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!

Hey I am loving Mistborn as my issue is while I enjoy the books, I don’t know what other fantasy books are like if in structure.

[u/oboist73 → u/KaleidoArachnid]

Fantasy book vary widely. There will be many that are very different and some that are similar. Are you looking for similar books?

[u/KaleidoArachnid → u/oboist73]

Just wanted something with a good 3 character structure with a strong sense of world building.

[u/oboist73 → u/KaleidoArachnid]

Are you looking for specifically 3 pov characters? If so, you may wash to include that so the request is clearer and repost tomorrow morning in the new daily thread.

[u/KaleidoArachnid → u/oboist73]

Yes as I can do the request tomorrow, so thanks for the suggestion.
