I meant it as in the way I read Fantasy books, because it were the best ones I ever read. There's a pretty fun Interview with Patrick Rothfuss which assumes why these books are like so much when they are, because he didnt write a lot of scenes that we simply imagined as if they were there. I mean its obvious that this happens with a lot of books, but never in that way to me like it did with those.
My top five: 1) Percy Jackson 2)Gregor the Overlander 3) A Song of Ice and Fire 4) The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel 5) Maximum Ride Not one was mentioned (Salty).
JUST finished The Crimson Crown a couple days ago and OH MY GOSH it was amazing. Definitely one of my favorite series! Throne of Glass is of course also on my favorites list, and the rest are all on my TBR list!
Maybe it's weird to think this, but I quite like the old covers! The one with the girl in a dark cloak looking feircely at something to the right of the cover while holding a thin sharp dagger, and thin lightning like designs in the background. There is a background of the city in a pinkish haze.
when it comes to covers, i always prefer something that is drawn out, that's why i love the hardcover art so much, not really a big fan of the illustrations of the originals, and the uk version i actually only like the first book cover, the 2nd and 3rd one have a real life face on them which i dislike, i hate covers that have pictures of real life people, can't do it. idk lol that's just me
So fricking keen for Queen of Shadows! SO KEEN. And A Court of Thorn and Roses! Sarah J Maas just generally is a queen. Don't even argue with me on this. She is queen.
This “fetching lobon only” (Google it) is a perfect spot to discover new books. It has a user-friendly interface and there are no blunders and glitches in any way. Its a significant source for anyone who enjoy reading. Possess a really vast choice as well. Can always find something to read.
You have an amazing ability to explain books in a way that doesn't spoil them but gives me enough info to know if I want to give it a read! Thank you so much, I have found so many "best of life" books because of you!
I was expecting Game Of Thrones, but then I remembered you still need to get back into Storm Of Swords. I agree with a lot of your choices! Love your channel!
The Codex Alera is probably my favorite book series ever! I LOVE the magic system, the characters are so amazing and well-penned, Ravi’s growth through the series is fantastic. Ugh, LOVE IT!
I did not read much fantasy last year at all, which is something that I WILL BE WORKING ON this year because it is my favorite genre, so your video gave me some ideas of what I want to read next. Great video as always!!!
I literally had to pause for a second when I saw this video in my subscription feed because I am so damn excited!! Fantasy is my favorite genre and you have given me countless recommendations that have changed the way I look at the genre!!! THANK YOU!!!
You've talked up the Mistborn trilogy SO MUCH that I had to set aside all of my other high fantasy series and read it immediately. You were not wrong. Now I own a dozen Brandon Sanderson books haha. Thanks for all the recommendations!
I'm so happy you included Graceling! I feel like it's so often overlooked on Booktube, but it's been my favorite fantasy novel for years. Katsa and Bitterblue are such strong, complex female characters and they deserve all the recognition in the world
I truly love reading. However, sometimes I find myself procrastinating on things I really like. So instead of reading in my free time I almost waste my time watching OTHER people talk about BOOKs I want to read. I could just read the books myself I would like it better that way anyway but I just stay on TH-cam and tumblr.... Do you have any advice for me? I really want to change my behaviour :)
crazytoenail Start off by reading smaller, easier books that don't take too much dedication but are engrossing. Then work your way up. I entered a slump for quite a while where I wasn't reading much, but then I decided to pick up a relatively short, not too difficult novel and it really helped me get back into the zone.
I have so many of these series sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read because of you! I'm excited to read all of these and pick up the (only two) that I don't have yet!
I'm a newcomer to book channels, but yours is far and away my favorite that I've come across so far! I've shelved a lot of books on Goodreads thanks to your recommendation. Thank you so much for these videos!
My favorite series are Malazan Book of the Fallen, Broken Empire, Night Angel, Kingkiller Chronicles, The First Law, Stormlight Archive, A Song of Ice and Fire, Worldbreaker Saga,Prince of Nothing, and Tolkien of course. If anyone is reading this try those, they aren't YA though.
