I love when you highlight stand-alones! I like that it is still impactful without being a huge commitment of 1,000+ pages

Fantastic video, You know me, I can't help but be drawn to beautiful data and this is BEAUTIFUL DATA. I find it very interesting how different stand-alone fantasy favorites tend to be from the fantasy series - but it was interesting to see that the top couple of books were still high-fantasy for the most part.

@@FunFantasyBooks Each of the books I’ve selected for the course is a different twist on a journey of self-realization. There are some wonderful psychological insights in Piranesi that I look forward to exploring with my students.

Wow, thank you! Any tips are welcome. I love The Nevernight Chronicles and The Mistborn Saga. I would like to read more adult fantasy rather than YA but all adult fantasy feel so intimidating 😅

one of the best fantasy books I have ever read is called Four wings of the dragon goddess by Theodora Quinn. Its got dragons and time travel all in one.

A lot of surprising entries, and many not-surprising ones! It's been a while since I heard The Ghost Bride mentioned, but people who've read it really loved it, I need to give it a try as well! Yay for Guns of the Dawn on the list!

I really want to get into The Ghost Bride! It def sounds like my cup of tea!! Yay!! I was so happy for Guns of the Dawn! Even if it was not in position number 2 which is where it belongs in my heart haha

@nazimelmardi 7 месяцев назад

Well, without starting it: Neil Gaiman’s any book. He is the master of storytelling. Fact. From child books to graphic novel? What he started it turned to gold. Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. It can be handled as standalone too (especially the starting books of each series). It’s just a masterpiece as it is. And together comes Good Omens. As for Sanderson’s? Of course he is mentioned. He is in the hype loop at this point and by definition they have to talk about all his books on their channel if they want good for the algorithm. That was with Harry Potter back then. Everyone talked about it. Period.

@zem_fm 7 месяцев назад

I was surprised to see The Ten Thousand Doors of January so far up the ranking! There's a lot of books on this list that I have yet to pick up 👀

@FunFantasyBooks 7 месяцев назад

@bobkeane7966 7 месяцев назад

i really enjoyed the Night Circus

@FunFantasyBooks 7 месяцев назад

@lurkingturkey7882 7 месяцев назад

Gaiman always struck me as a bit of a Clive Barker-lite. Highly Recommend Barker's: The Thief of Always, Weaveworld, Imajica (foremost), The Books of Blood

@TheApplesauce1992 5 месяцев назад

Sci-fi/Fantasy and Magical Realism from Asian authors is my only saving grace at this point. Plot lines have become so predictable that I don't enjoy reading anymore. Tropes are one thing, a predictable plot and bad writing is another. I will forgive a lot but... the experience of reading is not the same for me. What's worse is that I can't trust reviews anymore because i don't' know who has been bought off. The book world kinda sucks right now. All of this to say.... thanks to your video and research, I have some books I can look into🥲🥲❤❤

@AdrianaB 2 месяца назад

Not me just commenting because I'm happy that you have the same opinion as me of The Priory... I was sad that the ending felt rushed after all that specially good worldbuilding. Also, I didn't know when I started it that it was a (feminist) Sant Jordi retelling, and while reading, I started to have my suspicions that later were confirmed with a quick Google search. Also, I'm writing down some recs thanks to this. What a video, girl! You definitely put hard work into it. Well done! ps: not a fan of Addie Larue... I was just meh when I read it. ps2: Babel

You should definitely read Zeynep Sahra's "Love pie". Zeynep Sahra is a Turkish writer, and I think you should also read another Turkish writer's book, "Liars and strangers", by Emre Gül. I would be very happy if you read it.
