Falling kingdoms, air awakens, the wrath and the dawn, kiss of deception, the winners kiss…just to name a few. ?
Thank you Faith! I’ve got falling kingdoms and kiss of deception on my TBR now
@Jordan I love both of those series and I just recently read the Air awaken series and it quickly climbed my favorite series of all time list! It’s amazing! An emotional train wreck but soooo good!
Which of those series has the most dark badassery?
@Jordan I would say air awakens or kiss of deception. If you meant of kiss of deception and falling kingdoms…ummm..maybe kiss of deception by just a tad.
Perfect thank you I’m always looking for some butt kicking mayhem !
raven cycle
Added to tbr!
shades of magic was amazing!
I loved it ! Excellent series
Have you read the Lunar Chronicles? I can’t remember.
I didn’t like it 🙁
@Jordan oh that’s right. Bummer. I love the Frog Princess. It might be MG, I can’t remember. But it’s an amazing series.
GoT has ruined me for a lot of stuff.
Also Spindle Fire. Incredible Sleeping Beauty retelling. The second in the duology comes out in April.
Does it need to be YA?
Nope
If you’re up to a massive series, Robert Jordans Wheel of Time is a must. Otherwise, the trilogy that got me into fantasy- R A Salvatore’s Icewind Dale trilogy.
I’ve read it ! Rand Al Thor ❤️? I haven’t read Icewind Dale I’ll TBR it
R A Salvatore is amazing. He’s got a new one out, completely unrelated. Icewind has an almost cult following. ??? Drizzt
Oh yea…I know this from my husband it’s D&D!
Wendy Darling.
Amazing series.
Oooh this looks twisted
It really is.
I adore this series.???
Have you read her Wonderland series?
Yes and I loved that one too.?
I haven’t read her contemporary series yet.
It’s not my favorite stuff to read, but… I love Colleen Oakes so I know I’ll read it at some point.
Personally I loved Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom and I’m planning to start the rest of the Grishaverse books
Yes to these!! They are amazing!
Six of Crows is sitting on my shelf should I start ?
@Jordan yesssss!!!!
Okay okay ! Lol
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children ?
Hate me but I didn’t like it 🙁 🙁
To each their own ? just thought I would suggest it!
Lunar Chronicles, The Hollows, The Grisha Trilogy
I keep seeing the grisha one pop up I’ll have to TBR it Ty
If you can wait a few months Red Queen
I read the first one and I’ll pioneer onward. Im hoping it gets better for me
Omg you just reminded me there’s gonna be another book
SOC duology
Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy
This savage song duology
A darker shade of magic trilogy
Ooh I think I’ll go for this savage song too. I’m getting quite the list
My husband swears the Iron Druid series is great. It’s more urban fantasy though.
I’ve read the first book and really liked it. #9 I think it’s coming out soon.
He listens to audio books at work but he liked this series so much he actually volunteered to buy me the hard copies so I would read them. That in and if itself makes me believe they are really good ?
I like them too! I think 9 is the last one, and I’ll be sad they’re done!
You should listen to them. The narrator is amazing! Can’t wait for the next (and last) book to come out next month. 🙂
That’s exactly what he said.
I love urban fantasy!
The Belgariad
High fantasy!! ❤️❤️❤️
Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson.
I also love the Night Angel trilogy!!
I’ve read the night angel but I’ve been putting off Sanderson because he writes TOMES. ?
Girl yes and yes!!! The Bowl of Souls series is another great Mistborn like series too Casia! One of my favorites!
Grisha trilogy / Six of Crows!
Not YA, but Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden and The Night Angels trilogy by Brent Weeks were beyond fantastic ❤️
People really like Grisha and six of crows. Definitely reading them soon
I read Six of Crows first and honestly connected with it more. BUT, as an afterthought now that I’ve finished Grisha, it gave a better idea of the magic system and the world set up!
I think I’ll definitely start with the Grisha books first because I do really enjoy world building
The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix!!??
I love that series too!
The Lies of Locke Lamora….
A fantasy with about tricksters and thieves?! ❤️
Inheritance Cycle
I love that series
I really liked the Grisha Trilogy.
Okay okay I’ll grab them already! ❤️
You will LOVE Nikolai.He shows up in book 2; Siege and Storm.
K guys I’m broke now.
Fionavar tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay (is going to be a tv series soon)
I’m Canadian…how did I not know about this series ????
For me, it’ll always be Lord of the Rings.
I haven’t reread in years ? nostalgic
Lunar Chronicles
And Harry Potter, TOG, and ACOTAR
Lol
Also Game of Thrones. I hear Falling Kingdoms is good
The grace king series is by far one of my FAVORITE series!!!
Lunar chronicles ?
Will always be Harry Potter for me. But love Alanna and The Immortals by Tamora Pierce.
Night Angel series by Brent Weeks, Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson, Bowl of Souls series by Trevor H Cooley and Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
The Magicians by Lev Grossman
Snow Like ashes
Graceling releam
Conjuring of light
Remnant chronicles
Six of crows
Flawed and perfect!
Lunar chronicles
My favorite is not YA, but they’re still enjoyable- the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. He created an awesome world and story to go with it.
If you like steampunk, my close second is the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger. Both of these series also have strong female protagonists.
Ruby red trilogy! time traveling 🙂
Game of thrones
TMI, TID, TDA
Six of crows
You guys are amazing. I have so many series now !
Parasol Protectorate is my absolute favorite.
The blood of Eden
The wind singer.
This series is #2 in my all-time favorite series. Slaves of the Mastery is my favorite!
