    14. Foreboding discovery of a main character’s past - in-depth book discussion and recommendations request

      Hoping to generate discussion and have a few books recommended that have some of the following characteristics:

      • foreboding discovery of a main character’s past
      • a plot conflict that with a focus other than war or physical/political fighting
      • preferable plot conflict examples: exploration, escape, grand heist, obtaining wisdom, treasure hunt
      • undercurrent of a great unused power or magic that has been long lost

      btw, I’m borrowing this format from r/Fantasy

      Books I have liked:
      Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law series
      Samantha Shannon The Priory of the Orange Tree
      Michael Crichton The Eaters of the Dead
      Lara Prior-Palmer (non-fiction) Rough Magic
      Arthur C. Clarke (sci-fi) Rendezvous with Rama
      Neal Stephenson (sci-fi) Anathem
      Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive series

      Traits like prose, characters, or settings you most enjoy:
      Settings within the wilderness, crypts, large buildings/structures, caverns are all great.

      Series vs. standalone preference:
      No real preference, but longer is better I suppose.

      Tone preference (lighthearted, grimdark, etc):
      No strong preference, but mystical, ancient, and dark comes to mind.

      Complexity/depth level:
      Preferably on the more intricate side.

      Thank you, let’s chat!

      I often re-read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow around Halloween time. If you haven't read the original (published in 1819), it's a really fun read, with great descriptions of (obviously somewhat fictionalized) life in a town on the banks of the Hudson River in 1790.

      What other short stories or books would you recommend for the Halloween season?

      I'm interested in reading some books with good plot twists and would love some recommendations.

      BUT WAIT THERE'S A TWIST

      Knowing that a twist is coming can inhibit its effectiveness, so I also want some recommendations in this thread that do not have twists. This means that I or anyone else consulting this thread for recommendations won't necessarily know if the given book we've chosen has a twist or not, which helps keep us on our toes.
