Hi! I am looking to write fantasy, a kind of notoriously overdone genre. I am curious if there are any “hot takes” on it that look at it from a fresh perspective? I have a long plate of titles to read already but I would be happy to learn what titles you have read and would recommend for somebody who wants to see how other people did interesting fantasy novels.

    Maybe read A Song of Ice and Fire in case you haven’t read it yet; it has great qualities as well as some antiquated nonsense, but I’m doing my second read-through right now and enjoying it.
