      I have a problem.

      My problem is a certain kind of book is crack cocaine to me; once I find one I just feast on it, quite often starting then finishing it in the same day. So now I need my fix and hopefully you people will point me to an author/dealer to keep it going.

      Don't judge me, but the material at hand involves (in semi-random order) a combination of military or arcane training, underdogs and badass moments. I'm talking about books such as the following:

      • Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter; a low-class nobody in a caste-based militant Empire gets into a military program and kicks all kinds of ass.

      • The Red Rising saga by Brown Pierce; a low-class nobody in an solan system-wide oppressive regime fakes his way into a military program and kicks all kinds of ass.

      • The Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks; a bastard of the world's most powerful man makes his way into an magical military school and kicks all kinds of ass.

      • Red Sister by Mark Lawrence; a piss-poor orphan girl gets in the world's most badass nunnery and kicks all kinds of ass.

      • The Raven's Shadow series by Anthony Ryan; a young nobleman is forced into a military school and kicks all kinds of ass.

      • Okay, okay, Ender's Game. You know this one, the author turned out to be fucked up... but Ender kicked all kinds of ass. In a military school.

      Anyway you can stop judging me now FINE I get it, I said I had a problem. Find me more books to feed my habit, will you?

        The Frontlines series by Marko Kloos might scratch your itch.

        Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

          I chuckled, which isn't easy lately.
