Good standalones?
Good standalones?
I've read Small Gods, Pyramids and The Truth as standalones. I've read the City Watch subseries and up through Lords and Ladies of the Witches subseries. What are some good standalones I can look at for my next palate cleanser since I am not ready to go back to Maskerade yet?
Hm, lemme think. Honestly I'd read them in order rather than by series, gives you a nice palate cleanser from particular characters and arcs. Monstrous Regiment is a phenomenal standalone.
Oh I love to read long series and stick with characters as long as I can, so that's not an issue for me. I just like using Discworld as a refresher between heavier books and series. It was a breath of fresh air when I needed a few days off from Malazan here and there.
Moving pictures also works as a stand alone I believe. Set before The Truth, so you might recognise one of the introduced characters.
oooh will add that to the list!
Heya! I think all books can be standalones, but I enjoyed Mort especially (it's the first Death book, so no previous knowledge necessary).
I read Mort in book club last year :) It was okay, I liked City Watch books much better. I do plan to read the rest of the Death series at some point though.
