Aside from Brandon Sanderson, sino pa leading "Epic High Fantasy" authors niyo?

Hi guys!

Tagal ko na kasing nakatira sa Cosmere ni Sanderson and honestly, medyo nao-overwhelm na ako sa dami ng backlogs ko sa kanya. 😂 ​Gusto ko sana mag-explore ng ibang Epic High Fantasy worlds. ‘Yung tipong heavy world-building, malupit na magic system, and ‘yung hindi mo bibitawan hanggang 3 AM.

Gusto ko sana mag-explore ng ibang Epic High Fantasy worlds. ‘Yung tipong heavy world-building, malupit na magic system, and ‘yung hindi mo bibitawan hanggang 3 AM. ​I’ve read the usual suspects (Tolkien, GRRM, and Robert Jordan), pero baka may suggestions kayo na ​Grimdark vibes (parang Joe Abercrombie or R.F. Kuang) or ​hidden gems na madaling hanapin sa Fully Booked or available sa Kindle/Storytel.

Sino sa tingin niyo yung "must-read" this 2026? ​Bonus points kung may local authors or SEA-inspired fantasy kayong alam (na-enjoy ko yung Saints of Storm and Sorrow ni Gabriella Buba!). ​Looking forward to your budol!
