This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books that you have never mentioned on your blog.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books I love but have never reviewed. I started my blog about 2 years ago now and before then I never reviewed my books. I didn’t even really start rating books until I signed up for Goodreads which was in January 2018. So there are quite a large amount of books that I have read in my lifetime that I have never reviewed, these are the top 10 that popped into my head first!
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
Scythe by Neal Shusterman
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
As an avid fantasy reader most books/series are pretty long and I would say the majority are over 500 pages, so I figured why not go through my read list and pick out 5 books that I loved and would recommend that are all over 500 pages!
Red Sister by Mark Lawrence – 500 pages
The way that the story shifts and the revelations really start to come out was so well done, multiple layers of plot lines with different characters with different intentions. Convoluted fantasy books with a multitude of characters and magical elements are my favourite books of all time and this really blew me away!
The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima – 506 pages
The pacing was very well done and the writing was very engaging. I found I couldn’t put the book down once I started! This really has everything that I love about fantasy, a unique premise, an intriguing plotline and dynamic characters.
Dance of Thieves by Mary E Pearson – 508 pages
The actual story line was fantastic. All of the history of the town and the family and all of the secrets really kept me intrigued and eager to read on. I really made a connection with these characters and I was highly invested in their missions. I kind of didn’t want the book to end, I just wanted to keep reading and find out what’s going to happen next!
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss – 622 pages
The world is huge and the magic system is unique and interesting. I fell headlong into this book when I read it last year and I still find myself thinking about it every now and then.
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson – 1007 pages
This book as a whole is really enrapturing and is not at all difficult to read despite its size. Sure sometimes the overwhelming number of characters can throw you at first, but its so intricately detailed and explained in a way that it all just fits together perfectly. You can really get swept up into the narrative that Brandon Sanderson has created
