items As an avid fantasy reader, here are the best fantasy books that you MUST read at least once in your life.
Starting off with this masterpiece by Leigh Bardugo. If you’re into the found family trope and heists, then this should be your next read. It follows a group of thieves with their own unique backgrounds and storylines, coupled with great character dy...
Six of Crows (Six of Crows Series #1)|Paperback
If you happen to like the book before this, then you would absolutely LOVE its sequel. There is more mischief and the heist is cleverer and more insane. There are times you just can’t stop turning the page! Also if you read this now: the next book co...
Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows Series #2)|Paperback
This one, dare I say, is a classic! It might be more dystopian than fantasy, and if you’re an avid reader, you’ve probably read this. But if not, then let me introduce it to you—this book follows the story of a girl who was set to compete in a game d...
The Hunger Games (Hunger Games Series #1)|Paperback
This is one of the highest rated books I’ve seen. What finally convinced me to read it was everyone saying that this has FANTASTIC world building, and it is giving The Hunger Games, and they were right. This book, set in the Golden Age of Rome, follo...
The Will of the Many|Paperback
Okay this next one is if you’re looking for a whimsical, fun read. It follows two sisters who get invited to this island and everything that happens to them inside is nothing short of wonderful and exciting and full of plot twists!
Caraval (Caraval Series #1)|Paperback
If I’m honest, I only recommended this series for THIS book. This sequel does not fall into the bad sequel curse. It expands more into the world of Caraval, incorporating mythology, and making things so much more interesting. Nevertheless, the plot t...
Legendary (Caraval Series #2)|Paperback
This is a long one, but don’t let the length fool you! This series is just so good at world building, and once you get the hang of it, I doubt you’ll find it hard to put down. The story is told in the perspective of two women on each side of a divide...
The Priory of the Orange Tree|Paperback
This would be again another good #WLW representation, with a no less tragic love story. It follows the lives of two women, one human and one part of artificial humans called automae who has taken over to rule the world. You can see how it gets compli...
Crier's War|Paperback
Are you a fan of mythology retellings? If you are, then this book is for you. It is a retelling of the life of the goddess of sorcery Circe, and incorporated in it are empowering themes and truths about being a woman and being different.
Circe|Paperback
This one is a cozy, light, magical read! It follows a witch who was asked to teach three young girls how to use magic, and on the way find a family of her own and a brooding handsome love interest! It’s filled with mystery and fun and fluff and swoon...
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches|Paperback
So one thing about this list is that it is not in any order, because THIS BOOK is still my absolute favorite fantasy read. It maybe an oldie, but still a goodie! This book delves into Greek mythology and incorporates it into the modern world. It foll...
The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series #1)|Paperback
This is a really good dystopian book! If you’ve liked the Selection, chances are you will like this one too. It is as romantic but circumstances are a bit more horrifying. It follows the life of Violet, trained as a surrogate for the royalty, who lat...
The Jewel (Lone City Trilogy #1)|Paperback
Oh this one is an electrifying (no pun intended) read! Set in a dystopian world, it’s the story of a girl named Juliet whose touch could kill and upon discovery, was taken to be a weapon of a ruling group from which she must escape. This book has sub...
Shatter Me (Shatter Me Series #1)|Paperback
