the way this world is IMAGINED the way it is WRITTEN the COMPLEXITY of it. i am in awe. i'm following eight, EIGHT characters with distinct main-ish storylines from different parts of the world right now, with super complex magic system, political intrigue, personal desires, and they are so. like. SO good. that's not even mentioning around 50 other characters introduced briefly. i Understand the hype now. i get it

book 2 is dragging out, literally all it is 200 pages later is war and war and war and war. gets pretty boring at times. i GOTTA say tho, it's still compulsively readable because of the writing style – simplistic, full of jargon and such, but god does that help in keeping momentum

not much to update on tbh, i feel like book 2 is mostly just the war and a lot of running, hiding, and running again. not too bad but def less fun than book 1 :c

ANYWAY back to this gem. epic fantasy brings me indescribable joy and my guess it's because literally the first series i ever read at the ripe age of 12 was an adult fantasy. i also know that fans of that series tend to love perumov as well. so like. this is just very well-tailored personal reading

im coming to you to either admit that im a dumbass or reveal to you that perumov is a rlly good writer. i just had an "oh.... ooOoooOOHHhHhh" moment when the pieces clicked together about something that happened tens of pages ago/was going on up until now. there is so much going on at all times i swear to god i cannot keep up but it is so fucking exciting

NOTHING gets me going like a guy from an ancient family of wizards, disowned because his lifelong goal is to become the best warrior/spy in a secret league that opposes the huge and respected and powerful league of said ancient wizards. he's one of the main characters and he's like my top favourite

as far as i know, this series has no English translation, but i'm pretty sure at least one of his books does. if you wanna dip your toes into Russian fantasy, please, Perumov is the place to start (as per my dad and literally every other classical fantasy lover ever)

It looks like Godsdoom is the work of his translated to English and now I’m 👀 definitely looking out for it!
