of powerful empires.(no content)The insurrection that threatens Landfall must be purged with guile and force, a task which falls on the shoulders of a spy named Michel Bravis, convicted war hero Mad Ben Styke, and Lady Vlora Flint, a mercenary general with a past as turbulent as Landfall's present.

## Original Powder Mage Trilogy

For context, the Powder Mage trilogy is a series of epic fantasy novels written by American author Brian McClellan. It consists of the novels Promise of Blood (2013), The Crimson Campaign (2014), and The Autumn Republic (2015).

## Critical Reception

"McClellan continues to expand and build on the interesting and engaging world of his previous trilogy while also providing an exciting and fast-paced new story." Booklist noted that "In Sins of Empire, Brian McClellan returns to the world of his Powder Mage trilogy for a novel that is equal parts military adventure and spy tale, and succeeds wildly on both counts."

## Mixed Reviews on Narration

**Positive Reviews:**

- "Narrator is great, has different voices and easy to tell when the speaker changes."
- "I loved the story and the narrator. I can't wait to listen to the next one."
- "It was so seamless I can't tell you if he did very much with voices as I was completely lost in the Assassin's Apprentice. That tells me it was the best."

**Negative Reviews:**

- "A brilliant story can be undone by a subpar narrator, and that's exactly what Paul Boehmer does."
- "Boehmer seems to put on a fake sort of British accent and I found it extremely off-putting."
- "Paul what's his name has now ruined 3 good books for me. Why they get this guy to do readings is beyond me. This book deserved a quality narrator like Michael Kramer."
- "Terrible narrator/vocal actor. This version butchers the feel of the narrative so bad it's barely palatable... Reading the voice of a young boy as an experienced veteran... just comes off as monotone drudgery."
- "This is my favourite book but I couldn't even make it through the first chapter in audible - the narrator's voice just didn't belong in this world I know so well."

**Mixed/Neutral:**

- "Sometimes I did not like the voices he put to some of the characters, but the story took over."
- One reviewer recommends to "skip the audio version... and go straight to paperbound or eBook format."

Based on the search results, here are the top recommendations for **completed fantasy series featuring protagonists who grow powerful** from 2024/2025 recommendation lists:

## Top Completed Series with Power Growth

### Brandon Sanderson's Works

- **The Stormlight Archive (First Arc)**: With the 2024 release of *Wind and Truth*, the first arc of this saga is complete. Five massive volumes—each exceeding a thousand pages—transport readers to Roshar, a world of stone and storms where spirits called spren bond with humans to create Knights Radiant.

- **Mistborn**: In a world of ash and mist, where a thousand-year-old emperor rules with immortal power, a street urchin named Vin discovers she possesses magic that might change everything. Sanderson's magic system operates almost like science—precise, logical, and absolutely thrilling. Readers frequently report consuming all three books in a single week.

### **Codex Alera** by Jim Butcher
In a world where everyone bonds with elemental spirits called furies—everyone except young Tavi, who must survive by his wits alone. The action scenes are spectacular, and Tavi's growth from shepherd boy to something far greater is immensely satisfying.(no content)Legend has it that Butcher wrote this series after being challenged to create a good story from two terrible ideas: the lost Roman legion and Pokémon.

### **The Riyria Revelations** by Michael J. Sullivan
What begins as a tale of two rogues framed for a king's murder becomes something far grander. Royce, a cynical thief, and Hadrian, an optimistic swordsman, share a friendship that anchors this adventure through six books of court intrigue, ancient secrets, and world-altering revelations. Sullivan's accessible prose and beloved characters offer a welcome rest for readers weary of grimdark.

### **The Bloodsworn Saga** by John Gwynne
Completed in 2024, this Norse-inspired trilogy delivers Viking fantasy at its finest. In a world where dead gods' bones litter the landscape and their descendants carry monstrous powers, three warriors—Orka, Varg, and Elvar—pursue vengeance, freedom, and glory. Gwynne, a real-life Viking reenactor, writes combat with unmatched visceral authenticity.

### **Realm of the Elderlings** by Robin Hobb
For the reader who wishes to truly disappear into another world for months rather than weeks, Hobb's magnificent opus awaits. Beginning with the Farseer Trilogy and its protagonist FitzChivalry Farseer, this interconnected world spans decades of story. Hobb's character work is extraordinary—you shall feel these people's joys and sorrows as though they were your own.

### **The First Law** by Joe Abercrombie
For readers who prefer their fantasy dark, bloody, and wickedly funny, Abercrombie delivers. His characters are morally questionable, his world is brutal, and yet somehow you cannot help but be utterly entertained. The torturer Glokta remains one of fantasy's most memorable antiheroes.

### **The Broken Earth Trilogy** by N.K. Jemisin
This trilogy achieved what no other had done before—each book won the Hugo Award for Best Novel, making Jemisin the first author to win three consecutive years.

## The Bloodsworn Saga - Completed in 2024

The Fury of the Gods is the action-packed concluding volume to Gwynne's—quite likely—most popular series, The Bloodsworn Saga.

### The Three Books:

It was not until the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 that Gwynne sat down to write The Fury of the Gods. He was anxious about it, as he had not written a word since April 2021, but once he started writing it was like the dam bursting. Going back to the world of the Bloodsworn felt like being reunited with old friends, and by April 2024 The Fury of the Gods was finished.

### Reception:
The Bloodsworn is one of the most beloved series in recent years, and The Fury of the Gods is described as "a resounding ending to The Bloodsworn" that "remains an exceptional fantasy book that finishes out an even more exceptional series."

Based on the search results, here's what I found about **Super Powereds** by Drew Hayes:

## Series Completion Status
Super Powereds is Book 1 of 4 in the Super Powereds web-novel series.(no content)Super Powereds: Year 4 is described as "The final year at Lander", indicating the main series is complete. There's also a spin-off called "Corpies" set in the same universe.

## Genre Classification
This series is often shelved as a progression fantasy, which is how many readers came to find it. It's listed on a Progression Fantasy & LitRPG Database, though importantly, **Super Powereds is NOT a LitRPG with game mechanics**. 

## What It Actually Is
The book follows five students at a superhero college and their attempt to graduate the first year superhero program. This book is ninety percent 'slice of life' and ten percent fantastical action.(no content)Super Powereds is the story of five young people with abilities they cannot control, called "Powereds" by society. They are approached by a company claiming they have a new procedure to turn Powereds into Supers, people who can control their abilities at will. The offers are true, and now each of the new Supers has enrolled at Lander University to participate in the Hero Certification Course.

**Key Distinction**: While it features character progression (students developing their powers through training), it does **not** have traditional LitRPG game mechanics like stats, levels, experience points, or system notifications. It's a superhero academy story with progression elements, not a game-world setting.

Alternatives I Considered But Didn't Include


What I Avoided and Why


Do you want me to adjust any of these? I can swap recommendations, provide more detail on specific series, or research alternatives if something doesn't appeal.

These seem great. However, you seem to have focused on darkness and violence perhaps a little too much. What most interests me about these stories is the progression and the magic system. I'm a game developer who likes making build-heavy games, so I like stories where there are lots of powers, or lots of interesting ways in which powers happen following a central system that is either well-defined OR interesting (I'm not bound to only hard magic systems). Can you try recommend 12 more stories, different than these ones, but more focused on these ideas? Progression, interesting magic system/power variety. Darkness is not necessary, I'm simply open to it. I'm fine with slice of life, or whatever else, as long as it's interesting. Any questions? Give me a turn before starting your research.

Good clarification. That shifts the focus significantly — from tone to mechanics. A few questions:

  1. Authors I already mentioned — Should I avoid all their other works too? For instance, Sanderson has Stormlight Archive (more complex magic, multiple power systems), Warbreaker (interesting Breath-based magic), Elantris (programming-like magic). Same with Brent Weeks' Lightbringer (color-based drafting system, very build-oriented). Or would you consider those since they're different series?

  2. Academy/school settings — These often have the most explicit progression and power variety (think students learning different magical disciplines). Are you interested in these, or burnt out on them?

  3. Cultivation density — You already have Cradle and I recommended A Thousand Li and Street Cultivation. Do you want more cultivation series (there are many with interesting power variations), or would you prefer variety in the types of magic systems?

  4. Superpowers/non-traditional fantasy — Since you liked The Perfect Run and are open to non-fantasy, would superhero-style stories with power variety interest you? (e.g., Super Powereds has students with different powers training together)

  1. No, don't avoid an authors other works, but avoid Brandon Sanderson specifically, and try to go for slightly less popular series instead of the super most popular ones.
  2. I'm fine with them.
  3. You can recommend a few, but not too many.
  4. Yes, though, I dislike stories with super powers where the question of "why don't people with super powers just destroy society?" isn't answered properly. In Shin Sekai Yori that question is answered properly. In The Perfect Run that question is answered less properly, but it's still a somewhat constant tension. This needs to be taken seriously and I don't like stories that skim over this issue.

Any further questions? Give me a turn before researching.

Good clarifications. One more:

The societal question — This "why don't powered people destroy society?" concern also applies to fantasy (why don't archmages just rule everything?). Should I prioritize stories that take this seriously even in traditional fantasy settings? Or is this specifically a superhero-genre concern for you, and in fantasy you're more willing to suspend disbelief about social structures?

I am more open to the question not being answered directly in fantasy than in the superhero genre. You may proceed with the research. ultrathink

Here are the search results for fantasy books with multiple magic types, power paths, and character builds:

## Key Recommendations

### Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Series
The primary type of magic used by the characters in the Mistborn books is Allomancy, wherein a genetically gifted user can swallow and "burn" a specific type of metal to temporarily gain a specific supernatural ability. There are 16 different types of metal Allomancers can use, each of which grants a certain power. Most Allomancers can only burn one kind of metal, and are known as "Mistings." However, the rare "Mistborn" can burn all types of metals.(no content)Sanderson also introduces two more magical disciplines: Feruchemy and Hemalurgy. The former is based on drawing magical power from oneself (after storing it over time) while the second, more dangerous type is drawing power from someone else.

### The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
The magic system at its core has people manipulate the Aristotelian elements: fire, earth, water, air, and spirit. It's the limitation of practitioners having to draw forth threads of these elements and weave the different powers into complicated patterns that keeps things truly fascinating.

### Tarrin Kael's Sennendar Universe
This has 4 different types of magic. Sorcery: Imagine the world is filled in an imaginary spider web encompassing everything (mana). A sorcerer is capable of 'pulling apart' a weave and finding the different elements within. To cast spells the MC has to 'weave' together in certain patterns etc. It also includes Druidic magic, Wizardry, and Priest magic.

### The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss
There is a parallel Fae realm, which leads to the definition of the series' two types of magic: the academic kind taught at universities and the more enigmatic kind that is only practiced by the Fae.