Pokemon is actually totally right for describing Codex Alera! Codex Alera actually manifested from a bet that someone from a writing workshop posed to Butcher. He said that Butcher couldn't write a story based off of a lame idea so Butcher was like "oh yeah? bring it bro" and the dude said "pokemon" meets "lost roman legion" and then Codex Alera was born.
I have read more adult paranormal romance but you booktubers have really got me interested in YA. I have my list ready. Thanks for the recommendations and great descriptions.
I have actually just read the Throne of Glass and am currently reading Crown of Midnight. I adore both books and have been on the edge of my seat many times while reading them. Can't wait to finish Crown of Midnight and move onto Heir of Fire!
Oh my gosh I just finished reading the Mistborn trilogy, which I picked up because I saw one of your other videos where you talked about how much you loved it, and it is now one of my favorites too! I cannot wait to read more of his books!
I've added a couple books to my tbr pile, can never read too many fantasy books! I loved The Daughter of Smoke & Bone, my only pet peeve during the book is how secretive everything was!! My goodness, just when they're about to explain something, it takes another 100 pages to actually tell you agh! haha Still loved it, completely agree about how beautiful her writing is. Am reading the 2nd in the series now. :)
Graceling has been on my TBR forever. I absolutely loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Throne of Glass. Completely agree that it's better to go into DoSaB without knowing too much.
Great video. No wasted time. Straight to the point. I'm here because I'm considering either Mistborn or the King Killer chronicles. I read one of the Malazan series but had no idea what was going on for the most part. Thanks for the suggestions!
The Final Empire is pretty cool. Haven't gotten around to finishing the trilogy, but the first book is awesome! Brandon Sanderson does write very well.
Haven't finished with the first Mistborn book yet, but so far, the book is so awesome! I so love the interesting way in which they use their abilities. Never would have thought of a magic system like that. It's so refreshing and different from the typical magic abilities.
Finnikin of the Rock sounds awesome! I've never heard of it, so I'm absolutely going to have to check it out. Same with Pathfinder, the concept of that sounds so original!
+Dr Milkman I guess I'm not a hipster, but I love to read, so if you have any recommendations let me know. I also enjoyed The Wheel of time, Robert Jordan and anything by Brandon Sanderson or Neil Gaiman.
Thanks to coming across this video randomly, I decided to pick the Codex Alera back up. I had read the first book and thought it was okay, read through the second, and stopped midway through the third book and never picked it back up. Rereading Furies of Calderon, I really, really regret that I wasn't more into the books more when I started reading them the first time. I'm really wanting to finish it now. Thanks for bringing that series back into my head. Then again, I am a fan of the Dresden Files, so it's not like I forgot about Codex Alera, I just need someone praising them to the degree you did for me to reconsider them.
Throne of Glass was really difficult to get into. I remember reading the dialogue between Dorian and his father at the beginning of the book and cringing at how bad it was. To be honest, I only finished it so I could read the rest since everyone was saying that it gets better, and thank god I did! Sooooo much better! Crown of Midnight is amazing, very entertaining and Celaena and Kaol were great together, I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
We also love Melina Marchetta! If you haven't read her other books, we highly recommend 'Looking for Alibrandi' and 'Saving Francesca'. They're contemporary YA and super addictive reads :)
I love this video and mad props for The Seven Realms mention!! I'm currently on the final books of that series and I don't want it to end!! Great work!! :)
My favourite fantasy series is The Old Kindom series. The books are just sooo amazing! I really recommend that you check them out. I am also currently reading another amazing series called Shadows of the Apt. I'm only on book 3 of 10, but so far I'm really loving it and the concept is just so unique. I think I also have to give a mention to The Inheritence Cycle (the Eragon books). The books did have some small problems, but overall they were very good aswell!
Fantasy is my favorite genre but I'm ashamed to say that I've only read 2 series on your list! (Throne of Glass and Daughter of Smoker and Bone.) Most of the others are on my TBR so this is just what I needed to inspire me to get to them!
Such a great list! I hope you'll read the Stormlight Archive books by Sanderson since it's so great itmakes even his other books appear"average"! I'd also recommend the Kingkiller's Chronicles series by Patrick Rothfuss! It is truly exceptional.
