The most recent trilogy i read is the invisible library by cogman. It’s a good read.
It isn’t a trilogy though, there is a 4th book out now and she has said that she plans on writing more.
Tom Robb Smith “Child 44 followed by The Secret Speech & ending with Agent 6

Isn’t every Ya series a Trilogy these day? ? The only consideration is whether it’s Epic or not! ? my recommendation would be The darkest minds (originally a trilogy, now like 5 books) x
The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson
Good trilogy, but in no way an epic.
The Red Queen series isn’t a trilogy, but it’s a GREAT series!
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Red rising was originally a trilogy but now has a fourth book and a fifth on the way, great series tho
Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings. It’s about 4 or 5 trilogies that all tie in together. The character development is truly amazing. These books are truly Epic. ❤️

It’s going to be quartet by ember of the ashes

Isn’t this a Colleen Hoover novel?
Yes
The post asks for epic trilogies. ☺️
Depends on what you mean by epic. I just finished reading two science fiction trilogies that I considered epic.
There’s only one definition of epic.
The Baroque Cycle.
Discovery of Witches
What do you like?
Brandon Sanderson has several – start with mistborn though. Then storm light archives.
Twilight
Dark tower
If you want epic…The Dark Tower ❤
Any of David Eddings series are wonderful.
Black magician by Trudi Canavan
Deborah Harkness – All Souls Trilogy
Can’t go wrong with Lord of the Rings by Tolkien! ?
? Age of Gold Series by May Sage! ?
The Millennium Trilogy
Mistborn
Game of Thrones series by George R. R. Martin, The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, any of the multiple series by Tad Williams
His Dark Materials
TOLKIEN !
That’s what I said! ?
The stormlord quintet by Tom Lloyd..
And for those saying Lord of the rings, the children of hurin is the best thing Tolkien ever wrote, really puts Lord of the rings in the shade..
Well… For fantasy – the stormlord – Tom Lloyd
For historical fiction – the forgotten legion – Ben kane
I read all 8 books of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. It is great!
Agreed. Though I would still rank Tom Lloyds first series above it. Liked the tower books, hated the film though..
Clockwork series by Cassie Clare
Lord Of The Rings. Epic til the end of time.
Agreed! ?
Not by the definition of the term though.
It’s high fantasy, not epic fantasy.
Christi Avery Totally agree! ??
@Austin
@Austin
Lord of the Rings!
The Soul Forge Saga
Frank Herbert Dune trilogy (especially one and three)

This is an epic tale encompassing romance, horror, mystery and thrill. You definitely wanna get into it: https://www.amazon.com/Child-Destiny-4-Book/dp/B077MPYP8K/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

Epic Trilogies are quite rare, far and away the best Epic series is Donaldson’s ‘Chronicles of Thomas Covenant’but that’s two trilogies and a quadroligy.
Even Le Guin’s ‘Earthsea’ cycle contains five books, and that’s the smallest thing I’ve read that one can define as an Epic.
The Crown
The Chalice
The Tapestry
By @Nancy about a nun/spy in King Henry’s day!
Ooh that sounds like a bit of me! I love historical fiction! Shardlake being one of my favourites series, roll on October when the new one comes out! I’m going to have to check this series out immediately! ?
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo etc. But not too keen on the follow ups.
The Fair Margaret or Prima Donna Trilogy by F. Marion Crawford.
Nora Roberts In the Garden trilogy!
The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett > 1st book is titled “The Fall of Giants.”
The Eleanor of Aquitaine Series by Elizabeth Chadwick.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien is pretty much the definition of epic!
Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. There is a sequel trilogy as well. And he has another series, the Stormlight Archives, that will be ten books once finished I think ?
Yes! My absolute favorites.

Kingsbridge.
Pillars of the Earth trilogy!!!!!
LOTR.
Grishaverse. Bardugo.
Red Rising.
Deborah Harkness All Soul’s Trilogy
Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I loved a lot of series this year but this was a top pick, definitely epic, AND it’s actually a trilogy (as opposed to a duopoly or a longer series).
A game of thrones, dune, lord of the rings
Red Rising
Maze Runner trilogy
Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson or the Old Kingdom ones by Garth Nix
The Kingkiller chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss
Any of Robin Hobb’s trilogies are outstanding but he best way to read them is to start at the beginning (The Farseer Trilogy) and work in order above as they all tie up in the last series.
Also the Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin is fantastic, well worth reading.
Powder Mage trilogy by Brian McClellan He’s written a second set (2 books so far) to continue the story, but the first trilogy can stand alone.
The Discovery of Witches soon to be a new TV show
The Bone Season series. I just finished it. There are 3 books currently. Supposed to be 7 total. The author, Samantha Shannon has a great social media presence.
The Kingkiller Chronicles is amazing! But beware: the third book is not published yet.
And he is taking his sweet time!
It took 10 years for Follett to publish his third book.
@JoAnn aren’t we approaching that now?
@Ken I don’t know ?♀️ it was a news event in the book world with Follett.
Lord of the Rings!! ❤️
Hunger Games
