Several of Octavia E. Butler’s books are great for readers getting into fantasy: Kindred Wild Seed Parable of the Sower
-
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BOOK THREE OF EMILY WILDE BEING REVEALED! Immediately pauses your video to look it up. I adore this series and I love both covers but the North American cover has my heart. I am so happy that this Canadian author is so popular!!!
-
Shadow of the Gods was what did it for me. John Gwynne is one of my favorites at the moment, and even just with him alone I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do!
-
Technically speaking Harry Potter was my first fantasy series but it was definitely A Song of Ice and Fire and Mistborn that really got me into it . Cute af doggo btw.
-
I love this blue on you!! Looks stunning. Love the video too
-
I just met my first Cosmere fan IRL yesterday. I was wearing my Hoid shirt from the kickstarter and carrying the Stormlight bad. It was so cool. She is a medical provider I saw for the first time yesterday and she didn't ask about my shirt until the appt was over. I was so excited that I mentioned it to the check out woman and she said she wanted to start reading more fantasy so I recommended Mistborn. Overall, a good time.
-
If you are looking for nordic inspired (not so much norse inspired) fantasy world with less magic then I would recommend Odin's Child by Siri Pettersen. It's slow paced YA fantasy series. This series explores power, politics and faith really well in my opinion
-
Hi Elliot! I really enjoy watching your reviews -you got me into fantasy, and I am really enjoying it. Love the edition of Encyclopedia of Faeries, can you share where I could get this? It was the first book I read that sent me down the rabbit hole ❤
-
The Apothecary Diaries by Nekokurage & Natsu Hyuuga is top tier. (the anime is also fantastic) Maomao is my new favorite protagonist.
-
Great Video!
-
interested to see how you find the green rider series as you go along if you continue with it. Loved the first book, it was so nostalgic, and would be interesting if you share my opinion on it further into the series
-
Amen, Bloodsworn is one of my absolute favorites.
-
I’ll read the shadow of Gods! Love your content
-
I need John Gwynne in my life, also Joe Abercrombie too. Im in a serious slump. Great video. Love from Surprise, Arizona 🏜
-
What a gorgeous edition of a very secret society of irregular witches ❤ 10:01
-
Just finished Words of Radiance. Working my way through the Stormlight Archives to be able to read book 5 when it comes out.
-
It was taking a chance on Red Rising that got me back into reading fantasy a couple of years back :) Before that the last fantasy novel I read was Ash: a secret history by Mary Gentle in the early 2000s. Here in the UK it was issued as one huugggge volume. It could also be called alternative history, which is why I read it - full of ideas, great characters (including Ash herself). Seems to have been forgotten now, though it won at at least one major sf award ...
-
Have you checked out VE Schwab's comics? There's a short one called ExtraOrdinary set between Vicious and Vengeful and a story about the king of Red London when he was young called Steel Prince.
-
John Gwynne is amazing! I loved Shadow and Hunger of the Gods and am excited for Fury of the Gods. It’ll definitely be a preorder for me. 💙
