Vita Nostra because it has an interesting magic system. Piranesi because it also has a weird magic system.
I didn't read it this past year, but the first one that came to mind was Tigana. That book was rather weird for me, because the process of reading it wasn't very enjoyable, but after finishing I loved it.
If anyone has suggestions for fantasy or sci-fi books with weird or non-standard magic systems I'd love to hear em. I've already read most of the big names like Sanderson.
- em-bee 3y agoi don't know what is a weird or non-standard magic system (because i don't read much fantasy), but if you like science fiction with magic then i can recommend Glynn Stewart: Starship's Mage series
- CobaltFire 3y agoIslington’s trilogy that starts with “The Shadow of What was Lost” is very much in Sandersen’s style and does its own thing.
- spoiler 3y agoI second the Licanius trilogy! His new series (Hierarchy) is also great!
