So I have a friend in jail that I regularly send books to. This doesn't cover every situation, but I assume the circumstances will be similar.

He says that the (meager) prison library is very skewed towards religious books, classics, GED materials, and low-difficulty grocery store novels. Anything other than that will be appreciated. The books most requested are thick fantasy books, activity books (sudoku, physics workbooks, etc), science non-fiction, and coffee-table books or magazines with lots of pictures. These will be swapped with other inmates so that anyone interested has a chance to read.

Some things to keep in mind:

My vote:

  • Giant Size X-Men #1
  • X-Men 94-105

    It's that start of Chris Claremont's 16 year run on X-Men, and it's worth a read all the way through.

    Maybe buy a book on Kindle to go with it. May I suggest the phenomenal Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.

Vin from Mistborn fits some, but not all, of your criteria. She's more of a rogue, but still a powerful fighter, especially late in the series.

Winter Ihernglass is pretty much perfect; she's a female soldier in the Shadow Campaigns, starting with The Thousand Names.

Velas Jaldin in my own Stealing Sorcery is the archetype you're looking for, but my books are very high magic, so I'm not sure if that's what you'd want. It's not Tolkienesque - they're more JRPGish.

Stealing Sorcery is the second book in the series, so you might want to read the first book first. Lydia in the first book, Forging Divinity, is a competent fighter, but she's more of a defensive magic/sword fighting hybrid. Velas in the second book is much more of a front line bash your face in type, which is what I think you want. (They're both pictured on the covers of their respective books if you want to take a look; the art is pretty indicative of their style.)

The Mistborn trilogy has the ministry, which is religion and government bureaucracy rolled up into one.

The His Dark Materials trilogy features the Magisterium, which is a version of the Catholic church that never split from Orthodoxy, as far as I can tell. They even oversee scientific expeditions.

Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Honestly some of the best fantasy I have ever read!

u/Inadara · 2 pointsr/Fantasy

I have bought that exact version from your second link here. I can confirm that it is all three books in one file, with nothing missing.

I don't know whats up with the pagecount, it is definitly more than just a 1000 pages.

u/antigrapist · 2 pointsr/Fantasy

I think he's talking about this version. The page count isn't a reliable number, just make a decision based off the reviews, none of which complain about missing content.

I might suggest The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's been a while since I've read it, but I feel like the chapters might be a bit long if you wanted to read one or two over a lunch break (depending on how long you have to read on a break). It's not quite as fun of a read as Kingkiller, I would put it between Kingkiller and A Song of Ice and Fire, but I do highly recommend it regardless. Also by Brandon Sanderson I highly recommend the Mistborn Series. Warning about the way of kings, it is part one of a planned 10 part series, with the second part only coming out hopefully next year, so that might be a turn off for you.

I myself have just started reading The First Law series, and while I can't quite recommend it yet, it seems to read and feel very similar to The Way of Kings, but with shorter chapters. I am expecting good things from it, and the lengths of the chapters seem very suitable to a lunch break.

If you have a kindle, let me direct you here. Such a great deal to grab the whole trilogy at that price.

u/Chummage · 2 pointsr/booksuggestions

I found out about Brandon Sanderson from this sub and really enjoyed these two series:

Mistborn

The Stormlight Archive

I also can't recommend Jon Krakauer enough.

Hard copy - Scott Pilgrim volume 2 (in color!) I fucking love Scott Pilgrim, it's one of my favorite graphic novels of all time. I picked up the first volume of the colorized version, and it's gorgeous! The coloring is perfect and the binding is even better if that's possible.

Kindle book - Mistborn Trilogy! I adore adore adore high fantasy, and hear consistently good things about this series. It seems a good length and plot, and I really want to get sucked into something like this.

If I were a book, I hope that I'd be a great one.

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRILOGY E-BOOK ON AMAZON, WAT.

The trilogy separately is $20 something or rather. Together, here, they are $5.75.

Here is my review of the first book on Good Reads. Looks like I was correct in my review! Friend me if you're on Goodreads!

u/ladykristianna · 1 pointr/Fantasy

Here's the link to it. Still only $5.75. It is an all in one omnibus deal.

He gifted me those three, and intro'd me into the Mistborn series by Sanderson. My husband had recommended I read them, but I never got around the getting them...and now I have a love for Sanderson's books. The Mistborn Trilogy is another you should read, if you haven't already. Highly highly highly recommend it.

u/catheraaine · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

You need this. NEED.

When I need to get happy, when I've had a shitty day, I read. This trilogy is what I'm reading now, and it is SUPERB. As in, top-ten series of all time.

Also, I eat chocolate, play with my kitty, and watch shitty TV on netflix.
