You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!
Starting the Realm of the Elderings can be a huge undertaking, with 16 main series books and a bevy of novellas and short stories.
However, the series is much less daunting once you actually get into it. The series is broken into five trilogies (well, one is a tetralogy), where each one has a nice conclusion while also building on what came before. With this series you won’t be waiting the entire time for a clean resolution!
What Should I Expect from the Realm of the Elderlings?
- The best characters in the entire genre
- Emotional and at times gut wrenching plots
- Lyrical prose
- Some of the most heinous villains
- Some of the most complicated and nuanced villains
- Lots of history and lore
- The Fool (the best fantasy character ever)