I just subscribed when you mentioned Falling Kingdoms. That series is my latest obsession! You seem to have good taste and that is why I will check out these books.
Thanks for making this! I thought I read a lot of fantasy, but I haven't read any of these (except the first Mistborn book) so I think I'm going to have to go out and get some!
A fantasy author I can highly (to the heavens) is Robin Hobb. Her characters are just amazing, I could not believe how attached I got to them. She has multiple series, most of which are part of an overall series (not always the same characters) so I'd start with the first one, The Farseer Trilogy. You probably still have millions of things people have told you should read but I cannot recommend these enough. They are just so freaking good, and character driven, and I think you'd really enjoy them.
I absolutely picked up the majority of these that I have read already because I have heard you talk about them before. Now I'm going to have to get the rest. You're killing my bank account.
Thank you for this video! Fantasy is my favorite genre and I just want to read more (though there are some on this list I have read.) Just ordered the beautiful UK mistborn editions on Saturday. Hopefully it'll get here soon! The Demon King Series and Finnikin of The Rock both look so good. Still need to read the rest of both Throne of Glass and Daughter of Smoke and Bone but loved them both so I'm excited.
Oh the blood of the Hanalea, thank you so much for recommending The Demon King, it is such an awesome book. I have never finished a big book before in my life, flew through this book like no buddy's business. I love game of thrones, but so scared to start reading because it's so big and everything. But I think I can read it now. Thanks so much again. I have already started the second book, don't want it to end, so happy there are 2 more books to read. Once I finish I will going through your other recommendations. Thanks very much. You are awesome!
I bought the Seven Realms box set a while ago but haven't quite gotten to it. But seeing you talk about it now makes me wanna pick it up soon! And also everything else on your list that o haven't read yet :)
I really, really enjoyed this video! Pretty much all of these books are on my must read asap list but I loved your descriptions and reasons for loving them. Made me really excited to pick them up!
Oh my gosh I read Finnikin of the Rock as a teen and had no idea it was a trilogy! I saw the plot twist coming a mile away and it put me off looking the book up after I finished it, but maybe I'll give it another shot since there's more.
no Bone Season?! i guess we need more books to be released before it can fit into the favorites category. but Mistborn & Finnikin, yessss. such good picks.
You've introduced me to fantasy (other than Harry Potter) and now I have 45 books on my TBR...stop recommending amazing books! Graceling was so good. Everything I've read on your recommendation has been incredible. =)
i just finished hero of ages this weekend... haahaha... haha... ha... #dead also i'm so happy to see daughter of smoke and bone on the list! that trilogy is so gorgeous and detailed, i looove it.
So my TBR pile just grew right now lol. I actually have the box set of the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima - I just need to get around to reading it already.
The Demon King is my favorite book series! I loved Throne of Glass too, and several of the others that you mentioned have been on my TBR for awhile. I really want to read Mistborn, especially. Thank you for making this video!
if i had to chose only one booketuber to watch for the rest of my life- it would for sure be you! great taste in books, great video quality, funny, honest and beautiful regan! x
The Throne of Glass series is also my favourite series! I have a shelf with all of the Sarah J Maas books she's ever written and I call it my most awesome shelf. Have you tried the Court of Thorns and Roses series, also by Sarah J Maas? The third book comes out May 2nd and I can't wait!!! I will definitely be checking out the other books on your list, with priority for Graceling, that really captured my interest! Great video!!
I love your videos! They are so entertaining to watch and I'm learning about so many other fantasy series out there! I'm going to check out Cinda Williams Chima now
Alright, you convinced me to buy the Finding Kingdoms series. I saw a good deal the other day and I was very tempted to buy them but I waited. And now I'm just gonna go back and get them and cross my fingers the deal is still valid.
I'm glad she didn't mention wheel of Time, asoif, Tolkien , because I love me some Robert Jordan and GRRM, but EVERYONE!!! Loves them and I like to hear about new stuff to read. Y'all need to read Daughter of the Empire series. It's a spin off written with Janny Wurts and Raymond Fiest

