I want to read a recent(ish) fun fantasy series with an eighteen year-old male protagonist, that has immense worldbuilding and greatly-written characters. Any suggestions?

    Wheel of Time doesn’t really fit “recent,” but still fantastic.

    Way of Kings is great. Codex Alera is a fun read as well

        I read a few of the Dresden Files, pretty solid books. I really enjoyed Codex Alera.

        Another few suggestions: the Lightbringer series and the Night Angel series by Brent Weeks.

        Mistborn is great as well.

        I’ve read all of Dresden and just started codex 3. Personally, while it’s a different genre, his codex books are written Much better Imo. It’s worth a read
