10 book series I always recommend to friends

Crescent city by SJM not pictured

In March of ‘24 a friend recommended the ACOTAR series and I was like ughh idk about fantasy books 🙄 but I will try it. - I am so happy I did! I fell in LOVE 😍 with the fantasy genre and have been devouring other series since!!!! I was worried nothing would help me with my ACOTAR hangover. Although it’s still my FAVORITE- these other series have been sooooo good too!

If you are thinking of giving fantasy books a try, I recommend these series! The world building, characters and magic and so fun! 🤩

🔴 trigger warning for the plated prisoner series

Among them, the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' (ACOTAR) series has gained immense popularity for its rich storytelling and intricate world-building. The Plated Prisoner series offers a unique twist on fantasy tropes with its engaging characters and intense plotlines. Additionally, the From Blood and Ash series captivates readers with an epic tale of love, betrayal, and adventure, while the Flesh and Fire series provides a perfect blend of romance and high-stakes fantasy. For readers interested in mystical elements and captivating lore, The Empyrean Series and the Powerless Series are significant explorations of complex themes within fantastical settings. Don’t overlook the breathtaking Spark of the Everflame and Quicksilver; these series bring a fresh take on classic fantasy elements. Lastly, The Veiled Heir adds another layer of depth, weaving together intricate plots and compelling characters that keep readers hooked. Each of these series not only offers an escape but also reinforces the idea that fantasy literature is continually evolving and expanding horizons for avid readers. Whether you’re an experienced fantasy reader or just starting out, these recommendations promise excitement and adventure!
