Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 22 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

I was reluctant because of the hype, but I finally did last year and it’s GREAT. If you like tight squads, memorable characters, heists, and next-level scheming, you’ll love Six of Crows.

@legumesss 4 года назад

I highly recommend Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It has the best magic system and action sequences I have ever read in a book. The "mystical creatures" (if you can call them that) are also incredibly interesting, nothing like the usual elves/fairies/orcs you find in high fantasy. I can't even describe how much I enjoyed that trilogy.

@mati_deborealbooks 4 года назад

Aleo Vera omg yes! also the magic feels so scientific!

@dinaatjuh 4 года назад

im a new fantasy reader but out of all the books i tried the Mistborn series is my fav, it's just so good, so epic, the pinacle of fantasy writing (not that I would know but thats the feeling I was left with)

As for ya fantasy, I recommend The diviners series and The last magician (both of those are historical fantasy), Strange the dreamer and the Spellslinger Series (the last one ia soooo underated)

@DanielCifer 4 года назад

Definitely the Witcher series, it has some of the best character and relationship work that the genre has to offer imo. Its tone is quite dark and a lot of politics packed in it, which is also a plus for me. I'd also recommend the Wheel of Time written by Robert Jordan, some amazing world-building and very interesting magic systems. Mistborn from Brandon Sanderson is also one of my favourite. The world is not as grand as WoT or most epic fantasy but the lore is deep and interesting, the character work is also compelling and just overall very well-written.

@Mark-in8ju 3 года назад

I recently finished reading the Mistborn Trilogy. It is possibly the most impressive and expertly written fantasy I have ever read. The magic is portrayed very rationally; it almost fells like a branch of science instead of random nonsense. All of the characters acted like real people with believable actions and motivations. The plots were completely original with few to no flaws or plot-holes. I enjoyed reading Mistborn more than any other book series.

@rikasaels9082 4 года назад

omg this is EXACTLY how i feel about the Shades of Magic series -- the first one really didn't stand out to me, but the second and third absolutely blew me away. Also the Gilded Wolves -- what an amazing book I love so much

I finally read a Darker Shade of Magic recently and absolutely loved it. I ordered the 2nd and 3rd books and can't wait for them to come in to finish the series.

@Elentirion 4 года назад

I highly recommend The Lord of the Rings, a must read for every fantasy fan. I also recommend The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan), lots of influences from Eastern philosophy there and a unique form of magic. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy also has a really interesting magic system based off of thermal energy.

@masterkalel06 4 года назад

Yep. If you haven't read Tolkien yet, you are missing the fundamentals of the genre. Even if LOTR is not your favorite, it's the most influential and possibly greatest work of fiction in the 20'th century.

@melissap.3554 4 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the elements in contemporary fantasy come from The Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings, so reading the roots of fantasy gives you a different perspective on YA (and non YA) fantasy books

i love what you said about shadow and bone being the blueprint because i feel the exact same way! a lot of fantasy books modeled themselves after it tbh. I love the series, and it also holds a very special space in my heart due to it being my reintroduction to reading and the first books booktube made me pick up.

@zofiabochenska1240 4 года назад

I see others suggested it already, but Mistbron and Lies of Locke Lamora seem like something you can enjoy. You can also give Witcher a try, however it's quite dark. Two first books are short stories, many of them are quite loose retellings of fairy tales,. They follow the same characters, so they don't read entirely as short stories, and then the next books get more political and epic. It's praised mostly for the character work, and the humor, sadly, a lot is lost in translation. Still, highly recommend!

@books_for_bees4476 4 года назад

I loved the Inkheart series when I was younger and I think our tastes might be similar now so if you want to dive into middle grade/early YA for fun that would be a great series to go for! It’s honestly still one of my most favorite series of all time 😍

I have a recommendation for you: "Ship of Magic" by Robin Hobb. It is adventurous, very character-focused (so much character growth over the trilogy!), characters with very nebulous morals (pirates), a mystery surrounding epic creatures, lots of sea-faring adventures, and I think it represents different women really well.

@marianadias6769 4 года назад

I read the Shadow and Bone trilogy this year for the first time and I loved it 😅 Alina can be annoying at times, but the world is still really cool and Nikolai and the Darkling are such amazing characters (and I may have a crush on both of them 🙃) I understand that the tropes in that book may be overdone for people who read lots of ya fantasy, but that's not my case, until last year all I read was contemporary (with the exception of Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire, but they don't have most of those tropes) so Shadow and Bone was still original for me

@weronikaryfka3088 4 года назад

I really recommend the Wheel of Time series (adult). If book 1 doesn't sell you, book 2 will. The prose is really atmospheric but not overly flowery. Daniel Greene was the one who actually convinced me to read it and I do not regret it at all! (There will also be an TV series soon, so it would be fun to get on the hype train now)

It's an adult high fantasy book that has a magic system based on tech; and the plot is about a heist, so I think you would like it!

