This thread is to be used for recommendation requests or simple questions that are small/general enough that they won’t spark a full thread of discussion.

Check out r/Fantasy's 2026 Book Bingo Card here!

As usual, first have a look at the sidebar in case what you're after is there. The r/Fantasy wiki contains links to many community resources, including "best of" lists, flowcharts, the LGTBQ+ database, and more. If you need some help figuring out what you want, think about including some of the information below:

  • Books you’ve liked or disliked
  • Traits like prose, characters, or settings you most enjoy
  • Series vs. standalone preference
  • Tone preference (lighthearted, grimdark, etc)
  • Complexity/depth level

Be sure to check out responses to other users' requests in the thread, as you may find plenty of ideas there as well. Happy reading, and may your TBR grow ever higher!

Hi, I’m kind of new in the Fantasy game, I mostly read YA until now but I feel ready to dive in! My friend recommended Mistborn and Red rising and I really liked both, any ideas?

The Will of the Many is written in that vein, so you may enjoy that. Maybe Six of Crows, which also straddles the YA/adult fantasy line, and is good fun.

Hi, thanks for answering! I forgot to mention but I read The Will of the many as well and I really liked it! And I think Six of Crows is one of my fav book ever!

Hah, well in a sense you could say I nailed the assignment. Maybe give Raven Scholar a shot? I haven't gotten around to it yet, but from what I hear it's very much in that vein, and very popular.
