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?

Name of the wind fits that perfectly.
Just be aware that it’s not finished and there’s a good chance it never will be.
This! I’m still mad at the person at the bookstore that recommended it to me without warning me. 😡
Why wouldn’t it ever be finished? I know it’s been painstakingly slow, but hasn’t he been making progress and sharing some updates?
There’s been zero evidence of any updates. Even his editor claimed she hadn’t seen a single word of the book a couple years ago.
I would give it about 10 percent that it gets finished. He does have a new novella coming out in November.
That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he’s written in the last decade.
I’d say your 10% is optimistic. It’s been long enough that even if he does release it, I’d place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.
