Top 10 Fantasy Books

Fantasy is the genre full of magic, wizards, creatures, kingdoms, and a hundred other things

So here are the top 10 Fantasy Books / Book Series according to me...

# 10 - Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber

It's a trilogy about a magical circus where a game is played and how people sometimes even go mad while playing it. The first book is about Scarlett who thinks her sister is lost and the only way to find her is to win the game. It has a unique fantasy system, interesting characters, lies and deception, and romance sprinkled throughout.


# 9 - A Court of Thorn and Roses Series by Sarah J. Maas

I know there are a lot of haters of Sarah J. Maas but this is one of the best series. The book that started the Fae trend in books. Originally, set as a Beauty and the Beast retelling, as the series progresses it turns into something better. It has the fae court world, mates and romance, friendships, talks about mental health and each character has a unique backstory.


# 8 - Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas

The best Sarah J. Maas series out there. It was her first work, spanning 8 novels with a total of 4896 pages. The series starts out slow and just evolves into something big and better. Full of all the fantasy elements you could think of, except well vampires but besides that, it has everything. It has a vast fantasy system, amazing friendships, iconic couples, adventures, quests, and a final war worth waiting for.


# 7 - Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Another book is set in a setting of a circus. It is a book about two magicians who choose people for a magical competition which decides who is better. But this time the two people they choose, fall in love. It's a story about hope, family, and how to escape fate. Stories intertwined with other characters. The characters are truly the people who hold the plot.


# 6 - Ember in the Ashes Quartet by Sabaa Tahir

One of the best ya fantasy series out there. It has the most unique magic system. The politics are like a mirror reflection of our own world. You grieve for each and every character from the protagonist to the antagonist. All seem just in what they do. An emotionally wrecking series and that keeps getting better with each book. It has friendships, death, complex family relations, and star-crossed lovers' romance.


# 5 - Dance of Thieves Duology by Mary E. Pearson

Set in a medieval fantasy realm. Full of social fantasy politics. It explores different tropes to the full end and makes them better. The plot is complex and interesting to read. The characters are raw in emotions. It has enemies to lovers, family dynamics, wars, and spies. It has everything you could ask for.


# 4 - Sands of Arawiya Dulogy by Hafsah Faizal

Definitely, the best fantasy duology I have read. It has assassins, hunters, and spirits. The plot is amazing. It has well-built political intrigue. The magical creatures and items are unique. The characters have amazing backstories that define their actions well. It has a unique fantasy world, complex relations, and a whirlwind romance of enemies to lovers.


# 3 - Starless Sea

Zachary Rawlins finds a book about his life in a library, and he decides to follow it where it goes, only to find his story is just a part of a larger one. A story about a library, lovers, friends, and most of all - time, fate, and death. Erin Morgenstern always writes beautiful, lyrical stories. It's well thought out and leaves no threads open. The characters are complex and almost feel real. Not all have tragic backstories but still feel raw in terms of their stories.


# 2 - The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare

This is one of the best fantasy series and also one of the longest. It consists of the Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Dark Artifices, the Last Hours, and a other few companion novels and it's a still ongoing series. Set in the same world but during different periods of time. Each character is complex and there is a lot of representation. Cassie rights amazing romance and it's evident in her books. The fantasy system starts out as cliche but turns into something unique. Full of loved tropes and it has the best love triangle written to date.


# 1 - The Folk of the Air

Booktok's Favorite Enemies to Lovers is my favorite too. It is set in a fae world and our main character is human. It has amazing political intrigue. The characters are written in a way that makes you despise them and love them at the same time. There isn't a single clickable character in this series and yet the way it's written makes it so enticing to read. It follows one main trope but it does it so well.

 

Till the next

Happy Reading...
