Oof. If you skip those first two short story books you’re gonna have a bad time.

Prequel sadly but besides that I’m also quite excited

Mistborn for me is a sore thumb in your examples, it doesn’t have anywhere near the level of intricacy in plot, nor the wide range of viewpoints, which I’d classify as Epic. Whereas I’d say the focus on it’s magic system and fewer POVs make it a good fit for High as categorised by the writer (again I think that’s a bit problematic anyway, but fair enough, it’s not a bad distinction).

I don’t necessarily have a problem with the categories as the writer defines them here (though there is a lot of room to argue about some of this stuff, especially high vs epic) but that aside some of the examples given for each genre are poor representations.

Edit: The 1st Mistborn trilogy in Epic? Jurassic Park for Science Fantasy?!

It was suggested by the sign up process at the top of which domain I should join. I don’t remember how, it’s already a blur, but afterwards I saw people saying the registration process needed to add a way of directing users to smaller instances as a thing to lighten the load and stop everyone going to lemmy.world and it confused me because that’s literally what happened to me.

Anyway I also noticed it had a steam deck community and that was good enough for me.
