Fantasty/Romantasy Book Series Recs to Make You Love Reading Again
16
items Did you love The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and Twilight when you were younger? Here’s a list to fuel that love for reading again!
This was the series that made me love reading again. OBSESSED is putting it mildly. I’d recommend reading this series 1st in the SJM universe, but can be read 2nd. Finished series.
Throne of Glass
Another great one by SJM. More romance themes with also great plot and world building! I’d recommend reading 2nd in the SJM universe, but can be read 1st. Unfinished series.
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J. Maas
Modern day fantasy which is an interesting spin! Loved it so much. Unfinished series. I recommend reading this SJM universe series 3rd.
Crescent City
This is a great one to start with if you have never read anything in the Romantasy genre before. Involves dragons and takes place at a war college.
The Empyrean — Rebecca Yarros | #1 NYT Bestselling Author
Such a unique magic system! I loved it. Finished Duology
The Shepherd King Series by Rachel Gillig
Such a good read! About a yearly competition/performance you need an invitation to. This Stephanie Garber series should be read before Once Upon a Broken Heart.
Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber
Love Stephanie Garber’s writing style. This is my favorite between the two series (Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart). LOVE the character Jacks
Once Upon a Broken Heart Series by Stephanie Garber
LOVE! Good plot twists and keeps you entertained
Crowns of Nyaxia Series by Carissa Broadbent
Young Adult (YA) and very good series overall. Quick reads
The Prison Healer Series by Lynette Noni
Political fantasy series with a romance sub plot. Recommend if you’re a fan on the “didn’t you get my letters?” trope
The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black
My first Norse-inspired fantasy romance! A Duology
Saga of the Unfated by Danielle L. Jensen
Ahh this romantic fantasy series is so fun! Unfinished series, planned for 4 books. 3rd book, Accomplice to the Villain, just came out August 2025. I love the dynamic between the MMC and the FMC in this series and it’s honestly SO funny!! Kingsley is...
Assistant to the Villain Series by Hannah Maehrer
Romantic fantasy duology with dual POV! A witch and a witch hunter… need I say more?
The Crimson Moth Series by Kristen Ciccarelli
The series is long but is so fun! It reminds me of how I feel when watching reality TV in that I can’t stop watching and I eat that up haha. Can’t look away and can be ridiculous at times but you love it anyway!!
Zodiac Academy
If you can get over the name of the MMC, this is great (it just gave me a little ick haha). If you’re an audiobook girlie the MMC’s narrator is magnificent!!
Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1) by Callie Hart
Arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire… oh I loved this so much! From my understanding this was Ali’s first Romantasy book and I think she did a great job. Second book (Mate) comes out October 2025 and I can’t wait!!
Bride (Bride, #1) by Ali Hazelwood
