If you’re new to the fantasy genre, here are a few *completed* series that are great to start with. Each of these have a different ‘focus’ (mainly plot, romance sub-plot, mainly romance, etc) so that you can taste test what works best for you 💕
Changed my brain chemistry
Throne of Glass Series
Beginner fantasy rec (with dragons 😍🐉)
Eragon (Inheritance Cycle #1) by Christopher Paolini, Paperback
Classic Faerie characters in a plot driven story
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) by Holly Black
It’s like a YA game of thrones with a little more love lol
The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles, #1) by Mary E. Pearson
Witch-witch hunter, Salem witch trials meets Bridgerton
Heartless Hunter (The Crimson Moth, #1) by Kristen Ciccarelli
Easy to grasp magic system, insane plot twists
The Prison Healer #1 - Lynette Noni
One of the best trilogies. I think about it often. One of the few books where a love triangle was done really well.
Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare
One of my favorite softer FMCs. This story feels like a whimsical fairytale
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
A prequel of sorts to OUABH but can be read separate from the other series too
Caraval #1 - Stephanie Garber
The series that reignited my love for reading in my adult years. A classic to recommend.
A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 1): ...
Rivals to lovers, urban fantasy (great if you don’t want an overly complex world)
Divine Rivals (Letters of Enchantment, #1) by Rebecca Ross
