I was kind of coming up blank on what to post today until I seen this fun fantasy tag that your kind of not supposed to think to much about just write down the first thing that came to mind which is what I did! See the original tag HERE!
5 STAR BOOK
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson – this is the first book of the Mistborn Trilogy an amazing adult fantasy series that I absolutely devoured! The first book established the characters and the world so wonderfully and the plot expands and builds up so intricately over the course of the series.
ALWAYS GOING TO RECOMMEND
The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson – another wonderful series by Brandon Sanderson that I cannot recommend enough. Granted this is a very convoluted, epic series with each book over 1000 pages so I would say it’s definitely not for those just beginning their foray into the world of fantasy. But if you are a high/epic fantasy lover I would 100% recommend if you haven’t picked them up yet!
OWN IT BUT HAVEN’T READ IT YET
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang – a very popular fantasy read that came out last year, also one of my most anticipated books on my TBR simply because of the hype that was surrounding it. When it comes to hype around fantasy books nine times out of ten I will pick them up and give them a read simply because I just simply love fantasy.
WOULD READ IT AGAIN
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J Maas – It’s been over two years now since I first completed this series and I really enjoyed it in particular A Court of Mist and Fury. That book just blew me away let me tell you! But because its such a polarising series I kind of want to give it a reread and see if I have the same feelings the second time around.
IN ANOTHER WORLD
The Lord of the Rings Series by J.R.R Tolkien – I have just always been fascinated by Middle Earth as well as the Undying Lands. When I read the books I was just so immersed in the details of the world and I loved how expansive and immensely real this fantastical realm seemed.
BACK ON EARTH
Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling – I’ve really been on a Harry Potter kick of late and it seems like my mind never strays day from the Wizarding World.

Oh gosh, The Poppy War was DEVASTATING but also one of my favourite books of last year. It pulls no punches (the opposite: it slips a few more in when you’re down) but it does so much with every part of the narrative and characters. One of the best fantasies I’ve read recently (with The Fifth Season and The Traitor Baru Cormorant; although HALLELUJAH for The Tethered Mage as a pick me up).