The books you mentioned that I've read, I loved. So clearly I need to immediately read all the others okay thank you.
Seconded!
Third! ;)
I love your vids Kat! Your makeup is always perfect btw ;)
;D
Same! Definitely added books to my TBR
Guys..The Name of the Wind/The Kingkiller Chronicles. These books were lifechanging for me, I'm a little sad they arent in there.
I love them too, but how did they change your life?
I meant it as in the way I read Fantasy books, because it were the best ones I ever read. There's a pretty fun Interview with Patrick Rothfuss which assumes why these books are like so much when they are, because he didnt write a lot of scenes that we simply imagined as if they were there.

I hope my explanation isnt total blabbering, english is not my first language, sorry :D
+Fayeluria I kind of understand :) to me they are the best fantasy books along with the Game of Thrones books and The Demon King books
I dont know The Demon King, i might have to check that out, thanks (:
throne of glass is amazing
I just got this video recommended for no reason but I love having a Reagan throwback nonetheless :)
My top five:
1) Percy Jackson
2)Gregor the Overlander
3) A Song of Ice and Fire
4) The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
5) Maximum Ride
Not one was mentioned (Salty).
Percy Jackson💕💕😍😍😍
Daw Percy Percy Percy! I S͟͟A͟͟W͟͟ the Heroes of Olympus
Gregor and overlander is friggin awesome
JUST finished The Crimson Crown a couple days ago and OH MY GOSH it was amazing. Definitely one of my favorite series!
Throne of Glass is of course also on my favorites list, and the rest are all on my TBR list!
priceiswong Woo! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
priceiswong YES! I love the series so much I'm currently in the middle of rereading it
Just ordered the beautiful covers for Mistborn! So excited!
YAYUS
You're so lucky you got the prettty UK covers!
the uk covers for the paperbacks look great but the north american hardcovers look amazing, the artwork is too good
Maybe it's weird to think this, but I quite like the old covers! The one with the girl in a dark cloak looking feircely at something to the right of the cover while holding a thin sharp dagger, and thin lightning like designs in the background. There is a background of the city in a pinkish haze.

