    Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…

        I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)

        My first thought was Patrick Rothfuss but I think you are referring to Martin. I’m sure the list is long of unfinished fantasy series, whichever book you are waiting for I hope your year is 2026!

          Indeed, I was referring to Martin. I’m not holding my breath, as there are supposed to be two more books, but perhaps at least one will appear at some point!

      Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!