### Circle of Magic by Tamora Pierce
In this world, there are two types of mages: academic mages, who hone their magic through book learning, and ambient mages, who draw power from more pragmatic crafts and skills. The series follows four children who discover they have ambient magic.

### The Grimnoir Chronicles
This book series posits an interesting combination of a super power system and a magic system that tie into the same source: a cosmic extradimensional entity that feeds supernatural powers to people on Earth.(no content)The powers operate with most magicians being people who possess one of several basic super powers, each following along a category of the fundamental forces. Gravity, mass control, and intangibility are in one branch, while fire, ice and lightning are in another, there's body control, psychic powers, and summoning powers all in their own categories.

### Other Notable Mentions

- The Name of the Wind and its sequel The Wise Man's Fear are described as "good coming of age series with magic involved."
- The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb is a "very well written coming on age story with likeable main character(s) with magical powers. Dragons too."
- The Abhorsen/The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix and The Belgariad, Kingkiller Chronicles and Wheel of Time have the MCs discovering they have magical abilities.

Based on the search results, here are some excellent fantasy series with hard/complex magic systems that aren't by Brandon Sanderson and are completed:

## Completed Series with Hard Magic Systems

### **The Lightbringer Series** by Brent Weeks
Readers hoping for a similar approach to magic should give Brent Weeks' *The Black Prism* a try. Its light-based magic system bears similarities to Mistborn's.(no content)The Black Prism kicks off Weeks' Lightbringer series, which scales up to become nearly as epic as Sanderson's best stories. (5 books, completed)

### **The Broken Earth Trilogy** by N.K. Jemisin
The Broken Earth trilogy is set in a broken world that's still in decline, bearing a resemblance to Mistborn Era 1's setup. Jemisin's writing style is distinct, and it has enough in common with Sanderson's books to appeal to fans looking for detailed world-building.(no content)The award-winning Broken Earth books by N.K. Jemisin deftly tackle heavy concepts and are set on a world riddled by earthquakes and climate change.

### **The Green Bone Saga** by Fonda Lee
Readers hoping to experience great action in another fantasy book should give Fonda Lee's *Jade City* a chance, as its use of jade feels reminiscent of Mistborn's metal-based system. (3 books, completed)

### **The Powder Mage Trilogy** by Brian McClellan
Civil unrest cripples the citizens of Adro in the aftermath of the revolution. Field Marshal Tamas and his lieutenants must confront the true cost of freedom in book one of the Powder Mage Trilogy. (3 books, completed)

### **The Poppy War Trilogy** by R.F. Kuang
R.F. Kuang's grimdark military fantasy trilogy utilizes an innovative magic system based on harnessing powers from psychedelic substances and martial arts techniques. (3 books, completed)

### **The Wheel of Time** by Robert Jordan (finished by Sanderson)
An epic series known for its detailed and imaginary world—not to mention a well-developed magic system. Jordan developed an entire mythology that attributes the creation of the universe to a deity, along with cultures, histories, magical powers, and struggles between good and evil. (14 books, completed)

### **Realm of the Elderlings** by Robin Hobb
If you love epic fantasy that's slow, contemplative and character-driven, you'll love the Farseer books. The series features two forms of magic—the Skill (telepathy used to manipulate emotions and heal) and the Wit (bonding with animals). It follows Fitz, the bastard son of a prince trained as an assassin. (16 books across 5 sub-series, completed)

### **The Ending Fire Trilogy** by Saara El-Arifi

## Completed Series

### **Cradle** by Will Wight
This popular and highly regarded progression fantasy series follows Lindon, a lowly "unsouled" youth deemed worthless by his society due to his lack of magic. In this world, magic is everything, and those who possess it are considered superior. However, Lindon refuses to give up and embarks on a journey to become a powerful fighter.(no content)The series is known for its imaginative world-building, intricate magic system, and engaging characters. The magic system is based on the manipulation of vital aura, a type of energy that flows through all living things.(no content)This is considered the most accessible progression fantasy series for newcomers, often referred to as "book crack" because once you start reading, it's extremely hard to put down.

### **Mother of Learning** by Domagoj Kurmaic
Zorian, a young mage, becomes trapped in a time loop, forcing him to relive the same month over and over. Using his knowledge and experience, Zorian trains, improves his magical skills, and unravels a greater mystery surrounding the loop. With its brilliant concept, steady progression, and intricate plot, it delivers a unique take on progression fantasy.(no content)This incredibly long and complete web-novel consists of 108 chapters that just gets consistently better as it goes on. Best of all, it's completely free on Royal Road!

### **Mage Errant** by John Bierce
Follows Hugh of Emblin, a struggling mage-in-training who discovers hidden potential under the mentorship of an eccentric teacher. Set within a magical academy, Hugh must navigate dangerous trials, unexpected enemies, and mysteries surrounding his own abilities. What sets this series apart is the imaginative world-building, strong character development, and unique magical "Labyrinth."(no content)This series is filled with a great cast of characters, a unique magic system, dungeon crawling, and lots of training. Great character building, fun action sequences, and huge monsters with a splash of romance.

### **Delvers LLC** by Blaise Corvin
Falls into the LitRPG category with a dedicated fanbase. Plus, it's a completed series, which is always a bonus.

---

## Ongoing (But Highly Recommended)

### **Arcane Ascension / Sufficiently Advanced Magic** by Andrew Rowe
Follows Corin Cadence, a young man determined to climb a magical tower to discover the truth about his brother's disappearance. Corin receives a magical "attunement" that allows him to channel power. Rowe expertly combines a LitRPG-style progression system with an intricate magic academy setting.(no content)This series is known for detailed enchanting and artifact creation. Characters progress through magical engineering, where carefully built systems drive advancement using crafting inscriptions and runes that obey strict logic.

### **Dungeon Crawler Carl** by Matt Dinniman
The magic system is unpredictable and evolves as Carl progresses through dungeon floors. Magic is tied to the dungeon itself, manifesting as skills, abilities, and items. What makes it unique is the sheer variety and often absurd nature of these magical elements—from summoning ghostly ducks to creating fields of killer muffins.

Here's what I found about **Worm** by Wildbow:

## Overview

Worm is a self-published web serial by John C. "Wildbow" McCrae and the first installment of the Parahumans series, known for subverting and playing with common tropes and themes of superhero fiction.(no content)It features a bullied teenage girl, Taylor Hebert, who develops the superpower to control worms, insects, arachnids, and other simple lifeforms. Using a combination of ingenuity, idealism, and brutality, she struggles to do the right thing in a dark world filled with moral ambiguity.

## Completion Status

Worm finished in November of 2013. A polished version is in the works for print/ebook release.(no content)It was first published as an online serial with two to three chapters released every week, beginning in June 2011 and continuing until November 2013, totaling approximately 1,682,400 words.

## Powers and Society's Destruction

Set in an alternate universe where superpowers have begun to appear in people since the 1980s, the series follows parahumans as they contend with the societal impacts their sometimes miraculous, more often than not nightmarish powers have on the world. Special focus is placed on the hero-villain dichotomy, and the Black-and-Grey Morality that ensues from making necessary compromises to stop far worse threats. The series is infamous for its dark themes and content, with both books heavily exploring the nature of trauma: powers manifest from "trigger events," which are deeply traumatic and stressful events in one's life.(no content)It is revealed late into the story that the thing giving all of the superheroes and supervillains their powers is an Eldritch Abomination, part of a species that ranges throughout the universe giving sapient species powers to get ideas for what they are capable of before killing everyone on the planet.

## Consequences Theme

Worm could basically be called "Everything You Like About Superheroes is Bad," with the entire genre savaged. Heroic and villainous organizations, the effect constant super powered fights have on society, character archetypes, binary moralities, and ultimately why there are superpowers, are given very thorough, cynical explanations for their existence and consequences.(no content)All of this gets worse when it's revealed that the Big Good, Scion, is actually a malevolent alien that spread powers as part of its reproduction cycle, set to end with the complete destruction of all Earths throughout the multiverse. He's stopped by the end of Worm, but the destruction of the old society leaves villains with more freedom than ever before.

## Sequel

A sequel, titled Ward, was published from November 2017 to May 2020.

Here's what I found about Andrew Rowe's interconnected fantasy series:

## Series Overview

All of Andrew Rowe's major series (The War of Broken Mirrors, Weapons and Wielders, The Lost Edge, and Arcane Ascension) take place in the same universe.

### The War of Broken Mirrors
The War of Broken Mirrors is the most serious series. It is written from a third-person limited perspective with multiple perspective characters. The series focuses more on political intrigue and subterfuge than the others.(no content)Some inspirations for this series include Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker and the many various Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance novels.(no content)It takes place on the continent of Mythralis where dominion sorcery is the primary form of magic.(no content)This series is finished, however there are still plot threads in the series which are not yet done. Some elements of the story continue in Weapons and Wielders.

### Weapons and Wielders
Weapons and Wielders is the most straightforward and lighthearted series, focusing on action, comedy, and adventure. It follows Keras Selyrian, a powerful swordsman, as he searches for the Six Sacred Swords – and gets a lot more than he bargained for in the process.(no content)Some of the main inspirations for this series are The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Ys.(no content)This series is still ongoing. The current plan is for Weapons and Wielders to last 6-7 books.(no content)Rowe is currently working on Weapons & Wielders 4.

### Magic System
Within The War of Broken Mirrors, you'll see a variety of practitioners of magic, mostly in the form of Dominion Sorcery. The goal is that the reader should be able to understand how this system works and attempt to anticipate the ways in which the protagonists – and antagonists – may use their abilities.(no content)Forging Divinity introduced readers to the continent of Mythralis, to careful schemers like Lydia Hastings, and to the idea that magic should always come with clear costs.

### Reading Order
The War of Broken Mirrors is first chronologically. Weapons & Wielders happens right after that, with the exception of the frame story.(no content)Arcane Ascension happens about nine years after the main story of Weapons & Wielders.(no content)If you prefer more traditional fantasy, start with the War of Broken Mirrors. If you love magical schools and/or really detailed magic systems work, start with Arcane Ascension. If you want something lighter and faster paced, start with Weapons and Wielders.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about Worm audiobooks:

## Fan-Made Worm Audiobooks

### The Worm Audiobook Project (Complete)
After two years in production, the Worm Audiobook is finally complete. The Worm Audiobook Project is the combined effort of a small team of fans to produce a full unabridged audiobook of the Worm story.(no content)This is a fan-made work to increase exposure to the excellent story that is Worm. They are in no way affiliated with J.C. McCrae (Wildbow) and have no rights to the source material.

You can find this at: https://audioworm.rein-online.org/

### Worm: The Full-Cast Audiobook (Ongoing)
Migration Broadcasting presents an unofficial, fan-made full cast audiobook of Worm, by Wildbow, aka J.C. McCrae. This version is available on multiple platforms:

- Available on Apple Podcasts as a Books Podcast series by Migration Broadcasting.
- Also available on Spotify

One review mentions: "A few episodes in, and I am already a huge fan of this project; Maia Harlap is an incredibly expressive voice actress and makes a wonderful Taylor. I would heartily recommend this to any and all fans of Worm and Wildbow's work in general."