Regan, please do a updated favorite fantasy books!! I love your fantasy book recommendations
I just finished Gathering Darkness and I'm completely in love!
You have an amazing ability to explain books in a way that doesn't spoil them but gives me enough info to know if I want to give it a read! Thank you so much, I have found so many "best of life" books because of you!

First Law?
A Song of Ice and Fire?
Wheel of Time?
Kingkiller Chronicles?
You left out the best series out there.
i know right
+Alex Cross The malazan book of the fallen.
kyle f Hey, I left out a lot of great series. These just popped in my head first.
+Alex Cross Kingkiller Chronicles is my fav
She hadn't read most of those when she made the video.

Many thanks for posting this list, in particular. Just picked up Mistborn and already I can tell it's a rewarding read!!
I'm so happy you included Graceling! I feel like it's so often overlooked on Booktube, but it's been my favorite fantasy novel for years. Katsa and Bitterblue are such strong, complex female characters and they deserve all the recognition in the world

Salty Buns thank you 😊😁
Ehm, turn off your internet?
I have so many of these series sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read because of you! I'm excited to read all of these and pick up the (only two) that I don't have yet!

Mistborn absolutely incredible. Read the series 5 times. Love the all twists in the final book.
Thank you for your recommendations, they never go wrong, especially for fantasy. You're the go-to booktuber for that genre tbh
I have actually just read the Throne of Glass and am currently reading Crown of Midnight. I adore both books and have been on the edge of my seat many times while reading them. Can't wait to finish Crown of Midnight and move onto Heir of Fire!
I pretty much always go to you when I'm in the mood for a fantasy read! Love all these though :)
I thought The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings would have been at least an honorable mention.
Agreed
I think she hasn’t read LOTR but maybe the hobbit
Mitchel Anhalt definitely
So happy the Seven Realms has a sequal series to come out in 2016
Oh my gosh I just finished reading the Mistborn trilogy, which I picked up because I saw one of your other videos where you talked about how much you loved it, and it is now one of my favorites too! I cannot wait to read more of his books!
Mistborn yassssss! Did anyone read wheel of time? Coz that's how I found Brandon Sanderson frankly saying
Thats how I found out about Brandon Sanderson. I was reading the wheel of time last year.
Rainy Liu Mistborn is how I found out Wheel of Time :D
Rainy Liu I want to read TWoT, but I'm already reading ASOIaF and both series are sooo long.
I feel like people don't talk about graveling enough... I also read it when I was in middle school and I LOVED it.
I've added a couple books to my tbr pile, can never read too many fantasy books! I loved The Daughter of Smoke & Bone, my only pet peeve during the book is how secretive everything was!! My goodness, just when they're about to explain something, it takes another 100 pages to actually tell you agh! haha Still loved it, completely agree about how beautiful her writing is. Am reading the 2nd in the series now. :)
I saw the title of this video and immediately went to grab a pen and paper. lol I always end up loving the books you recommend. Thanks for the video.
Great video, thanks for sharing your fave fantasy books! I'd really like to see a recommendations or favourites video for historical fiction, too.
Graceling has been on my TBR forever. I absolutely loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Throne of Glass. Completely agree that it's better to go into DoSaB without knowing too much.
Great video. No wasted time. Straight to the point. I'm here because I'm considering either Mistborn or the King Killer chronicles. I read one of the Malazan series but had no idea what was going on for the most part. Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks to this video, I discovered Throne of Glass AND I AM FOREVER THANKFUL
Added a ton to my TBR! I'm finding I love fantasy. It's a new discovery and I'm embracing it.
No 'His Dark Materials'?!!!
Ikr it's the best
The Final Empire is pretty cool. Haven't gotten around to finishing the trilogy, but the first book is awesome! Brandon Sanderson does write very well.
Haven't finished with the first Mistborn book yet, but so far, the book is so awesome! I so love the interesting way in which they use their abilities. Never would have thought of a magic system like that. It's so refreshing and different from the typical magic abilities.
I'm reading it too, and also loving the magic system. (Also, I really like the purplish cover with Vin in the cloak with the dagger, too). ^_^
Books Beauty Ameriie I know, thanks! About the cover, I guess it's just personal taste! I do like the non-white one better though.
Mistborn and Throne of Glass both deserve all the hype they get! They're exactly what I want out of a fantasy book :)
A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin ?
Finnikin of the Rock sounds awesome! I've never heard of it, so I'm absolutely going to have to check it out. Same with Pathfinder, the concept of that sounds so original!
These are all on my tbr already, from hearing about them in your past videos, but now I need to start reading them all more than ever!!
Why do I keep watching these kinds of videos? I have enough books on my list to read already...I don't need more (is that going to stop me???...No)
Reagan omg i've commented this before but i distinctly remember you having a song of ice and fire and i highly highly highly recommend it
So I just spent the last three weeks reading kingkiller after your suggestion... Amazing. Probably the best books I've read. Thank you!
No one really reads this but "the singer of all songs" trilogy is so under appreciated I think it's rather old but so so good,
A Song of Ice and Fire
Harry Potter series
Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices
Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
!!!
Basically the most popular fantasy books ever -_-
+Dr Milkman I guess I'm not a hipster, but I love to read, so if you have any recommendations let me know. I also enjoyed The Wheel of time, Robert Jordan and anything by Brandon Sanderson or Neil Gaiman.
Popular does not equal bad!
+Amiee Ann read the seven realms series!

