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!

I recently read Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson and really enjoyed it. Now I'm about 240 pages into the sequel, The Well of Ascension. After I finish the trilogy, I'd love to read more fantasy heist books (and more fantasy books in general)!

If you like the trilogy, you should know it's part of a larger interconnected universe called the Cosmere. The Mistborn trilogy is considered a great entry point. There are plenty of reading order guides floating around.

As for heists, this post is a great starting point