### Ward Audiobook (Sequel) on Audible
From the same people who brought you the Worm Audiobook Project comes the fan-made audiobook conversion of the ongoing web serial Ward by J.C. McCrae (Wildbow).(no content)This story is a direct continuation of Worm. If you haven't already read or listened to Worm it is highly recommended that you do so before beginning Ward.

**Note:** There doesn't appear to be an official commercial audiobook of Worm on Audible—these are all fan-produced projects.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about **Forge of Destiny** by Yrsillar:

## Overview
"Forge of Destiny" is a mixture of the newer genre of progression fantasy with older mythological themes and a strong focus on the people behind the powers. Originally a mix between a forum game and a CYOA novel, which became a web serial and then published books.

## Story Premise
In the Celestial Empire, a land ruled by Immortals and stalked by Spirits and Beasts, a young girl from the slums of an unimportant city is found to have the Talent that may allow her to become an Immortal herself. Sent to the storied Argent Peak Sect to harness her talent, she must work desperately to catch up to peers who have been preparing to walk the Way for years.

## Completion Status

The status depends on which version you're looking at:

- **Original Quest (Sufficient Velocity):** The original forum quest on Sufficient Velocity started on Jan 22, 2017 and has a status of "Complete" with 388 threadmarks and approximately 589k words.

- **Royal Road Rewrite:** The Royal Road version is listed as "ONGOING" with tags including Cultivation, Female Lead, Slice of Life, Drama, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Magic, and Martial Arts.(no content)It updates Mondays and Thursdays.

- **Published Books:** The series has over 31 million views as a web-serial, with revised and re-edited definitive editions available. At least 3 volumes have been published in the "Destiny Cycle: Forge of Destiny" series.

- **Continuing Story:** There is also a current forum game continuing the story, though "there'll be a lot of catch up to do if you want to participate."

## Reception
The story of Ling Qi is considered engaging from the start with top notch world building. Yrsillar manages to keep cultivation concepts fresh by giving them a certain gravitas rarely present in other works.

Based on the search results, here are some progression fantasy recommendations with unique magic systems that came up in recent discussions:

## Popular & Well-Regarded Series

Will Wight's **Cradle** series follows Lindon, a young man born "unsouled" in a society where magical power defines your place in the world. What makes Cradle stand out is its intricate magic system, breakneck pacing, and Lindon's constant struggle to push beyond his limits.(no content)**Mother of Learning** by Domagoj Kurmaic is an incredibly long and complete web novel (108 chapters) featuring time loops and lots of training. This story is best to go in completely blind, and it's completely free on Royal Road!

## More Unique/Underrated Picks

**Millennial Mage** is really good, a mix of progression, slice of life, and action. Despite the name, it's actually a totally unique world with unique magic and themes of being burdened by debt and dealing with a world that education didn't prepare you for.(no content)**Reborn as a Demonic Tree** by Xkarnation features a guy reborn into the body of a tree in a cultivation universe. Good for LitRPG or Cultivation fans looking for something different, though the tree basically has a gacha-style system.(no content)**Our Comeback Tour is Slaying Monsters** by Kim Smuga-Otto is described as "imagine N*SYNC broke up, got back together, and got joint isekaid into a fantasy world." It's hard mode for "Published in 2024" as it's the author's first book!(no content)**All the Dust that Falls** by Zaifyr features an isekai Roomba growing in strength and power. It has a silly premise but plays it relatively straight—good for readers looking for cozy books.(no content)**Knightmare Arcanist** is set in a unique world where everyone gains magical powers based on the mythical creature they bond to. Volke Savan bonds with a creature of shadow—a knightmare—and learns that his magic progresses based on training and spiritual cultivation.(no content)For more recommendations, r/Fantasy Reddit publishes a yearly reading bingo sheet at https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1bt4iqf/official_rfantasy_2024_book_bingo_challenge/ — checking r/LitRPG or r/ProgressionFantasy new releases threads is especially helpful for finding newer titles.

Here's what I found about the magic system and jade powers in Fonda Lee's **Jade City** (The Green Bone Saga):

## Overview of the Magic System

At its heart, the saga is an epic tale of power, legacy, and familial bonds, all enriched by a unique magic system where jade, a precious stone, bestows its bearers with incredible powers.

## How Jade Works

Kekon contains the world's only supply of jade, a mineral that endows its wearer with enhanced abilities.(no content)Safe use of jade requires a combination of genetic predisposition and intense training in the six jade disciplines.

### Genetic Requirements

The aboriginal population of Kekon, the Abukei, are completely immune to its effects, while individuals from outside Kekon are too sensitive to it. Only the Kekonese, with mixed aboriginal and settler ancestry, have the necessary combination of resistance and sensitivity to be able to use it long-term.

### Training and Cost

A combination of magic and martial arts, it is the kind of magic that exacts a price. Using it drains energy, which is why you have to be trained before you can use jade, and why only the most powerful Green Bone Warriors wear a lot of jade on their body.(no content)The rules governing its use and the consequences of overuse are meticulously detailed, making it feel real and tangible.

## Balance and Vulnerability

Having power from Jade makes you vulnerable and no one felt overpowered. This was very grounded where anyone can get killed by a bomb, car crash, falling rubble, gun shots, knife wound, etc.

## The Drug "Shine"

When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone — even foreigners — wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence.

## Beware of Chicken Audiobook Series

Here's what I found about the **Beware of Chicken** audiobook series:

### Overview
"A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about...farming????"(no content)The first volume of the blockbuster progression-fantasy series has more than 16 million views on Royal Road and is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible.

### The Story
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator—a man powerful enough to defy the heavens, a master of martial arts, a lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now the narrator is stuck in his body.(no content)It's a great xianxia cultivation novel with a unique take on the genre—the MC recognizes the world he's been reborn into and decides he wants nothing to do with the cultivator BS, so he goes off to be a farmer. It's a light and heartwarming story.

### Audiobook Availability
The series currently has **5 audiobooks** available:

| Book | Publisher | Narrator |
|------|-----------|----------|
| Book 1 | Podium Audio (2022) | Travis Baldree |

| Book 3 | Podium Audio (2023) | Travis Baldree |
| Book 4 | Podium Audio (2024) | Travis Baldree |
| Book 5 | Podium Audio (2025) | Travis Baldree |

### Reception
This title has been one of the highest rated stories on Royal Road for good reason, offering a delightful twist on Xianxia tropes, a relatable and refreshing MC who just wants a tranquil life, a large supporting cast, and masterful pacing.(no content)Can't forget Travis Baldree's usual fantastic performance either.

### Series Status
Readers are hoping the next book is released soon, indicating the series is still ongoing and not yet complete.

Here's what I found about **Super Powereds** by Drew Hayes:

## Overview

Super Powereds explores this idea in a four book series.(no content)It's the story of five young people with abilities they cannot control, called "Powereds" by society.

## The Premise

A small percentage of the world is born with special abilities. Of those, Supers are people who can control their abilities, while Powereds are people who cannot.(no content)For every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings, Powereds as they are called, have always been treated as burdens and second class citizens.

## The Story

The five are approached by a company claiming they have a new procedure to turn Powereds into Supers. The offers are true, and now each of the new Supers has enrolled at Lander University to participate in the Hero Certification Course.(no content)Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.(no content)Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must guard from even their classmates.

## Main Characters

The six main characters (Alice, Mary, Vince, Nick, Hershel, and Roy) are the first Powereds to be turned into Supers by a top secret experimental process.

## Themes & Reception

Here's what I found about the Green Bone Saga trilogy and its final book, *Jade Legacy*:

## Overview

*Jade Legacy* is a 2021 fantasy novel by Fonda Lee, published by Orbit on November 30, 2021. It is the third and final novel in The Green Bone Saga, which began with *Jade City* (2017).

## The Trilogy

The three books in the series are *Jade City*, *Jade War*, and *Jade Legacy*. The series tells the tale of the Kaul family of No Peak Clan, specifically Kaul Hilo, his sister Shae, and their extended families.(no content)Fonda Lee is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling fantasy and science fiction author. Her modern epic, the Green Bone Saga, has been translated into fifteen languages and was named one of Time magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time.

## What Makes Jade Legacy Unique

In 2020, Lee revealed that *Jade Legacy* would take place over the span of 20 years.(no content)The story begins a few months after the end of *Jade War*, and the entirety spans more than two decades with multiple time skips. This is not an easy feat to do—the final book of a series usually doesn't do this.

## Critical Acclaim

*Jade Legacy* won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 2022.(no content)The book received critical acclaim ahead of its release, earning a starred review and weekly pick status from Publishers Weekly, a starred review from Library Journal, and a glowing review from NPR's book reviews.(no content)"Blood, loyalty, and lives are gained and lost in the powerful finale of the 'Green Bone Saga.' Lee's series will stand as a pillar of epic fantasy and family drama."—Library Journal (starred review)

## Additional Content

There is also a short story collection called *Jade Shards*, which has been confirmed to be the final set of new stories in the world of The Green Bone Saga.

## TV Adaptation

In August 2020, Deadline announced that a TV series based on *Jade City* was being developed at Peacock, with Lee serving as a consulting producer.

Here's what I found about the chromaturgy magic system in Brent Weeks' Lightbringer series:

## Overview of Chromaturgy

Chromaturgy literally means "color working" and usually refers to drafting, but technically also covers the study of luxins and will.(no content)The series revolves around the magical principle of chromaturgy, where light is harnessed to create 'Luxin.'

## How Drafting Works

Those who use this magic are called 'drafters'; a drafter is able to transform a color of light into a physical substance within their body. Each color luxin has its own properties, but the uses of those building blocks are as boundless as a drafter's imagination and skill.(no content)Many drafters carry delicate and expensive colored spectacles so that if their color isn't available where they stand, they can still use magic.

## Types of Drafters

Most drafters are monochromes: they are able to draft only one color. Drafters who can draft two colors well enough to create stable luxin in both colors are called 'bichromes.' Anyone who can draft solid luxin in three or more colors is called a 'polychrome.'(no content)A full-spectrum polychrome is one who can draft all seven colors in the visible spectrum. A Prism is always a full-spectrum polychrome.(no content)The Prism has the unique ability to "split light," allowing them to use magic more efficiently than ordinary drafters.

## Superchromats

A Superchromat is one who has greater-than-usual ability to distinguish between fine variations of color. Superchromacy in any color will result in more stable drafting, but it is most helpful in drafting yellow. Only superchromat yellow drafters can hope to draft solid yellow luxin.

