meh, of course somebody was going to ask for that here. I'm having serious trouble listing fantasy books today, in part because I'm half a world away from all my bookshelves and it's kind of tough to rattle it off.
I remember though that Mickey Zucker Reichert's The Last of the Renshai subverted the "chosen hero" trope in a very surprising way - it surprised me way more than AGOT did, when Ned Stark was killed. (those books have other issues... but I quite liked them).
Thing is, I don't generally like it when a hero I like is killed off, so I quit a lot of those books when that happened. I'm trying to remember the names, but blanking atm :(

.2 seconds to google. Warn8ng, obviously spoilers in the links.

Whats a good book where lots of the main characters get killed off? Particularly ones you care about?

Popular main character dies books

What are some really good books where the protagonist dies?

There are more, but I was trying not to spoil myself.

But claiming "bitch I can list so-and-so" would have implied you had actually read or been somewhat familiar with books like that. If you only go looking for them when you're put on the spot, it's clear you were only trying to one-up the GRRM fanatics.

are you confusin anon with ketita?

By stepping in on that challenge for credentials, they assumed the same responsibility. It's not like that comment was an honest request for recs.

"so name some" = "oh yeah, prove it"

Eh, you'll notice that anon didn't respond to me - since I did actually name a series, I guess. I'm annoyed that I can't remember the other one - I remember the entire plot, and the death of the main hero that so annoyed me, everything, but not the name of the series.

tbh you could probably even compare Ned Stark with Duke Atreides.

anon is just being an asshat.
