I've just read "The River Has Roots". It's a short book but needs to consumed slowly because the prose is gorgeous and rich and light and heavy. It's a beautiful thing and when I got to the end I cried at the beauty of how it all came together. 10/10 hard recommend. Thank you @amalelmohtar.com

The Lions of Al-Rassan by @guygavrielkay.bsky.social. It has revenge, politics from the personal to the geopolitical and everything in between, romance, wonderful women characters and an ending that has your heart in your mouth.
What are people's most ARCHETYPICAL novels? Not your FAVORITES per se, but the ones that best exemplify your tastes in novels, distilled into a single work?
Mine is probably Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell."