## The Spectrum of Colors

The magic system is based on 7 primary colors, each with slightly different attributes.(no content)Different colors of Luxin represent various aspects and abilities, such as sub-red Luxin representing destruction and heat.

### Outer-Spectrum Colors
For more than four hundred years, knowledge of outer-spectrum colors (paryl and chi) was suppressed by the Chromeria. Paryl exists far below sub-red on the spectrum; chi is equally far above superviolet.

### Special Luxins

Here's what I found about R.F. Kuang's *The Poppy War* trilogy and its shamanism magic system:

Kuang. *The Poppy War* was published in 2018, and is a grimdark fantasy with a plot that draws on politics from mid-20th-century China, with the conflict based on the Second Sino-Japanese War and an atmosphere inspired by the Song dynasty.(no content)The sequel, *The Dragon Republic*, was released in August 2019, and the third book, *The Burning God*, was released November 2020.

She is taught by Jiang how to access the magic of the gods via meditation and psychedelic drugs.(no content)Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism.

But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity.

## Themes Across the Trilogy

After committing an atrocity in battle, shamanic warrior Rin is consumed with guilt, an opium addiction, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix god.(no content)In the final book, after saving Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress in a brutal civil war, Rin's power and influence grows—but so does the Phoenix's intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it.(no content)The trilogy is praised for its "Complex Characters • Unique Magic System • Immersive Worldbuilding • Historical Parallels."

Here's what I found about the Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick and its magic systems:

## The Trilogy

M.A. Carrick is the joint pen name of Marie Brennan (author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent) and Alyc Helms (author of the Adventures of Mr. Mystic). The Mask of Mirrors is the first book in their Rook & Rose trilogy.(no content)The complete trilogy consists of The Mask of Mirrors, The Liar's Knot, and Labyrinth's Heart.

## Magic Systems

Entwined with the cultures are the magic systems, which include the Numinatria, which is based around sacred geometry and using numbers to achieve effects, and Pattern, which is a kind of Tarot-like fortune-telling system.

### Numinatria

Numinatria is a structured, ritual magic system used by the Liganti that draws inspiration from sacred geometry and numerology (and, tangentially, astrology). Each number from 0 to 10 has a portfolio of associated meanings that, when inscribed, channel the divine energy of the cosmos to create particular effects. Think of it almost like a magical circuit-board, with the numina (the numbers) as the code that tells the energy what to do.(no content)For all that numinatria is a divine magic (powered by the Liganti godhead, the Lumen), it reflects the Liganti worldview that the cosmos is a place of structure, order, and rationality. That makes it a nice contrast for the intuitive, divinatory magic of the Vraszenians.(no content)Co-author Alyc Helms developed numinatria using basic drafting tools (compass, chalk, and edge) to craft the various geometric figures that form the basis of numinatria, even ordering custom golden mean calipers from Australia to more easily draw the spira aurea (golden spiral) that is the framework for numinatrian workings.

### Pattern Magic

There's also numinatria, a geometry-based magic and a form of tarot magic known as "pattern reading."(no content)The pattern deck from the Rook and Rose series was successfully Kickstarted and fans can pre-order the deck along with other goodies like enamel pins and numinatrian horoscopes.

## Additional Resources

The world is so complex that the authors set up a private wiki to keep track of details. It grew to be 190K words, making it essentially the fourth book of the series.(no content)The wiki is now publicly available courtesy of wiki.gg.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about the Traveler's Gate magic system by Will Wight:

## Overview of the Magic System

Traveler's Gate explores a unique magic system that involves fighting through dangerous mystical realms to gain powers.(no content)A "traveler" is a person who has access to the powers of realms outside the normal world known as "Territories".

## Territories

There are currently 11 known Territories that people can travel to in the world of the Traveler's Gate.(no content)Those who acquire power from the Territories are known as Travelers. Travelers attuned to these Territories are able to summon mystical powers from their Territory.(no content)Each Territory has an overarching philosophy or purpose that the Territory and its natural denizens try to pass onto the Travelers. These philosophies are passed to the Travelers by granting access to powers once they internalize specific aspects of the overarching philosophy.

### Known Territories Include:

**Asphodel (Gardens of Mist):**
Unlike Avernus, the denizens of Asphodel are primarily plants. The powers of Asphodel revolve around the native plants and the Mist, a pervasive psychic entity that feeds on all emotions, especially fear.

**Avernus (Feathered Plains):**
The powers of Avernus center around the psychic capabilities of the native birds. Avernus travelers psychically bond with their birds forming incredibly close, and often familial relationships.(no content)The most well-known power of Avernus is the ability of some birds to see the future.

**Ragnarus (Crimson Vault):**
Ragnarus works on pain and sacrifice; blood is the most common medium of gaining what you want. The Hanging Trees that require nine lives every year are the most famous.

**Valinhall:**
The cloaks Valinhall Travelers receive from the Nye, when used in conjunction with the Nye essence, make the Travelers very difficult to perceive with any Territory powers.

**Elysia:**
Alin is Eliadel, a natural-born Traveler of Elysia, the most powerful of Territories.

He wants nothing more than to live normal life as a researcher, but if Henry's true nature is revealed, he'll be killed. To top it all off, Damien's teacher is a madman from the front lines of war, his alcoholic dean suspects something is awry with his companion, and Blackmist might possibly be the worst school in history.

## Genre & Style

Readers enjoyed the gradual release of mysteries related to the new little universe Actus created.

## Later Book Elements

With Void magic pumping through his veins, Damien is far from the scared student that first arrived at Blackmist. Mountain Hall is about to find out just how powerful he's become.

The search results don't provide extensive details specifically about how the magic system works mechanically, but indicate it features Void magic and has LitRPG progression elements within a magic school setting.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about the Frith Chronicles by Shami Stovall:

## Frith Chronicles Series Status

The Frith Chronicles is an 8-book series. The books in order are: Knightmare Arcanist (2019), Dread Pirate Arcanist (2019), Coliseum Arcanist (2020), Plague Arcanist (2020), World Serpent Arcanist (2020), Arcanist Fables (2021) as book 5.5, Warlord Arcanist (2021), Master Arcanist (2022), and Grandmaster Arcanist (2023).

The series appears to be complete with **Grandmaster Arcanist** as the final main book.

## About Death Lord Arcanist

Important clarification: **Death Lord Arcanist** is actually Book 4 of the **Astra Academy** series, not the Frith Chronicles. It's a separate series set in the same "Frith Universe." Characters from previous series appear in it.(no content)Readers "can't wait for the next installment of this series", indicating Astra Academy is still ongoing.

## Future Plans

The author has stated: "I'm so glad you've enjoyed the Frith Chronicles. I probably will do more stories in the universe! But for right now, I'm focused on finishing Astra Academy."(no content)Elder Arcanist, the 6th book of Astra Academy, is supposed to be the last one in that series. However, as the author has proven with Frith Chronicles, Astra Academy, and the Crown Tournament trilogy, this world has lots of room for more stories.

So to summarize: The **Frith Chronicles** is complete, while **Astra Academy** (which includes Death Lord Arcanist) is still ongoing with at least 2 more books planned.

## Story Description
The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within their ever-dying cities. Mages create the only path forward.(no content)Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a path to power that was her own. She knows it's her duty to use that power to serve humanity, defending them against the creatures of the untamable wilds. However, she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Now, Tala has to balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Magic Academy dropped on her shoulders for the opportunity; not to mention staying alive. Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage.

## Audiobook Information

- Book 1 has a listening length of 15 hours and 56 minutes, with the author listed as J.L. Mullins and narrator Tess Irondale, with an Audible release date of April 17, 2023.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about the Super Powereds universe and its government regulation of heroes:

## Department of Variant Human Affairs (DVA)

The Department of Variant Human Affairs is the governmental body within the United States responsible for overseeing many aspects of Supers.(no content)The DVA is the governmental organization tasked with overseeing the hero world, hero training, and everything involved with regulating the existence and use of heroes.

## Hero Certification and Licensing

In Super Powereds, a registration system is present although no one seems to have a problem with it. This is necessary in order to provide Heroes with Hero Insurance. However, only Heroes are required to register with the government—regular Supers and Powereds don't have to.(no content)The government sponsors those Supers wishing to enroll in the Hero Certification Program at several universities and sets up rigorous standards that a prospective Hero must meet in order to be certified. It's stated that less than ten out of the original class of several dozen make it through all four years of training. They either drop out or don't make the cut, ensuring that only the best of the best become Heroes.(no content)Shortly after the outing of Supers by Captain Starlight in 1957, the Hero Certification Program was created so that the government would be able to use Supers in protecting the people with proper training and qualification without being held liable for incidental damages caused in their line of work.

## Ongoing Oversight and Regulation

Although heroes, upon graduation, are no longer liable for damages caused in performing their duties, they are still subject to oversight. There are also certain conditions a hero has to meet in order to continue their work and keep their status as a hero.(no content)Upon graduation, Heroes are still subject to oversight. This includes a two-year internship, colloquially referred to as "side-kicking" under a Hero who has worked in the field for no less than ten years. At the end of this period, the intern Hero will be evaluated to determine if they are capable of working on their own, or if more training is required.(no content)All Heroes are evaluated by and report to the Department of Variant Human Affairs (DVA). They are required to undergo regular health-checks, be debriefed and counseled after violent encounters, and report for questioning when excessive civilian lives are lost. The DVA ultimately makes the determination on whether a Hero who is accused of negligence is guilty or not, a sentence that effectively terminates their career.

Here's what I found about the **War of Broken Mirrors** series by Andrew Rowe and its **Dominion Sorcery** magic system:

## Series Overview

The War of Broken Mirrors series, by Andrew Rowe, is a fantasy Sword and Sorcery series. It takes place on the continent of Mythralis where dominion sorcery is the primary form of magic. The series follows the life of Taelien Salaris, Lydia Hastings, and others across the continent.(no content)The series includes three books: Forging Divinity (Book 1), Stealing Sorcery (Book 2), and Defying Destiny (Book 3).

## Dominion Sorcery Magic System

Dominion Sorcery is a system by which spell casters draw from an element in their own bodies to power spells. For example, flame sorcerers use body heat, sight sorcerers use their eyesight, etc.(no content)Sorcerers within the setting utilize Dominions. Some of these are simple elements like Flame. Others are more esoteric, like Sight or Knowledge.(no content)Sorcerers use their own bodies to fuel their sorcery, but their efficiency grows over time, and the cost does not equal the result.(no content)Dominion Sorcery is studied like a science and has predictable results.

## Examples of Dominion Types

- **Knowledge Sorcery**: Lydia was a sorceress specializing in knowledge sorcery, which meant she was capable of extracting knowledge from anything she touched.
- **Protection**: Lydia's tankiness comes from her usage of the Dominion of Protection for powerful shielding sorcery.
- **Metal**: Taelien is a metal sorcerer, meaning he can use sorcery to manipulate metal. Rather than conjuring metal, he modifies existing metal by changing its properties, such as shape and structure.
- **Sight**: Jonan uses Sight Sorcery to create illusions - at the cost of his own eyesight.

