Oh wow, I will look into this and see if it is something our devs want to think about.
In the meantime, alexandrite.app is a nice alternative for browsing as well.

There shouldn't be one, but kbin is also kinda weird. We are federated with them, so we should get their posts, but they don't always seem to update.
For me "dark" fantasy aka "grimdark" is about darker themes, harsher language, and more realistic depictions of awful situations being in the forefront of what is happening (as opposed to just existing in the background). The book should be gritty and grim and feel hopeless and even victories should pyrrhic most of the time.
Oh those are some good ones. I also really like

"The time had come for the First Sword of the T'lan Imass to announce himself."
And when Hood strode up to Equity and just nommed her head in half.
Yeah I'm hoping they don't cost TOO much, esp cause I need them to ship to the States lol
Oh that's VERY nice collection! I have only eBooks right now but a friend told me that new hardcovers, limited edition ones, were coming next summer from a special bindery so I might pick those up.
Well thank you for the support! We've reached out to a few SFF communities but a lot of them stayed on Reddit so until people want to help grow them here we're a little stagnant. It takes a lot of work to content create for a community to try to grow it. We have quite a few folks subscribed to our communities but without people making posts engagement will be low.
yeah I am excited at watching that little percentage go up lol
ok I've read the books and I have no idea what is happening in this trailer...
It's more about just making sure content is labeled in accordance to Rule 4 (they're on the sidebar, not sure how easy that is to see on mobile). We don't have nearly as many spoiler tools here as we do on Reddit, so the title labels will really help. Thanks so much :)
this made my heart hurt the first time I read it.
I've definitely heard First Law is both grimdark and good. I have it on my TBR.
if you're not opposed to REALLY dark, Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire trilogy (starts with Prince of Thorns) is very good. You kinda have to push through hating theMC for the first part of the first book but it's totally worth it.
Also the Poppy War trilogy by RF Kuang is excellent.
Also, I will never pass up the chance to recommend Malazan Book of the Fallen.
