Ultimate Beginner to Advanced Fantasy Books Guide 

Thank you so much for having me on the channel! It was so much fun! Also, please start Malice 👀

I started reading The Final Empire and I must say that Sanderson knows how to keep the readers hooked. Fascinating world building, amazing characters. I bought it a couple of days ago & am already halfway through. Totally recommended💥

I recommend The giving tree for beginner fantasy and the Holy Bible for a moderate to advanced fantasy read.

I love your passion and opinions about these books, Isa! Makes me want to join in a buddy read for sure. Appreciate these recommendations. Thank you!

Great recommendations! I agree with Brandon Sanderson being very accessible and a good choice to start. As I started reading fantasy at a very young age I have a lot of recommendations of my own. Beginner: - The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, honestly you can not go wrong with them. It's 7 stories, but very easy and fast to read. - Eragon by Christopher Paolini, it has dragons! Enough said.. - Magician by Raymond E. Feist, this was my first real fantasy novel and I loved it. It's not too complex at the start, but it turns it up at a good pace. For intermediate I find it difficult to think of any, since most books could just be beginner books as well: - Temeraire by Naomi Novik, it's a very underrated book and also has dragons! But it's set on earth during the Napoleonic War. It follows a British navy captain who discovers a dragon egg and becomes a dragon rider. It's very militaristic and political at times, but also very mellow and love the relationship with the dragon. - The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski, if you played the games or watched the show it's an easy transition. It's a classical medieval fantasy, with some mature themes. -The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne, I have not read Malice but I have read this one and I think if you love Vikings this is up your alley. Also dragons. (I'm sensing a theme here) For advanced you basically suggested all the ones I read, but there's a couple that might still be interesting. - A Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin, everyone knows these already and if he ever finishes the series they're gonna be instant classics, so you better read them! - The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, I have not read it but it's grimdark and a lot of people say it's good...

I’ve read all of these recommendations except Malazan which is my summer reading plans! I loved this😊❤

Ooh yay! More collabs, please. Especially when tastes complement each other but are different enough to give a well rounded viewpoint. Love you both ❤

Great video, thank you for the recommendations!!

Let us all know what books would you recommend!

Really liked this video, nice to see a collaboration. Great recommendations, need to read a few of these.😊

Thanks so much for these recommendations. As for the Dark Tower series it's THE best I've ever read, King connects some of his other books into that universe. Unreal ❤

Very nice video. Thanks

I loved this! ❤

Empire of the wolf is a great beginner adult fantasy it slowly introduces the fantasy elements slowly and the pacing is just right. Highly recommend

Such a good list! ❤❤❤ Ps, I'm a malazan lover😊

These types of videos are great for someone like myself who enjoys reading fantasy, but unsure of where to beginning. I love magic, shapeshifters, dragons, wolves and fairies.

- Circle of Magic & The Circle Opens series by Tamora Pierce - Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan - Songs & Swords by Elaine Cunningham

What a wonderful video, a lot of great recommendations for all level of readers. I would recommend elantris to your followers. I’m personally not a fan of WOT or Kings works, too strange for me.

It’s the best accent crossover on booktube!!!

I'm currently reading Assassin's Apprentice at the moment and I gotta be honest I'm pretty 'meh' on it so far. I always had a feeling I was gonna love the Liveship Trader Trilogy but not be that into the rest of the realm of the elderlings so I didn't really plan on reading them for awhile but I managed to happen across a brand new copy of Assassin's Apprentice for $1 and I couldn't pass it up, I'll keep going at least to the end of this book and hopefully by the end it will change my mind and I'll want to continue the series.

I am SOOO happy to see Malice here. 😁😁

I really need to start on The Mistborn series I'm so far behind 😅

Wow that alternative Stardust cover 😍Is it a foreign edition or AI-generated? I have been slowly collecting Malazan ebooks waiting for the day I'll be ready to tackle the series, but I feel it's going to be a while yet!

I’m not sure about six of crows… it is just Y/A with wish fulfilment which doesn’t set you up for fantasy. Mistborn is a much better option. Plus in my opinion, it’s just a much better book written by a better fantasy author (*Not y/a author*) I also think that the way of kings is a great option for beginners for audiobooks. Because the biggest thing that stops one of the greatest fantasy books ever written from being recommended for beginners is the page count. The audiobook has incredible narration and it flies by. It was the first fantasy book I ever read and boy am I glad I read it. If I could read it at 12 years old, so can you.

Are you from the U.S just curious the way you make the letter n is different from any i've seen before.

Great recommendations in general but I would have appreciated a criteria applied to each category. It wasn’t entirely clear why these selections were considered beginner to advanced.

Robin Hobb is the best, hands down

Gonna go off the beaten path and some decades back and say Weaveworld by Clive Barker

Six of crows is dark but it's really really good and I think that it's a really good start to more complexe fantasy too ! You will love to suffer XD

Wow good video!! ⚔️🎥

To everyone who is reading this comment, stop whatever you are reading and start, the sword of kaigen.

Ostia, la primera edicion de la guerra de las tormentas xD
