HELP! My partner has decided for his birthday he wants a new book! He loves fantasy and is currently through the fourth wing series and hardly putting them down 🤣. One thing he has said he’s not keen on is that it’s always from a women perspective and he’s not too much of a fan of the ‘smut’ as he puts it but only because it’s from the women point 🤣. Now I’m not a fantasy reader myself so kinda blind here….. please can someone recommend some books that may be like fourth wing but with a male lead?? Thanks x

Sounds like he wants proper Epic fantasy if he doesn’t like the smut. I’m the same. And he’s in luck because most traditional high/epic fantasy is male perspective.

Some he may like:

Without dragons:
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
The Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
Assassins Apprentice - Robin Hobb
The Black Prism - Brent Weeks

With dragons:
Of Blood and Fire - Ryan Cahill
Dragon Mage - ML Spencer
Ascendant - Michael Miller

The most similar - dragons, training etc is Ascendant. The absolute best on this list are Black Prism, Name of the Wind and Assassins Apprentice. I think he would like Black Prism if he is new to fantasy.

Threshing Day is out tomorrow! It's a 4th wing spin off so he'll probably like that.
