The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever – Stephen R. Donaldson

A bitter, leprous outcast is transported to a magical world where he’s seen as a hero — but refuses to believe it’s real. Donaldson’s series is psychologically complex and morally raw, challenging the idea of the “chosen one.” It’s grim, introspective, and oddly redemptive. For readers who prefer their fantasy flawed and human.

Rating: 4.5/5
