oooh have you read the sands of arawiya duology? it's my fav thing ever right now <333

Six of Crows, Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, Warriors, and Percy Jackson are my favorites!!

crier's war by nina varela

I'd like to recommend some (maybe a bit underrated imo) romantasy YA seasonal reads

🌸 spring/summer: Flowerheart, a cute and cozy book despite some flaws.

🍂 autumn: The Scorpio Races, for everyone who had a "horse girl" phase, and even if you didn't (like me) give Maggie Stiefvater a chance, she is a solid writer. (maybe more magical realism than full fantasy)

❄️ winter: Down Comes the Night Gothic vibes and a pinch of enemies to lovers

Sabriel by Garth Nix is one of the most underrated YA fantasy books I've ever seen, plese check it out sometimess

Mistborn trilogy is soo good,
honestly anything by Brandon sanderson is greatt

Yesss Mistborn needs more attention on this side of Goodreads I wouldn't call it underrated but more people should read itt

I'm currently reading the stormlight archive series,,
and am now kicking myself for not reading it sooner

Oo if you haven't already you should read The Emperor's Soul. One of the Best Cosmere books in my opinion, but then again I haven't read Stromlight yet

have you guys read 'Elantris ' by Brandon Sanderson??? I'm kinda debating whether I should read it or not???

Really?
I should give it a try thenn
Stormlight is great, a bit slow in the beginning, but it builds up nicely,,
I'm in the third book right now and I'm equally torn between wanting to finish it and wanting to savour it slowlyyy!!

If you haven't read any Sanderson before then probably not, it's his debut novel and so objectively his worst book I suppose. Try maybe one of the standalones or shorter series? Warbreaker maybe?

I usually wouldn't say this but read it loll there's still 6 more books + the books in between to go through, and I'm sure you still have dozens of other Cosmere books to go through. Besides, there's a lot of long high fantasy series out there if you want that same feeling:D

True,,
it's amazing how many high fantasy books are theree
I have read the Lies of Locke Lamora which are brilliantly written and
Jay Kristoff's Nevernight series - his only book series worth reading tbh

Lol I tried Nevernight but couldn't get through it—Empire of the vampire was better? Or I think it's because there's not many Vampiric fantasy books not focused on Romance

The Storm Gathers!! It's a newish fantasy and it's soo good. There's pirates, royalty, witches and so much more! The Storm Gathers

The Prison Healer series, Defy the Night series, Percy Jackson series, The Infernal Devices series, and the Caraval series.
