Fantasy Book Rec
Helllooo I’m looking for my next fantasy read. Here’s my qualifications (just thing I typically like in fantasies):
- 3rd person
- solid magic system
- good but not too extensive/confusing world building (I’m a dumb bitch and lose focus)
- low romance but you know what I do like just a sprinkle
- I don’t mind YA (in fact I typically really enjoy it)
Fantasies I’ve liked in the past:
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (+ all of her other stuff)
- The Sword of Kaigen by M.L Wang
- The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
- An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
- Throne of Glass by SJM
- Red Rising (the first one ((I will admit I DNF’d the second idk why I just couldn’t vibe with all the intergalactic battles it felt like we got no where?? Unpopular opinion I know)))
- Heir by Sabaa Tahir
- Vicious by V.E Schwab (+ all her other stuff)
Other fantasies I have read and did not love (so they don’t get recommended):
- Fourth Wing by Yarros (1st was fine? 2nd terrible. Didn’t try the 3rd)
- The Poppy War by R.F Kwang (like it was okay but I just did not vibe with the characters?)
- Mistborn by Sanderson (someone dies and it PISSED me off. Liked the magic system tho)
- One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig (couldn’t vibe with characters)
- Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent (magic system was non existent)
- Dungeon Crawler Carl (actually decent but I just could not get locked in. Maybe too weird for me?)
- Other popular romantasies (I usually DNF them so fast bc the characters are ridiculously dumb)
Sooooo anyone got anything?
