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
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. ❤️
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..
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.
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! ?
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 ?
I only have two fav series lux and covenant by Jennifer L. Armentrout ! I use to love twilight but once a movie comes out no matter how much I like it I can’t seem to go back to the books
Lol How dark do you like your fantasy? Children of Ankh series. I can hook you. You’ll need a box of kleenex for the tears and depends. You’ll pee yourself laughing.
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).
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.
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.
Finally finished the third book of my trilogy! So many wonderful reviews. Book one is only $.99 if you would like to start the unique journey of bird flu survivors that begin to grow bones on the outside of their bodies. Set in the Ohio Valley in the 1980s, this fantasy thriller is packed with a cool Gram that speaks in crazy phrases, a tiny piglet you never want to underestimate and loads of mystery, murder and magic! Check it out! NOW OVER 70 REVIEWS! Also available in PAPERBACK!
The most recent trilogy i read is the invisible library by cogman. It’s a good read.

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.

Not by the definition of the term though.
It’s high fantasy, not epic fantasy.