I ordered Pathfinders solely on your recommendation I'm glad to see it on your list.
Making me feel excited about Mistborn. Need to read Sanderson!
You always make me want to read all of the books.
I love your videos! So hard to find book lovers at my college so, I like to watch your videos and fangirl over books so I don't feel so alone! lol :)
We also love Melina Marchetta! If you haven't read her other books, we highly recommend 'Looking for Alibrandi' and 'Saving Francesca'. They're contemporary YA and super addictive reads :)
Yesss Falling Kingdoms! People don't talk about those books enough! I loved all three of them!
I love this video and mad props for The Seven Realms mention!! I'm currently on the final books of that series and I don't want it to end!! Great work!! :)
My favourite fantasy series is The Old Kindom series. The books are just sooo amazing! I really recommend that you check them out.

Have you considered reading Name of the Wind, Its so amazing it feels like a thousand stories all consisting to make one beautiful story.
The Lumatere Chronicles trilogy sounds good. Thanks for showing the first book Finnick of the Rock.
Such a great list! I hope you'll read the Stormlight Archive books by Sanderson since it's so great itmakes even his other books appear"average"! I'd also recommend the Kingkiller's Chronicles series by Patrick Rothfuss! It is truly exceptional.
Agreed. They are AMAAAAZIIIING.
I love finding new books to read! Thanks Regan, I need to pick up the ones I haven't read soon :)

Oh the blood of the Hanalea, thank you so much for recommending The Demon King, it is such an awesome book. I have never finished a big book before in my life, flew through this book like no buddy's business. I love game of thrones, but so scared to start reading because it's so big and everything.

Oh my gosh I read Finnikin of the Rock as a teen and had no idea it was a trilogy! I saw the plot twist coming a mile away and it put me off looking the book up after I finished it, but maybe I'll give it another shot since there's more.
no Bone Season?! i guess we need more books to be released before it can fit into the favorites category. but Mistborn & Finnikin, yessss. such good picks.
WellDoneBooks I have only read the first book! maybe in my next one ;D
The Bone Season Series is SO gooooooood!! I realle can't wait to read the next one!! Is it 2016 yet?
You've introduced me to fantasy (other than Harry Potter) and now I have 45 books on my TBR...stop recommending amazing books! Graceling was so good. Everything I've read on your recommendation has been incredible. =)

also i'm so happy to see daughter of smoke and bone on the list! that trilogy is so gorgeous and detailed, i looove it.
Brandon Sanderson's book's are awesome, I've read most of his books and i cant get enough!!!!
I don't know why the final empire is an adult book series I read them at age 12 and absolutely LOVED them.

The Seven Realms, The Inheritance Cycle, and The Mortal Instruments are my #1 series I fell deeply in love with lol

Yasss, Finally!!! Someone who love the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy!! Thank you! It is amazing!
Fantasy is my favourite genre, I haven't heard of some of these but I want to read them all now!
So my TBR pile just grew right now lol. I actually have the box set of the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima - I just need to get around to reading it already.
The Demon King is my favorite book series! I loved Throne of Glass too, and several of the others that you mentioned have been on my TBR for awhile. I really want to read Mistborn, especially. Thank you for making this video!

YES! Graceling has been mentionned!
Thank you for some new wonderful tips on fantasy books!
The Throne of Glass series is also my favourite series! I have a shelf with all of the Sarah J Maas books she's ever written and I call it my most awesome shelf. Have you tried the Court of Thorns and Roses series, also by Sarah J Maas? The third book comes out May 2nd and I can't wait!!! I will definitely be checking out the other books on your list, with priority for Graceling, that really captured my interest! Great video!!
BTW codex alera is set is Carna, Alera is just the antion in which most of the plot takes place.
I love your videos! They are so entertaining to watch and I'm learning about so many other fantasy series out there! I'm going to check out Cinda Williams Chima now
Alright, you convinced me to buy the Finding Kingdoms series. I saw a good deal the other day and I was very tempted to buy them but I waited. And now I'm just gonna go back and get them and cross my fingers the deal is still valid.
I'm glad she didn't mention wheel of Time, asoif, Tolkien , because I love me some Robert Jordan and GRRM, but EVERYONE!!! Loves them and I like to hear about new stuff to read. Y'all need to read Daughter of the Empire series. It's a spin off written with Janny Wurts and Raymond Fiest
