Adult Fantasy
My ultimate go-to genre will always be fantasy.
This is my favorite Dark Academia Fantasy of ALL TIME! It's a standalone, it's dark, it's got a really unique magic system, and it's life-changing.
Blood Over Bright Haven: A Novel
An insane war fantasy trilogy with one of the most morally grey-to-black unhinged FMCs in the genre. This will hurt and you will thank the author for it.
The Poppy War Series by R.F. Kuang
A lush Muslim-inspired world and culture to immerse yourself in, along with a compelling trio of main characters wrapped up in ancient djinn politics. This is what Fantasy should be!
The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty
YA Fantasy
An underutilized Fantasy genre by adult readers! All of the angst and none of the spice, perfect for readers of all ages.
This is the prequel trilogy to the Shadowhunters universe (one of my all-time faves) and is so beautiful, featuring the greatest love triangle of all time.
The Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare
An Arthurian legend retelling through a Southern Black lens that is incredibly powerful and diverse, with representations of grief and feminine rage that will bring you to tears.
The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deonn
Sci-Fi
Space operas, aliens, robotic warfare, you name it.
An epic space opera sci-fi with a morally grey mastermind that just wanted to sleep under the stars with his love.
Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown
An insanely beautiful sapphic romantic sci-fi standalone about two enemy time travelers turned yearners across history.
This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
Romantasy
Fantasy with a romantic subplot that is nearly as important to the main story.
An urban-celestial mixed epic Fantasy Romance series with an insane enemies-to-lovers pipeline, devastating found family, and an absolute baddie of an FMC.
Gods & Monsters Series by Amber V. Nicole
Elite adult Fantasy Romance duology with true enemies to lovers and an Egyptian-inspired world. The FMC is going crazy, and I loved every minute of it.
The Scorched Throne Duology by Sara Hashem
A STUNNING HEARTWRENCHING romantic Fantasy standalone surrounding a sacrificial timeloop of a lady knight dying again and again for her queen and country, told through the lens of her ever-devoted squire and scholar.
The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow
