Have you ever read a novel or series, that were so good, that you we able to imagine the fights with you being in 3rd person?

I am currently reading Mistborn: The Final Empire and the narration of the fight between Shan Elariel and Valette Renoux is so good that I just can't keep my Kindle down at the moment. In fact, I fear I may pull an all nighter for this novel lol!

I am able to pause the scene, and observe it mentally from any angle of an imaginary sphere around the two characters.

Its like, I am in my astral form looking at something happening in some other world.

The only novel series I experienced this were wiitten by Rick Riordan, Sarah J Maas, Leigh Bardugo, Vampire Academy series author, Ally Carter.

More are also there, but I am not able to recall the authors' names.

I was so immersed and still am in such novel. It feels amazing. Satisfying.

So...

What is your experience with novels? Especially the fast paced scenes?

That’s how I read every book, the first few chapters take the longest because as I read the descriptions of the scenery and the clothing and weapons of the characters I’m writing my own companion character that always seems to be just out of the way of the action but witnesses everything. I’m seeing the scene play out in my head like a movie as the author describes everything.

I have never read books that featured violence, but I read science fiction when I was a child and I could easily imagine myself being there in the midst of the action!

Oh yes. This right here is why I read… and read so much. 🤓 Glad you found a story that resinates with you so well. Have you looked up if they have written anything else?

Richelle Mead wrote VA - I have met her.

Brandon Sanderson is an amazing author it seems. The one I am reading is the first of a trilogy.
About VA, I felt the emotions were explained for far too long, and hence, I would skip the pages. But I always got a hang of the setup.