## Additional Magic Systems

The magic of this world includes both Dominion and Core magic, and people can have one or both or neither. There are also living Gods and Sorcerers/Sorceresses who roam the Kingdom.

## Author's Intent

The book features practitioners of magic, mostly in the form of Dominion Sorcery. Rowe's goal is that "the reader should be able to understand how this system works and attempt to anticipate the ways in which the protagonists - and antagonists - may use their abilities."(no content)It's the first book in the War Of Broken Mirrors series. Arcane Ascension takes place in the same universe.

Notes on Your Specific Interests

For build-heavy game design inspiration:

For crafting/enchanting:

For power/society dynamics:

For slice-of-life/lighter tone:


Want me to elaborate on any of these, or would you like me to adjust the list based on anything that doesn't appeal?

1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 11 seem to be the most interesting to me. This second list is much more aligned with things I seem to like than the first list. Could you try 12 more? Any questions before proceeding? Give me a turn again before starting.

Good feedback. A few questions to refine my search:

  1. Academy/training settings — Three of your six picks involve academies or structured training (Super Powereds, Beware of Chicken's farm-as-training, The Enchanter). Should I lean into this, or do you want variety in settings?

  2. Tone balance — Your picks skew lighter (only Green Bone Saga has real darkness). Should I mostly avoid grimdark this round, or just deprioritize it?

  3. Crafting/enchanting — You picked The Enchanter specifically. Should I search for more series with crafting as a core element, or was that just one interest among many?

  4. More superhero? — You liked Super Powereds' structured approach. Want me to look for other superhero novels that handle power/society well, or one was enough?

  5. Cultivation density — Beware of Chicken is cultivation-adjacent. How many more cultivation series would you want, if any? (There are several good ones with interesting mechanics I haven't mentioned yet.)

  1. You don't have to lean or avoid, choose based on what you think is best.
  2. Same as previous.
  3. Yes, I kinda like it. I believe the Arcane Ascension protagonist was an Enchanter too, right? And I liked that.
  4. Sure.
  5. Same as answer to 2, 1.

Any further questions? Give me a turn before proceeding.

No further questions. I have a clear picture:

Based on my search, I found several examples of superhero stories featuring government oversight and registration of heroes, though the results primarily cover comic book series rather than prose novels. Here's what I found:

## Super Registration Act Trope

The concept often involves a government-sponsored system "complete with Hero Insurance," though in most cases the law is portrayed as antagonistic, designed to "prohibit superheroes from using their powers recklessly (or usually at all)."

## Notable Comic Series Examples

**Marvel's Civil War:**
After an explosive battle between the New Warriors and Nitro left hundreds dead, Congress introduced the Superhuman Registration Act. Iron Man became the law's biggest supporter, while Captain America strongly objected, leading the heroes of the Marvel Universe to go to war with one another.(no content)The Act enables the government to monitor all powered individuals and is drafted to facilitate the government's licensing and/or employment of individuals who are actively using their powers. The powered individual must fulfill some requirements or meet some criteria before they are allowed to fully use their abilities and gain legal authorization to continue to use their abilities to fight crime.

**Powers (by Bendis & Oeming):**
In the Powers series, superheroes had to register with the government in order to operate. After Super Shock, the world's most trusted superhero, goes on a massive worldwide killing spree, the US government prohibited super-beings from using their powers and operating as superheroes.

**Astro City:**
In Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol. 2 #6-9, the registration of super-humans is mandated by the city's Mayor Stevenson.

Here are some excellent progression fantasy audiobook recommendations with interesting magic systems and build variety:

## Top Recommendations

### **Cradle Series** by Will Wight
The Cradle series follows the story of Lindon, a lowly "unsouled" youth who is deemed worthless by his society due to his lack of magic. In this world, magic is everything, and those who possess it are considered superior to those who don't. However, Lindon refuses to give up and embarks on a journey to become a powerful fighter and prove his worth.(no content)The series is known for its imaginative world-building, intricate magic system, and engaging characters. The magic system is based on the manipulation of vital aura, a type of energy that flows through all living things.

### **Arcane Ascension Series** by Andrew Rowe
This series has a good mix of magic school, dungeon crawling, puzzle-solving, and a hint of RPG elements integrated into the world, for example, a class-like system called "attunements" that each character is bound to.(no content)The series also has an incredible audiobook version narrated by Nick Podehl. It is also part of a greater universe, including the War of Broken Mirrors and the Weapon and Wielders books.

### **Mage Errant Series** by John Bierce
This series is filled with a great cast of characters, a unique magic system, dungeon crawling, and of course, lots and lots of training. If you enjoy great character building, fun action sequences, huge monsters, with a splash of romance, you're sure to enjoy this series.

### **All the Skills**
All the Skills is an epic progression-fantasy story featuring a unique card-based magic system. With a fun and gripping story, a likable main character, great world-building, and an excellent performance by narrator Luke Daniels, this audiobook is well worth a listen.

### **Iron Prince** (Warformed: Stormweaver) by Bryce O'Connor & Luke Chmilenko
This is book 1 in the Warformed: Stormweaver series, sitting at 1112 pages and 33 hours and 55 minutes in audiobook format. Unlike other books, this one is Science Fiction Progression Fantasy, filled with futuristic arena combat, a military academy setting where power is everything, and a protagonist that doesn't know the word "quit".

### **Knightmare Arcanist** by Shami Stovall
Set in a unique world where everyone gains magical powers based on the mythical creature they bond to. Phoenix arcanists have fire and healing, whereas hydra arcanists have poison and regeneration—the stronger the creature, the more amazing the powers. Volke Savan bonds with a creature of shadow—a knightmare—and soon learns that his magic progresses based on his training and spiritual cultivation.

### **He Who Fights with Monsters**
The story of Jason, a man transported into a game-like world, is filled with captivating game mechanics, power-ups, and an array of fascinating creatures. Heath Miller's narration complements Shirtaloon's storytelling, making each level-up, skill gain, and boss fight feel truly momentous.

Based on the search results, here are some notable progression fantasy books featuring crafting, enchanting, and artificer themes:

## Highly Recommended Crafting/Enchanter Series

### **The Enchanter by Tobias Begley**
If you've read the Arcane Ascension series and loved Corin's approach to life, this is highly recommended. Similarly, if you've read Mother of Learning and appreciated Zorian, the same recommendation applies.(no content)The MC, Evander Tailor, is gifted and gets to learn magic at a magic school, where he faces typical school-like problems and some spicier challenges.(no content)The crafting and magic system are big draws, but the human element really takes it home.

### **Arcane Ascension Series (Andrew Rowe)**
A Sandersonian-esque approach to fantasy with labyrinthine towers where young people train to earn magical attunements. The main character's attunement turns out to be Enchanter, similar to the concept in Skyrim.(no content)The Enchanting attunement is somewhat looked down upon by his martial family, as it's deemed too passive and indirect for combat.

### **Arcane Artificer (Dren's Den Book 1)** - Andrew Karevik
In the crafting village of Arthursberg, Dren discovers an Artificer's workshop and is granted the Artificer Class at Level 1, thrust into a world where creativity meets combat.(no content)He must rebuild himself by constructing mechanical limbs, but resources are scarce and the only way to get them is by diving into dungeons.

### **Emerilia Series**
Emerilia is built on MMO-inspired mechanics where forging and building are central to character advancement. Characters progress by crafting weapons, enchanting gear, and managing resources, creating a world that feels alive and player-driven.

### **Knights & Magic**
This is about an artificer who designs new models of magic-powered robots for the kingdom military. There's a lot of focus on R&D, and the protagonist's designs are revolutionary but he needs help from experienced technicians to make them practical.

### **Mage Errant by John Bierce**
This series follows Hugh of Emblin, a struggling mage-in-training who discovers hidden potential under the mentorship of an eccentric teacher. Set within a magical academy with imaginative world-building and a unique magical "Labyrinth."

Based on my search, here's what I found about **Corpies** by Drew Hayes:

## Overview

Corpies is the first spin-off novel from the Super Powereds series by Drew Hayes.(no content)The series reading order is: Super Powereds: Year 1, Super Powereds: Year 2, then the spinoff Corpies, followed by Super Powereds: Year 3 and Year 4.

## Plot Summary

Titan was one of the nation's most loved and respected Heroes, until an infidelity scandal tore his image and family apart. After decades spent out of the limelight, Owen Daniels has decided to take up the mantle of Titan once again to try and make amends for his years away. Unfortunately, the Titan Scandal is still common knowledge, and no Hero team wants such a polarizing figure.(no content)With no other options, Owen is forced to take a job overseeing a group of corpies, corporate-sponsored Supers who do rescue work… as long as there are cameras around. Between a team that doesn't want him, fellow Heroes who don't trust him, and a nation that might not be ready to forgive the sins of the past, the return of Titan could prove even harder than the scandal that drove him away.(no content)A mysterious enemy is attacking Heroes and growing steadily stronger. An enemy that only the once-legendary Titan might be able to stop. If he can manage to stick around this time.

## Series Status

Corpies is listed as Book 5 of 5 in the Super Powereds series on Amazon, though chronologically it takes place between Year 2 and Year 3. "Corpies" is best read between Super Powereds books 2 and 3, as reviewers recommend. It shows the other side of the coin for Supers who don't get into the HCP: the corporate-sponsored heroes who can still help with emergency services but aren't permitted to fight bad guys.

## Author

Drew Hayes graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in English. He is the author of many books, including NPCs and The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant. He lives in Texas.

The Super Powereds main series (Years 1-4) is complete, and Corpies serves as a standalone spinoff that expands the universe.

Here's what I found about the **Grimnoir Chronicles** by Larry Correia:

## Overview
Larry Correia is The New York Times best-selling author of the Grimnoir Chronicles alternate history trilogy.(no content)The Grimnoir Chronicles are a series of books that detail an alternate 1930s where people born with magical abilities called Actives have existed for the last century. Magic began manifesting in 1849.

## The Magic System & Powers
Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something.(no content)The Grimnoir Society's mission is to protect people with magic, and they've done so - successfully and in secret - since the mysterious arrival of the Power in the 1850s.

The main character, Jake Sullivan, possesses raw magical talent and the ability to make objects in his vicinity light as a feather or as heavy as depleted uranium, all with a magical thought.(no content)Jake's talent is gravity spiking.

Another character, Faye, is a young farm girl who can teleport across great distances.(no content)First, we get glimpses and small pieces of information, then more and more and we end up with a pretty complete picture of how the magic works, powers fighting to dominate it, and their motivation. The author had it thought through before he finished the first volume.

