Beginner Fantasy Book Recommendations! 

me who reads an unhealthy amount of fantasy: yes i shall watch this

time stamps 3:22 graceling - Kristin gashore 5:08 a song of wraiths and ruin - Roseanne a. brown 6:57 throne of glass - Sarah j. Maas 9:11 scythe - Neil shusterman 11:50 spin the dawn - Elizabeth lim 13:30 nevermoor - Jessica Townsend 15:50 an ember in the ashes - sabaa Tahir 18:04 mistborn - Brandon Sanderson

i would definitely recommend the raven cycle for anyone looking to start fantasy from an easy start since it’s urban fantasy. think welsh mythology, psychics, magical woods, and some amazing characters!

Me who doesn’t like fantasy except for Rick Riordan and Leigh Bardugo deciding to watch this video: sounds like an afternoon 👁👄👁

Ashley just embodies fall! She's my comfort youtuber 💗🥺

As much as I love Scythe, I wouldn't recommend it as an intro to fantasy, because it isn't fantasy. Scythe is actually sci-fi, and it is a great intro to sci-fi. It just isnt fantasy

Holy shit!! She didn't show The Lightning Thief!! Literally shocked. *giggle*

I'm sad that you recommended not to carry on after Graceling - even if Fire isn't for you I really recommend Bitterblue and Winterkeep where familiar characters are re-introduced! Plus Fire has some Easter egg moments as it's set in the same world just a different magical location.

I agree with you about Throne of Glass. And even if I didnt it doesnt matter, each to her own. This book and author really grew on me. After watching so many booktubers diss and hate on SJM I really went into thinking im gna hate it but I wanted to form my own opinion. I stuck with Assassins Blade and ToG, and now in the third book...I like it. I really do. Calaena and Chaol after my favorite characters amongst all the fantasy books im reading rn. I have added the series to my September TBR and now my October TBR. I can see myself finishing the series and moving on to Thorn of....whatever those books are called. WHY DO I LIKE IT??? Well... You know there's alot of fantasy out there. YA and Adult. And tbh with whats going on in the world, you really just gotta pick with YOU ENJOY. Fudge the naysayers. Time is short ya'll. Do what you enjoy. DO YOU. And if SJM is your thing. Each to your own

I recommend "The Court of Miracles" by Kester Grant, I absolutely loved the story! I just couldn't put it down! It is a stand alone sadly but there are 3 love interests in total...An Assassin, The Prince, and A Survivor. The main character is a thief named Nina who is trying to save her sister from a guy called the Tiger. There are guilds of criminals and there are 8-10 guilds, whoever is apart of a guild are protected by that particular guild and are considered family and have to leave their blood family behind but, Nina does not leave her sister. Idk if I explained this well but in the end she does save her sister and I highly recommend this book

Nevermoor has been on my radar for a while so I'm definitely gonna pick it up soon !!

I love manga but, I really want to start read fantasy 💕 also my sis says I needs to read a book with no pictures 😅

I went to the book store the other day and picked a random book off the shelf. I took it home and really regretted not coming here and finding a recommendation. 😭 it was not a good book at all. Next time I’m at the book store, I’m looking for these. Thank you!

As I person who loves Namjooning, I really wanted some new recommendations. Thanks.

Please can you put the titles in the description? I find it so handy, and I’m sure I’m not the only one 😊

I read Scythe and A Song of Wraiths and Ruins only because you recommended them and I can say that I enjoyed both of the books and also love Scythe to death. I trust you more than any book youtuber for good recommendations because you got the taste for sure! Looking forward to reading more books recommended by you

I just finished all of an ember in the ashes series! I heard them as audiobooks and I can so recommend listening to them!

For Urban Fantasy, I recommend the Daniel Faust series and Harmony Black series from Craig Schaefer. The Harmony Black series is an off shoot from the Faust series, but you can start with it if you wanted to start a shorter series. I started with the Harmony Black series and then went back to read the Faust series and loved getting to know some of the characters better. It didn't hinder my enjoyment of either series. You can't go wrong.

So glad you included Nevermore! Also they have a release date for book 4!!

I just picked up Nevermoor for $3 at BAM. I can’t wait to get into it!

Mistborn is ny favourite fantasy series ever!!! i read Nevermoor by your reccomendation and i loved it!!

Ashley, almost fall coming out!❤️🍂

I wanna say.. ✨Thank you so much for all the amazing videos that you let us see, Literally I'm loving every video of yours! and hopefully this little message made a little smile on your face ✨

middle grade is my favorite genre! i loved this video!

What about stand alone fantasy recs, not part of a series

oh oh a recommendation video for people who are getting into adult fantasy because it can get intimidating sometimes so books like adsom, etc.

I’m just starting to get into fantasy, thanks for letting me know where to start! 😃

KAYAN KOLLYN: the spiral of the ellmott & messenger of the secret 😊😊😊 My favourite book after Harry Potter 😊😊😊 Waiting for your review for long time ❤❤❤❤

YES the GRACELING is so great 😩

I recommend SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS by Rajendra Sarilla. It's an amazing fantasy novel with powerful female characters and mind blowing war scenes. I read it on Kindle since paperback was not available outside India.

This is the video we all needed. Thank you, ash :)

I am starting to read fantasy and this was really helpful ty

+1 subscriber.... i loved the way you explained them

oh I hated throne of glass. so much so that I doubt I would try any book by that author again.

has anyone ever told you that you look a little like Miley cyrus? You're very pretty thank you for the book recs i'll check them out 💜

me, trying to recommend fantasy to my sibling who primarily reads contemporary: here read Priory of the Orange Tree 👁👄👁

Hello! Could you review the Lore of HID&GEM / Lore of HDnG? It's a wiki style read with very deep storyline, the fanbases would be super excited to see new reviews and video essays!!!!!!!!

Amri and the night brothers is a good book the 2 one is coming out in Jan of 2022 It’s about a girl who’s brother gose missing and she finds out about a magical world and her goal is to find him It is a chosen one book so if you don’t like that trope I don’t recommend this book that much Spoilers It’s one of those books where she is trying to get a place in a thing and your like she s going to get it and sometimes it’s annoying I know that wasn’t super spoilery but it kinda is if you read the book (I’m not making sense ) (I promise I’m better at talking kinda lol)

Yay! I’m early! For Fantasy!
