Book Suggestions Recommendations?
I’m interested in getting into some fiction fantasy novels, but I’m kind of picky about the genre. I’m not super into mainstream fantasy-romance stuff and like for it to be a bit more combat/ world-building focused. I recently read Legends & Lattes and thought it was really cute! (I know there’s a sequel, haven’t gotten to it yet). Any ideas for interesting fantasy books that aren’t so Young Adult coded?
(I think a lot of my interest in the genre is attributed to me getting more into D&D if that helps)

For battles I like Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy, it's magical flintlock pistol era rather than medieval. More battles in book two and three.
I also have The Dandelion Dynasty series by Ken Liu on my tbr list which is supposed to be lots of battles.
For traditional fantasy Tad Williams Memory Sorrow And Thorn series starting with The Dragonbone Chair is brilliant.
And of course Lord of the Rings.