## The Complete Trilogy
The three main books are:

1. **Hard Magic** (Book I) - Won the Audie Award for Paranormal in 2012.
2. **Spellbound** (Book II) - Won the Audie Award for Paranormal in 2013.
3. **Warbound** (Book III)

There's also a brand-new Grimnoir Chronicles story written exclusively for Audible, set in 1937 – four years after the Grimnoir Society defeated the magical alien force known as The Power. "Heavy" Jake Sullivan is summoned by his oddest ally, Dr. Wells, to stop the bombing of a new ultra-luxury airship. Amid the glitz, the gambling, and the high-society types, Sullivan races time to hunt for the saboteur.

## Audiobooks
Bronson Pinchot's narration of the audiobook was brilliant. He took the whole production to a higher level. He easily managed all those characters with their different ethnicities and education levels — it was delightful, and was one of the best audiobook performances.(no content)Bronson Pinchot did a great job narrating the series.

The audiobooks are available on Audible and Amazon.

Here's what I found about the **Art of the Adept** series by Michael G. Manning:

## Series Overview

The Art of the Adept series has 8 entries.(no content)The series includes books The Choice of Magic (Art of the Adept, #1), Secrets and Spellcraft (Art of the Adept, #2), Scholar of Magic, and several more.

## Audiobook Availability

The audiobooks are narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds and published by Podium Audio. The series is available on Audible (US, UK, and Australia).

## Magic System & Story

The series features a unique contrast between two magical traditions:

"The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses."(no content)But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death. His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again.

## Character Progression

Will's journey from naïve apprentice to a mature wizard is almost complete, and his ever-growing mastery has reached unseen heights. But his power does not exist in a vacuum. His rising star threatens to eclipse the existing powers and a new balance must be found, one that either accepts his primacy or extinguishes his light.

## Reader Reception

There was some great expansion of magic in this book too and some fun reveals. The book is really well written and also well paced. The "battle" scenes were rich, but not overly frequent so there was time spent on character development and expansion of magic.

You can find the complete audiobook series on [Audible.com](https://www.audible.com/series/Art-of-the-Adept-Audiobooks/B088H7MV6S).

Here's what I found about the magic system in Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series:

## Magic System Overview

In this universe, there are two types of magic: academic magic and ambient magic.

### Ambient Magic

Ambient Magic is a form of magic known only in the Circle Universe.(no content)The major quality of ambient magic is that the strength of the power is from the outside world, and not the inside of the mage, like academic magic. Ambient magic doesn't draw on the mage's self-created power like Academic Magic, but from the surroundings and craft items of the mage.(no content)It is not as well known as the traditional Academic Magic, and in fact is only one fourth times as common as academic magic. Ambient magic takes different forms depending on the mage and the craft he or she performs—common ones include stone, carpentry, healing, cooking, thread and needlework, pottery, fire, and weather.(no content)As ambient magic has a tendency to break free of the user and cause havoc if not properly controlled, it is imperative that a student find an accredited teacher. Ambient mages can be accredited through Winding Circle or the University of Lightsbridge.

### Academic Magic

Academic magic is a form of magic in the Emelan Universe. It is very similar to the Gift, a type of magic in the Tortallan Universe, as it is directly linked to the power vested in the user and not in the surrounding world, as opposed to ambient magic. It usually requires incantations and physical catalysts in order to perform it.(no content)The three signs of an academic mage are telekinesis (moving objects with one's mind), creating images in fire, and causing objects to glow. Most academic mages display at least one of these talents at a young age.

### Can Mages Have Both?

It is possible to possess both the academic and ambient forms of magic. However, while ambient mages can learn academic magic and often apply its principles to their work, academic mages do not possess the inherent ability to learn ambient magic. Ambient magic is known to block academic magic when it is not controlled.(no content)Trisana Chandler is an ambient weather mage who taught herself academic magic.

### Training Locations

It is a common misconception that all academic mages go to Lightsbridge, and all ambient mages go to Winding Circle. It is just a different sort of life, as Winding Circle is mostly temple life, while Lightsbridge is university life.

### The Four Main Characters

In Book 1, gifted young weaver Sandry meets Briar, a former thief with a way with plants; Daja, an outcast gifted at metalcraft; and Tris, whose connection with the weather unsettles everyone, including herself.

Here's what I found about the **Vita Nostra** audiobook by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko:

## Audiobook Details

The audiobook is narrated by Jessica Ball and was translated by Julia Meitov Hersey, published by HarperCollins Publishers Limited.(no content)It's described as "the definitive English language translation of the internationally bestselling Russian novel—a brilliant dark fantasy" combining psychological suspense, enchantment, and terror.

## About the Book

Sasha Samokhina meets the mysterious Farit Kozhennikov while on holiday. She is asked to undertake strange tasks and is rewarded with golden coins. Eventually, Farit instructs her to travel to a remote village and use her gold to gain entrance to the Institute of Special Technologies. Sasha quickly discovers this is no ordinary school.(no content)The books are impossible to read, the lessons obscure to the point of maddening, and the work refuses memorization. Using terror and coercion to keep students in line, the school does not punish them for their transgressions and failures; instead, their families pay a terrible price.

## Where to Listen

The audiobook is available on multiple platforms:

- **Audible** (audible.com)
- **Google Play Books**
- **Everand** (formerly Scribd)
- **OverDrive** (through libraries)
- **Barnes & Noble**

## The Series

There is a sequel that "takes readers to the next stage in Sasha Samokhina's journey in a richly imagined world of dark academia in which grammar is magic—and not all magic is good."

## About the Authors

Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, a former actress and a former psychiatrist, are co-authors of over thirty novels and numerous short stories and screenplays. They were born in Ukraine and moved to California in 2013.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about the Vita Nostra series:

## English Language Series

The English (and international) version of the Vita Nostra series contains two books (as of 2022) which are books 1 and 4 of the Russian series "Метаморфозы" (Metamorphosis).

The current English books are:

1. **Vita Nostra** - Vita Nostra was published in 2007. Julia Meitov Hersey's translation was published by HarperCollins Publishers in November 2018.

2. **Assassin of Reality** - The latest book, Assassin of Reality (Book 2), was published in March 2023.(no content)It is the sequel to 2007 novel Vita Nostra. The English translation was published in 2023.

3. **School of Shards** - School of Shards is described as "the Final Chapter of the Vita Nostra Trilogy", making it Book 3 in the series.

## Original Russian "Metamorphosis" Cycle

Vita Nostra was published in 2007. It was the first novel in the thematically related "Metamorphosis" cycle.(no content)Digital, or Brevis Est, (2009) and Migrant, or Brevi Finietur, a work of science fiction, continue the cycle.

So the complete picture is:

- **Russian Metamorphosis cycle**: 4 books
- **English Vita Nostra series**: 3 books (a trilogy), with School of Shards being the final book

One reviewer noted being "a bit heartbroken I might have to wait another few years for the last book in the trilogy."

Based on the search results, here are some fantasy books featuring runic magic, rune crafting, enchanting, and progression elements:

## Progression Fantasy with Runic Magic

### The Runic Artist by Ellake
Armed with nothing but his trusty penknife and a Legendary Class, Nate will fend for his life. He'll conquer dungeons, discover runes and be drawn into battles against enemies he didn't even know he had.(no content)This book features enchanting, dungeon crawling, rune/spell crafting, heavy progression, and combat wards/runes.

### Runeblade (Book 3 Complete) on Royal Road
This story features a Runic-Tattoo Wizard/Spellblade in a world of sorcerers, with an exceptional MC and some initial slow burn elements, inspired by epics such as Azarinth Healer.(no content)Kaius just wanted to unlock his class - instead, he restarted the apocalypse. After years of training, Kaius has barely acquired the first two of his family's legacy skills. Powerful and vanishingly rare, the method of creating them is a secret people would kill for. Now they might be the only thing that keeps him alive.(no content)The world building mixes a fantasy LitRPG world with that of a system apocalypse. There's history to the world that is shown not told slowly through the chapters.

### Other Progression Fantasy with Crafting Elements

**Emerilia** is built on MMO-inspired mechanics where forging and building are central to character advancement. Characters progress by crafting weapons, enchanting gear, and managing resources. For fans of MMO-style progression and detailed systems, Emerilia is a strong choice among the best progression fantasy series with crafting depth.(no content)In **The Ten Realms**, crafting is essential to survival and growth. Erik and Rugrat forge weapons, brew potions, and manage supply chains that matter as much as combat.

---

Note: Many of the other search results were non-fiction books about historical runic traditions and real-world rune magic practices (like works by Edred Thorsson), rather than fantasy fiction series. If you're specifically looking for more complete fantasy series with runic magic systems, I could search more specifically for that.

Here's what I found about V.E. Schwab's Villains series:

## The Villains Duology

The Villains series consists of two books (Vicious and Vengeful) where V.E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.

### The Books

1. **Vicious** (Book 1)
   - V.E. Schwab's New York Times bestseller Vicious is a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers. Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities.
   - They become EOs, ExtraOrdinaries, leaving a body in their wake and turning on each other.

2. **Vengeful** (Book 2)
   - Sydney Clarke once had Serena—beloved sister, betrayed enemy, powerful ally. But now she's alone, except for her thrice-dead dog, Dol.

### Audiobook Information

The audiobook features V. E. Schwab as Author, Jeremy Arthur as Narrator, and is published by Macmillan Audio.(no content)It's a Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

### Boxed Set

V.E. Schwab's New York Times bestselling Villains series is now available in a boxed set along with a gorgeous double-sided poster.

### About the Author

Victoria "V.E." Schwab is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books. Schwab's series and standalone titles for readers of all ages have made her a major literary figure, whose notable works include the Villains series, the Shades of Magic universe, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.

## The Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett

### Overview

Foundryside is a 2018 fantasy novel by Robert Jackson Bennett. It was first published by Crown Publishing Group on August 21, 2018. It is the first book in a trilogy that includes Shorefall (2020) and Locklands (2022).(no content)The author of the Divine Cities trilogy (a nominee for Best Series at the 2018 Hugo Awards) begins a new trilogy that's as fun to read as its world is well-imagined.

### The Scriving Magic System

In the city of Tevanne, "scriving" — the systematization and mass production of sigils — has enabled the industrialization of magic.(no content)Scriving constitutes the central magic system in Foundryside, wherein skilled artisans known as scrivers inscribe sigils—hieroglyphic symbols representing lexical definitions—onto man-made objects to reprogram their inherent understanding of physical laws.(no content)Scriving is magic that can imbue inanimate objects with sentience, and argue reality into working in ways it was not intended.

### Examples of Scriving in Practice

Similar scriving is used in the weapons of the elite class such as for example, a rapier. It can be scrived to amplify its gravity so that it believes it is being wielded with the force of ten men and will effortlessly cut through a person or punch through solid walls. Carriage wheels can be made to roll uphill without needing horses, wood can be scrived with the sigil for clay, making it inherently softer and easier to carve. The applications are endless and indeed very varied throughout the book.