@ic3412 3 года назад

you‘ll love mistborn series by brandon sanderson!! absolutely fell in love with it, it‘s a world where people have the ability to burn certain metals and according to the metals they can burn they get certain powers. the main character is a bit morally gray and it‘s all about a rebellion, a war and there is some romance in it. full of adventures and plot twists 10/10

@sweetpea9497 3 года назад

I’m 31 and just read the Shadow and Bone trilogy for the first time and really enjoyed it. I didn’t find Alina cloying at all actually. I’m not generally into fantasy, but wanted some escapism, so I gave it a try. I ended up reading the trilogy in like a week and immediately purchased 6 of Crows, which was decent, but like you said, the pacing was a bit slow. I just started Crooked Kingdom today and I’m enjoying it so far!

@maliusribeiroborges7578 2 года назад

You should give the king killer chronicle a go, it's a really good fantasy about the owner of a "hotel/bar" in the middle of nowhere who was once considered a hero and a legend by many, the story is about how he ended up in that position. The book has an amazing power system but what made me fell in love with it was how the author make small things such crossing a bridge or walking around the city so enjoyable, there's really a magic feeling to it.

@ochoheido 3 года назад

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson will always be one of my favorite fantasy books not because I think it is the best, but because it is the first adult epic fantasy I ever read and it really opened up my eyes to the possibilities of reading books in the adult epic fantasy genre. It caught my eye by having a woman on the cover and was so colorful... I debated buying it for a long time because I didn't even understand the synopsis on the back, but I'm so glad I went for it. (I also love that it is a standalone.) So I totally understand why the Grisha trilogy is so special to you. :)

The magic system is based on knowledge/science and is quite loose and open :)

I felt it when you said about teenager problems in YA books. I just entered my twenties and I couldn't read books for a while now, and I always have this fear of missing out on all the feels that books give to the fullest just because I'm over the age. For example I read the folk in the air series recently and I was so disappointed in not reading it earlier. My younger self would have loved it but when I read it I felt like reading a children's book. I have a long list of YA books to cover and I don't have the time!!!!! Aaaaghhhhh!!!!!!

@cmm5542 Год назад

I was in my 30s when Folk of the Air came out. I'd teach it in my secondary school classes because the writing and plot is SO superior to the average YA fiction. It could be good preparation for the Shakespeare requirements everyone struggles with as the culture is very Tudor and the characterization reminded me very much of the Bard himself! As a professional, I cannot say I found it in the least childish. I have heard this objection before, but I am curious as to what it is based on? Jude is far more mature than the average fantasy heroine and the book deals with very adult concerns with all the political angles. I'm sure you have a reason you felt it was 'too young', but would you mind explaining precisely what it was so I can take that into account with my students? Thanks. 🙂

Six of Crows would definitely be on my list as well. I love it so much. I really need to read Shadow and Bone, I want to but just haven’t gotten to there yet. I d e f i n i t e l y recommend trying Sanderson at some point - Mistborn is a great entry to the cosmere, Stormlight Archive is very very epic fantasy and has a big learning curve but once you’re past it then it’s brilliant. A Winter’s Promise is also one I would recommend - it uses magic very interestingly and I was quite impressed how it wove into the plot.

If you haven’t read them yet, you should totally read the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden! They seem like the kind of books you would enjoy; I read the first two and reading them felt like being sucked into a fairy tale! And the series is set in medieval Russia!

I think a few people mentionned it already, but you should try the mirror visitor by Christelle Dabos ! I loved it, it is really well written, the world is so strong and the Magic system is really new and interesting

I reread the first two ADSOM books in April/May before to read the third one (I still have to read it) and I loved them just as much as I did the first time ! They are definitely not the most original books out there, true, but I love the idea and the world so much, it's kind of a comfort read. Also, I may or may not be in love with Kell 🙈 I never finished the Grisha trilogy but I read the first 2 books twice, and they're really cliché and quite cringey, but oh my are they fun to read ! What I love most in fantasy are characters, as a_ great cast can make the most boring plot enjoyable if the banter is 10/10. I also love the magic and whimsy, these worlds that are so unlike our own boring one, and so fun to explore. And last, I'd say adventure, because who doesn't love adventure ?

If you enjoy character centered plot and dont mind some dark fantasy elements then the First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is excellent in terms of a character centered adventure story.

I don't really read fantasy but o recommend The name of the wind 💕

@Doman0204 3 года назад

I think there's already a comment recommending it... but Mistborn series by Brendan Sanderson! It sounds like it would be right up your alley - epic fantasy, an amazing "magic" system that I think is completely original but others who have read more than me feel free to correct me. The foreshadowing, the mystery, the adventures, everything about it! I could not put it down

Oh dang, I’ve not heard a single person say the gilded wolves was a blend of a bunch of different mythologies and it has a purpose... that’s EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting Also...uprooted is my favorite book and you should definitely check out city of brass if you haven’t!
