Epic fantasy at its finest! That description applies to everything I’ve ever read by Brandon Sanderson. The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.One of the first ever badass ladyhero fantasy series I ever fell in love with and a perpetual reread for me. These books rock, and it looks like a new one has been published since I last checked! A repressive society, a rebellion led by brave young people, badass swordfighting…etc. They have a different vibe – they’re spookier and so good. These take place in the same universe as Nightrunner, but many years before. Magic, elite spies, and a very sweet m/m love story. But I’ve read the first three over and over and over and over. They’re not as good after that – I haven’t even read the most recent one. I absolutely and unreservedly love the first three books of this series. The Nightrunner Series by Lynn Flewelling.I particularly love Death (he’s a character) and the Guards. DitL and I are doing Discworld on audiobook right now and it’s fantastic. You can read them in order or skip around. His many Discworld books all take place in the same universe, but there are sub-series within that: a collection of books about Death, about the witches, about the Guards, etc. His writing is clever, insouciant, insightful, silly, and full of joy. If you’ve never read Terry Pratchett, now is a PERFECT time. I’ve been raving about this in my IG story and I stand by my raving. The series was unfinished the last time I checked on it, so that means I have a couple more books to read now! The premise: one of three sisters will be Queen, but not until she kills the others. Badass assassin heroine, fun band of hero friends, interesting powers, dramatic plots! This series is pretty well known, and for good reason. All of them are fantastic! Fire is my favorite, but you should read Graceling first.

These are three companion books written in the same universe rather than a typical series, but the characters do interact with each other. A strong female main character, a fascinating and in-depth world, a gorgeous/heart-wrenching love story…I’ve read this series five or six times and I know I’ll be back for more. The Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo.

I have personally read all of these fantasy series and I’m including a brief summary for each. We’re kicking off Books to Binge Read with an annotated list of my top 55 (!) fantasy series recommendations.īooks to Binge Read: Fantasy Series edition. I’m talking books on books on books lush, detailed universes that you can binge read for days on end.


I don’t know about you, but I think that this moment in time is a perfect time for classic escapism: I love to lose myself in long, juicy fantasy series and romance novels, especially historical romances.