### Critical Reception

The series has been praised extensively for its innovative approach:

- "Foundryside pulls you in with fast-paced heists, then knocks you down with its innovative magic system. Fun, thoughtful, and thrilling from cover to cover, it's sword-and-sorcery meets computer programming."

- The Verge described it as "essentially a cyberpunk novel, trapped in the clothes of an epic fantasy", and "pressingly modern and relevant."

- "The best epic fantasy of the year is also the best cyberpunk of the year. How often do you get to say that?"

Best Fits Based on Your Preferences

For crafting/enchanting (like Arcane Ascension):

For build variety / multiple paths:

For interesting magic system design:

For superhero with power oversight:


Any of these stand out? Want me to elaborate on specific ones or search for alternatives to any that don't appeal?

1, 2, 4, 9 (maybe), 10, 12. Let's try another set of 12, the final one. Any questions? Give me a turn before starting the research.

Good data from three rounds. A few questions:

  1. Cozy/slice-of-life — You've now picked Beware of Chicken, Morcster Chef, and showed interest in crafting-focused stories. Should I lean harder into cozy/low-stakes progression, or keep the mix varied?

  2. What didn't land — You passed on Vicious, Shades of Magic, The Magicians, Iron Prince, Corpies. Any specific reasons I should note? (Too dark? Too short? Not enough magic system depth? Sci-fi not appealing?)

  3. Translated/international works — You liked Vita Nostra (Ukrainian authors). Should I look for more non-Anglophone fantasy with interesting magic systems?

  4. Completion strictness — You picked some ongoing series (Weapons and Wielders wasn't picked, Iron Prince wasn't picked). Is "ongoing" a negative, or were those just less interesting for other reasons?

  1. Keep it varied.
  2. Viciouos seems to be too much about psychology, and I tend to not like anything that approaches "therapy-like" diversions. Corpies is a companion to another series so seems not useful, if I like the original eventually I'll read this. A Darker Shade of Magic and The Magicians both feature "hidden school" or "hidden world" ideas which is a mechanic I generally don't like in these stories. It feels too conveniently hand-wavey, but maybe I've just never seen it done well. Iron Prince is not finished, I don't know when book 3 is coming out of it it's even the last one.
  3. Is the third book the final you? You mentioned it's coming which I took to mean it's written but being translated, so likely coming soon.
  4. Yes, I don't like starting a series and not being able to finish it.

Any further questions? Give me a turn etc

Good clarifications. Let me check on Vita Nostra book 3 status, then I'll proceed.

Based on my search results, here's what I found about **School of Shards (Vita Nostra #3)**:

## Release Date
The English translation was published on June 17th, 2025 by Harper Voyager.

## Book Details

- This is the haunting final chapter of the modern classic Vita Nostra trilogy. The Dyachenkos' magical dark academia novel brings the story of Sasha to a revelatory climax as she learns to take control of her powers and reshape the world...or destroy it forever.
- Beautifully translated from Russian by Julia Meitov Hersey.
- The book is 384 pages.

## Story
As the new provost, Sasha is facing an enormous problem: the students in the world she just created, her "world without fear," are unable to master the curriculum. Whether it's the magic or the natural order of things, what they need to learn and become—Speech—is the basis of the material world.

## Additional Note
Sergey Dyachenko passed away during the writing of this novel, and it was dedicated to him and their daughter.

So the book is already out as of today (January 5, 2026) — it was released in mid-2025.

Here's what I found about Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy:

## The Trilogy

The Powder Mage trilogy is a series of epic fantasy novels written by American author Brian McClellan. It consists of the novels Promise of Blood (2013), The Crimson Campaign (2014) and The Autumn Republic (2015).(no content)In 2014, Promise of Blood received the Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer.

## Audiobooks

The audiobook series is written by Brian McClellan and narrated by Christian Rodska.(no content)Christian Rodska does an outstanding job narrating this trilogy. The audiobooks are available on platforms like Audible and Everand.

## The Magic System

The trilogy features multiple forms of magic:

1. **Powder Mages**: Powder Mages are wizards with the ability to metabolize gunpowder and use it as fuel for various magical powers, including telekinesis; they can also manipulate gunpowder, such as causing it to explode spontaneously. Tamas and Taniel are both powder mages.

2. **Privileged**: Privileged are powerful sorcerers; being exceedingly rare, they are almost exclusively gathered into "Royal Cabals" in direct service to the Nine Kingdoms' various monarchs.

3. **Knacks**: The third form is a Knack that people can have, this Knacks can vastly vary from not needing sleep, to having perfect memory, to being able to know when people tell lies.

4. **Bone-Eye Magic**: The fourth is a slight mystery, and it's a magic employed by "savages" and seems to closely resemble Voodoo (Real Voodoo Dolls among other magics).

## Setting & Expanded Universe

The trilogy primarily takes place in the fictional kingdom of Adro, one of the Nine Kingdoms founded by Kresimir, a semi-mythical figure now worshiped as a deity. At the beginning of Promise of Blood, Field Marshal Tamas has just committed a coup d'etat against Adro's corrupt and ineffective monarchy.(no content)Several short stories and novellas set in the world of The Powder Mage trilogy have been published, as well as an additional trilogy called Gods of Blood and Powder.(no content)The way McClellan's creative vision strikes a balance between classic fantasy magic and the novel addition of gunpowder-based abilities is impressive.

Here are the search results for fantasy series recommendations with unique magic systems, including insights from Reddit and various review sites:

## Top Recommendations

### Brandon Sanderson's Works
The primary type of magic used in the Mistborn books is Allomancy, wherein a genetically gifted user can swallow and "burn" a specific type of metal to temporarily gain a specific supernatural ability.(no content)There are 16 different types of metal Allomancers can use, each of which grants a certain power. Most Allomancers can only burn one kind of metal and are known as "Mistings." However, the rare "Mistborn" can burn all types of metals, making them some of the most powerful characters.(no content)Brandon Sanderson is a fantasy titan exalted by Redditors for his airtight systems of magic. As one Reddit user raves about Mistborn, "the magic is at once mysterious and yet with clearly defined rules that it adheres to strictly."

### Completed Series to Consider

**The Riyria Revelations** by Michael J. Sullivan starts off with a typical rogue-ish cast and classic fantasy tropes, but quickly turns into one of the best fantasy series of all time. These books are easy to read with characters you will absolutely fall in love with.(no content)**Malazan Book of the Fallen** by Steven Erikson is described as the most difficult fantasy series in the world, but absolutely worth the time and effort.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about **Gods of Blood and Powder** by Brian McClellan:

## Overview
Gods of Blood and Powder is the second trilogy of books set in Brian McClellan's Powder Mage universe. Its story picks up just over ten years after the events of the original Powder Mage Trilogy, and focuses on the western continent of Fatrasta.

## The Books in the Trilogy
The complete trilogy includes:

- **The Mad Lancers** (Gods of Blood and Powder, #0.1) - a prequel novella published in 2017
- **Sins of Empire** (Book 1)
- **Wrath of Empire** (Book 2)
- **Blood of Empire** (Book 3)

## Story Setting
A new epic fantasy trilogy about a young nation at odds with the ancient forces that have begun to stir as fortune seekers and sorcerers flock to the frontier, set in Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy world. The young nation of Fatrasta is a turbulent place—a frontier destination for criminals, fortune-hunters, brave settlers, and sorcerers seeking relics of the past. Only the iron will of the lady chancellor and her secret police holds the capital city of Landfall together.

## Main Characters
The insurrection that threatens Landfall must be purged with guile and force, a task which falls on the shoulders of a spy named Michel Bravis, convicted war hero Mad Ben Styke, and Lady Vlora Flint, a mercenary general with a past as turbulent as Landfall's present.

## Development History
In February 2015, The Autumn Republic concluded the planned Powder Mage trilogy. McClellan then published a sequel trilogy that had tentatively been entitled "Goddess of the Empire" before being replaced by the more thematically over-arching "Gods of Blood and Powder."(no content)All three books in the Gods of Blood and Powder Trilogy are available, including as a signed bundle in trade paperback format from the author's website.

Here's what I found about the Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan:

## Series Overview

The Riyria Revelations is a series of high fantasy novels written by Michael J. Sullivan and published by Orbit Books in 2011 and 2012. The series consists of three original titles: Theft of Swords, Rise of Empire, and Heir of Novron.(no content)The books were previously self-published as a six-volume series selling 90,000 copies.

## Complete Book List

The series was published in two different ways—six books originally self-published and three two-book omnibus editions. The original versions are out of print, having been replaced by Orbit releases.

The original six books are:

1. The Crown Conspiracy (2008), 2. Avempartha (2009), 3. Nyphron Rising (2009), 4. The Emerald Storm (2010), 5. Wintertide (2010), 6. Percepliquis (2011)

## Magic System

One reviewer notes: "If you wanted a complex magic system with all the bells and whistles as Brandon or Jordan does, this may not be for you." The series features magic but doesn't focus heavily on elaborate, systematic magic rules.

Characters like Arista use "magic taught to her by Esrahaddon", and the wizard Esrahaddon plays a significant role, with Royce suspecting him of "using the thieves as pawns in his own game."

## Audiobooks

GraphicAudio has, since 2008, produced full-cast dramatised audio adaptations of Sullivan's entire Riyria bibliography.(no content)Volume 3 of the Riyria Revelations contains the final two books of the series, book #5 Wintertide and book #6 Percepliquis. Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds reunite to bring all of the main characters back. The audiobook is narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds.(no content)Regarding audiobook lengths: Book 1 (Theft of Swords) is 22 hours, Book 2 (Rise of Empire) is 26 hours, and Book 3 (Heir of Novron) is 31 hours.

## Related Series

Sullivan has written a series of novels entitled The Riyria Chronicles that take place before the events in Riyria Revelations, following the early adventures of Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater. The first two novels, The Crown Tower and The Rose and the Thorn, were released in August and September 2013.(no content)The Riyria Revelations series (2011-2012) was published before The Riyria Chronicles (2013-present) but is set after it chronologically. Sullivan has recommended reading the two series in publication order.

Here's what I found about Lyndon Hardy's "Master of the Five Magics" series:

## About the Series

*Master of the Five Magics* is a fantasy novel by Lyndon Hardy, first published in 1980. It is the first of a trilogy set in the same world; the second book is *Secret of the Sixth Magic* and the third *Riddle of the Seven Realms*.(no content)Hardy is a New York Times best-selling author of the "Magic by the Numbers" fantasy series. *One Last Heist*, the seventh book in the series, is now available.

