The Reading Faery: Fantasy Book Recommendations

Fantasy Book Recommendations

Recently, I've found a lot of new amazing books that I haven't really seen around much, so I decided to make a post featuring them. That way, I can give these amazing books more attention and at the same time hopefully help you guys find a new great read.

So, my first recommendation is the Steel and Stone series by Marie Annette. This amazing series was recommended to me by a close friend of mine, and I was happily surprised by how much I loved it - and from what my friend told me, I had really high expectations. I'm reading the third book right now. The main character is totally bad-ass and so much fun to read about, and the plot and world is really original and unique. It's fast-paced and filled with action, and I'm really excited to read the rest of the series!

The next one is Unhinged by Chani Lynn Feener, and is the first book in a Fantasy series based on Greek mythology. Now, as many of you may know, I absolutely love Greek mythology, and this series is a perfect example of how to use the mythology in a book. The attraction and tension between Spencer and Hadrian is tangible from the start, and I love how she twisted the story of Hades and Persephone. It made it original and unpredictable, and the twists kept surprising me and kept me on the edge. A definitive must-read for all Greek mythology fans!

The last recommendation is a very new release (it was published in August), and I have a feeling this book could become one of those books that appear everywhere in the bookish community. Mask of Shadows is a High Fantasy perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and Hunger Games. The main character is gender fluid Sal, who is relatable and interesting to read about. The plot and the world was captivating and I needed to find out more. And I loved the Left Hand! This book turned my world upside down with the twists and had me doubting everything I thought was real.

And that was it for today! Hope you found some new good reads. Tell me in the comments what your favourite underestimated books!

Dark Dystopia

Afterimage

by J. Kowallis

My rating: 4 of 5 hearts

"I set my head back and try hard to focus. The drugs keep my control slippery and out of reach. All the years of practicing to keep The Public out of my mind seems like stupidity. A picture begins to appear and I quickly push it aside."

Creative, devastating and intense. Afterimage introduces a dark and authentic world that will keep you hooked from page one. Following Reggie, whose dreams become reality, as she tries to figure out the world she lives in.

The world will keep you up at night and give you nightmares, but it is worth every moment of it!

Spellbinding NA

The Dreamer

by E.J. Mellow

My rating: 5 of 5 hearts

"I begin to dream of something familiar. I'm floating over a nearly empty field at night. A solitary elm tree rests in the distance. My body's warm with light, as bright as a star, and I move faster and faster, racing toward the tree."

The Dreamer follows Molly, an ordinary girl who gets hit by lightning and starts having dreams - dreams that are not actually dreams. The world Mellow creates is amazing and imaginative, and with writing that dreams are made of, she makes it feel more real that the real world.

A kick-ass heroine and an incredibly hot male doesn't exactly make it worse, either.

Kick-Ass Heroine

Whirl

by Emma Raveling

My rating: 4 of 5 hearts

"Emotions are powerful sources of energy. They are what makes us alive. They provide proof of our souls."

Kendra Irisavie is not only more than capable of handling herself in a fight, she's also a very powerful ondine. And supposed to end the war that's been going on for several millennia.

An interesting world and good writing, but the characters are the highlight of this story! A unique story, with great fantasy elements, and a must-read for YA-readers.

Epic Fantasy

First Year

by Rachel E. Carter

My rating: 4.5 of 5 hearts

"I would join combat or die trying... A fine choice of words. What had been meant as a melodramatic proclamation was now to be my intended irony."

This is a world you do not want to miss! The author drops small hints and clues that leaves you wanting more of the world, and has created an amazing, unique world. Layered characters and amazing world-building makes it a must-read for all fantasy-lovers.

This book will leave you with a false sense of security, only to rip the rug from under your feet and turn your world upside-down, leaving you wondering what's real and what's not.
