Includes the following fantasy sub-genres: high, low, cozy, and urban.
Book #1 of The Farseer Trilogy. Robin Hobb’s writing is so amazing and immersive. This is a slower-paced fantasy read focused on politics and character dynamics/relationships, with a unique magic system to make it all the more interesting.
Assassin's Apprentice
Book #2 of The Farseer Trilogy. This book deserves all the freaking stars. So good!
Royal Assassin
Book #3 of The Farseer Trilogy. I am not going to spoil anything, just BEG you to read this series now!
Assassin's Quest
Book #1 of the Broken Earth Triligy. One of the best fantasy books I have read. N.K. Jemisin creates a world that feels so massive and ancient with layers of power dynamics, oppression and survival.
The Fifth Season
Book #2 in The Broken Earth Trilogy. Out of all of the books in the trilogy this one is probably the slowest, but it is still great and gets us to where we need to be in the last book.
The Obelisk Gate
Book #3, and final book in The Broken Earth Trology. I can't say enough good things about it. The perfect conclusion, so much imporant and relevant social commentary. *chefs kiss*
The Stone Sky
Read this if you need to feel something! Book one of the Letters of Enchantment duology. Iris and Roman have one of the sweetest and also most heartbreaking journeys. I would say this is more fantasy-lite too, so if you are not into high fantasy defi...
Divine Rivals: A Novel
Book two of the Letters of Enchantment duology. Iris and Romans story continues, and it is still continues to be sweet but also heartbreaking.
Ruthless Vows
The best cozy fantasy I have read so far! I love this world and characters with all it's magic, talking plants and flying cats. It also has the sweetest romance subplot too!
The Spellshop
Book #1 of The Burning series. This is a great and intense action packed read! It is a decently long book but all of the great detailed fight scenes keeps you going throughout.
The Rage of Dragons
Book #1 in The Sunbearer Duology. Young adult, Mexican inspired fantasy. Great representation, unique world and magic system, fun banter between characters, and so much more.
The Sunbearer Trials
Book #2, and final book in The Sunbearer doulogy. So good, and a great ending!
Celestial Monsters
Historical fantasy based in London at Oxford University, but at a made up college called Babel which is The Royal Institute of Translation. It explores language and translation and how it is weaponized in colonialism. Slow at first, but it picks up a...
Babel
Spicy Fantasy Romance❤️
Fantasy reads with great spicy scenes but also great plots!
Book #1 of the Blood Like Magic duology. Young adult, dark urban fantasy.
Blood Like Magic
Book #1 of The Witch Walker Series. My favorite fantasy romance! Charissa Weaks created an amazing world and unique magic system, also with some of the best love scenes I have ever read.
The Witch Collector
Book #2 of The Witch Walker Series. This book had an ending and I did not see coming and a cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for more!
City of Ruin
Book #3 of The Witch Walker Series (novella). Just as good as the other two books but with different perspectives!
The Wolf and the Witch
Obsessed with this book and Sarah A. Parker's writing style! This is a long one and also slower-paced but I loved every moment of the journey.
When the Moon Hatched: A Novel
Monster Romance😈
Some monster romance for you freaks out there! These recs also have great plots.
Book #1 of The Deep Waters series. Where my love for monster romance started! Wanna read about a girl getting kidnapped by a “merman” and then catching feelings? This one is for you! You get the spice you want from a monster romance read but also wit...
Whispers of the Deep
Book #2 of The Deep Waters series. Continuation of the plot from book one but focuses on a different human/merman pairing.
Song of the Abyss
Book #3 of The Deep Waters Series. Continuation of the plot from books one and two but with a different merman/human pairing.
Echoes of the Tide
Book #1 of The Kingdom Below Series. A human finds herself in an arranged marriage with a troll, and we follow their journey navigating their arrangement (and growing relationship) in a world threatening to tear them apart.
A Darkness So Sweet
Book #1 of the Mead Mishaps series. This is such a fun read! It is spicy, sweet, and funny with Kimberly Lemmings witty writing.
That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon
Book #2 of the Mead Mishaps series. This is my personal favorite out of these books. I just loved the dynamic between Brie and Felix.
That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf
Book #3 of the Mead Mishaps series. Just as sweet, spicy, and funny as the first two books!
That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human