## The Magic System

A primary focus of the plot is upon the five magics of the title: Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, Magic, Sorcery, and Wizardry. In the system devised for the trilogy, each discipline allows the user to perform magical actions within a particular set of rules.(no content)The author melds physics with the fantasy of alchemy, sorcery, and wizardry to produce tales in which there are constraints and limitations. Magic is not omnipotent. When the protagonists are in a jam, they are not saved with a simple "bibbity, bobbiity, boo."

## Series Structure

With the exception that book 5, *Magic Times Three*, involves the same protagonists as book 4, *The Archimage's Fourth Daughter*, all the books in the series have different leading characters. They can be read in any order.

## The Story

Alodar, the mere journeyman, learning the least of the five crafts of magic. He had no right to aspire for the queen's hand—but aspire he did! Alodar's quest takes him from one magical craft to another—each with its own distinct powers and pitfalls.

## Cultural Impact

It was a popular enough book that it influenced a song by Megadeth called "Five Magics." The five color magic code in the "Magic: The Gathering" card games was also inspired by "Master of the Five Magics."

## Audiobook Availability

One source mentions a "Master Of The Five Magics Audiobook" available with Audible MP3 Download by Lyndon Hardy. However, the search results don't provide extensive details about audiobook versions for the complete series. You may want to check Audible or other audiobook platforms directly for the full series availability.

Here's what I found about the Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan:

## The Black Magician Trilogy

Trudi Canavan is the author of the bestselling Black Magician trilogy—The Magician's Guild, The Novice, and The High Lord.(no content)She published her first story in 1999 and received an Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Short Story. Her debut series, the Black Magician trilogy, made her an international success.

### The Story & Magic System

Each year the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants, urchins and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no one can oppose them.(no content)But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe. Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, hurls a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. To the amazement of all who bear witness, the stone passes unhindered through the barrier and renders a magician unconscious.(no content)What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

### The Guild & Black Magic

The Traitor Spy Trilogy takes place a generation after the events of the Black Magician Trilogy. Black magic is no longer forbidden to Guild magicians, but the knowledge and practice of it is severely restricted.(no content)In accepting the protection of the guild's high lord, Sonea may have embraced an even bleaker fate. For High Lord Akkarin harbours a secret that is far darker than his magician's robes.

### Audiobook Editions

An unabridged audio edition was published by Bolinda Audio Books, and an abridged audio edition was published by Time Warner AudioBooks UK.(no content)The audiobook of Book 1 is narrated by Richard Aspel and published by Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd. The listening length is 15 hours and 23 minutes.(no content)Book 2, The Novice, is also narrated by Richard Aspel with a listening length of 18 hours and 34 minutes.

The audiobooks are available on multiple platforms including Audible and Apple Books, with Book 1 priced at $4.99.

Based on the search results, here's the current status of Andrew Rowe's **Arcane Ascension** series (which begins with *Sufficiently Advanced Magic*):

## Series Status

**Arcane Ascension 6 came out this year, and Arcane Ascension 5 in audio as well**, so it's been a big year for book releases.(no content)Reception for both Arcane Ascension 5 and 6 has generally been excellent. There have been some complaints — some people didn't like the political focus of book 5, for example, or the interludes in book 6 — but overall, they've been better received than Books 3 and 4 were.

## Completion Status

The series is **not yet complete**. Book 7 is planned as "the last book in the main Arcane Ascension series."(no content)Andrew Rowe expects most of next year to be taken up by work on Arcane Ascension 7. After working on Weapons & Wielders 4, Arcane Ascension 7 is currently next on his list, and he hopes to finish and release it next year.

## Summary

- **Books 1-6**: Published
- **Book 7**: In progress (expected to be the final book in the main series)
- **Series complete?**: No, one more book to go

Interestingly, the Fandom wiki still notes it was originally "a planned three-volume series," but it has clearly expanded well beyond that original plan.

Based on my search, here's what I found about Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes series:

## The Series So Far

**Bookshops & Bonedust** is a fantasy novel written by American author Travis Baldree. It was first published in trade paperback and ebook by Tor Books and in audiobook by Macmillan Audio in November, 2023. It is a prequel to the author's 2022 novel Legends & Lattes.(no content)Although written after Legends and Lattes, it chronologically takes place two decades before it.

## Book Details

Bookshops & Bonedust became an Instant #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller, and was named a Barnes & Noble Best Fantasy Book of 2023 and an Amazon Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Book of 2023.(no content)The story follows Viv, an orc mercenary who is contracted to fight the necromancer Varine the Pale. Her leg is injured in her very first fight, and her boss leaves her in the town of Murk to recover. In Murk, Viv befriends a bookseller named Fern and meets the gnome Gallina, beginning a summer romance with a dwarf baker named Maylee.

## Author's Notes on the Prequel

The author did not plan to write this prequel. As Baldree wrote: "So here we are, with a prequel I never intended to write. And I'm happy with it. It says things I want to say, and if I'm lucky, it interlocks with Legends & Lattes in a way that makes both stories better, while still allowing them to stand on their own."

## Future Books

Baldree has mentioned three more standalone fantasy novels in this series will be written and published, and the first one is slated to be released in 2025.

## Current Reading Order

1. **Legends & Lattes** (2022) - The original novel
2. **Bookshops & Bonedust** (2023) - The prequel (listed as #0 on Goodreads)

The series is known for popularizing the "cozy fantasy" subgenre, featuring low-stakes, heartwarming stories set in high-fantasy worlds.

Here's what I found about **The Deed of Paksenarrion** by Elizabeth Moon:

## Overview

The Deed of Paksenarrion is available complete in a single hardcover volume and has been described as "the Finest Trilogy of Epic Fantasy in a Decade." Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of adventure and glory.

## The Trilogy Structure

The complete trilogy consists of three books:

- Paks' journey through **Sheepfarmer's Daughter**, **Divided Allegiance** and **Oath of Gold**(no content)**Book One:** Paks is trained as a mercenary, blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier and to the followers of Gird, the soldier's god. **Book Two:** Paks leaves the Duke's company to follow the path of Gird alone—and on her lonely quests encounters the other sentient races of her world. **Book Three:** Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits.

## Paladins and Magic

It will surprise no one familiar with this trilogy to learn that their primary inspiration was the Dungeons & Dragons paladin character class. Paladins are the knight in shining armor type characters, who derive their power as warriors and magic-users from their pure and noble virtues.(no content)The series is considered "a very unique and enjoyable low-fantasy epic, and probably my favourite portrayal of paladins in fiction."

## Audiobook Availability

The Deed of Paksenarrion audiobooks are available on Audible. Free trial available!(no content)The audiobook was produced in 2010 by Audible, Inc., with the original copyright from 1988 belonging to Elizabeth Moon.(no content)Oath of Gold (Book 3) audiobook is narrated by Jennifer Van Dyck and produced by Audible Studios.

## Awards and Author Background

The first novel of the Deed of Paksenarrion series went on to win the Compton Crook Award in the category of Best First Fantasy Novel, which was awarded by the Baltimore Fiction Society.(no content)Elizabeth Moon has degrees in history and biology, served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, was elected to public office, and spent six years as a paramedic on a rural Texas ambulance service. Her much acclaimed novels include The Deed of Paksenarrion, an epic fantasy, and the "Heris Serrano" series.

Here's what I found about the Wheel of Time magic system:

## The One Power

Every character who uses the One Power in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books draws it from the same place: the True Source. Described in the novels as the "driving force of the universe," the One Power's True Source is infinite and can never be depleted.(no content)The One Power (the in-universe name for magic) spins the celestial Wheel of Time, which weaves the Great Pattern, enfolding the world, all life and time itself.

## Saidin and Saidar

The True Source is divided into two halves: saidar and saidin.(no content)Once, both men and women could become powerful Aes Sedai, but they connected to different sides of the One Power. Women connect to saidar, while only men use saidin.(no content)Saidar is described as a gentle, but infinitely powerful river; a force which will do what you wish it to, but requires patience to be "persuaded." A woman must submit to saidar in order to access it, an act universally known as embracing the Power.(no content)Using saidin is more of a struggle than it is for saidar.(no content)During the Breaking of the World, the Dark One touched saidin, corrupting the male half of the One Power. As a result, any man who channels is doomed to madness.

## The Five Powers and Weaves

When using the One Power one weaves flows of different elements: Earth, Spirit, Water, Air, and Fire, also known as the Five Powers.(no content)Men are generally stronger with Fire and Earth, while women are generally stronger with Air and Water; significant strength in Spirit is distributed equally, and relatively rare in either.(no content)Weaves of the One Power are similar to textile weaves, and weaving Saidar has been compared to folding silk. Once a weave has been created, the channeler can "hold" it to keep the effect ongoing, or knot the flows, a process called "tying the weave off". A weave that has been tied off persists even after the channeler has released the True Source.(no content)A channeler of Saidin or Saidar is able to see the weaves created using the same half of the Power, but not the other. For this reason, a man cannot teach a woman how to create a weave and vice versa.

## Examples of Weaves

There are many different things that can be accomplished using the One Power. For example, channelers can heal injuries and sickness, find ores or metals in the ground, throw fireballs from their hands, call lightning from the sky, control the weather and winds, travel instantaneously from one place to another, change their appearance, and even control someone else's actions through Compulsion.(no content)Some abilities are a bit more complicated and necessitate the use of three threads, with one example of this being Healing. To heal someone, one must weave flows of Air, Water, and Spirit.

## Linking

Women are more dexterous in the actual weaving of the flows, and have the advantage of linking, but cannot increase a circle beyond thirteen without the inclusion of men. When a male channeler and a female channeler work together they are much stronger than many of the same gender, it is said that this is caused by saidin and saidar resonating.

If you drop Circle of Magic (your "maybe"), you have 14 — still need to cut 2.

Or if you keep Circle of Magic, you need to cut 3.

Would you like me to help identify which to cut, or do you already know which ones you're less certain about?

Keep: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 14. The others I'm less sure about.

Need 5 more from these 8:

# Book What it offers Potential redundancy
2 Jade City Jade martial arts, crime family drama Unique tone (Godfather + wuxia)
5 Beware of Chicken Cozy cultivation comedy Only cozy/comedy option left
8 Art of the Adept Wizard progression, academic magic Similar "training wizard" feel to Enchanter
9 Hard Magic 1930s categorized superpowers Similar "categorized powers" to Lightbringer, Super Powereds
10 Circle of Magic Craft-based ambient magic (thread, metal, plants, weather) Unique craft-magic focus, but YA
12 Morcster Chef Cooking crafting, orc chef Similar cozy vibe to Beware of Chicken
13 Promise of Blood Gunpowder mages, flintlock fantasy Similar "categorized powers" to Grimnoir
15 City of Stairs Dead gods' miracles Same author as Foundryside (already keeping)

My suggestions for cutting:

If I had to pick 5 for you:

But it depends on your priorities. What matters more: variety of tone? Audiobook quality? Series length? Uniqueness of magic system?

Let's keep 5, 8, 9, 10, 13
