- Ranking all the fantasy series I own and have read so far. I love high fantasy, and medieval fantasy in particular! I cannot wait to read more from my favorite authors. Is there anything you're shocked isn't on my shelves, that I haven't read? Do you agree or disagree with my rankings?!

The ease of which Maddie raised all those ToG books at once may have been the greatest feat of strength in the history of Booktube.
All the work in the gym paying off!!
Love this!!!! Now I’m ready for y’all’s Sci-Fi take! 💕💕
Ok! We've got you covered!
I’m also getting ideas on how to rearrange my shelves thanks haha
Happy to help!! lmao
Loved seeing it all laid out like this!
The four shelves gave it four nice tiers!
guys I liiiive for your content yessss!!! one small thing that I’d like to note is that because when I watch videos, I don’t always actively look at the video and instead I listen while doing other things, I had to rewind a few times to catch which series Maddie was talking about, because they were referred to as “this” or “that”! totally up to you though, just thought I’d share ❤ love your videos!!!
Oh ok! Noted. We can definitely try to say the names of things in case people are listening more than watching.
@@Krisandmads 💗💗💗
instant subscribe when i saw Jade City high on your list 🥹 i wanna do this video on my channel now 🤩
The Green Bone Saga is so elite!
Idk how I just found out this past week that you guys were on you tube … so now I’m watching all the videos .. 😂 definitely saving this one to reference when prioritizing my TBR!!
Yay! Yes! We love it over here. A little home for our longer videos and rambles.
It’s so fascinating watching you talk about why you make the ranking choices! I loved how specific you were about what you like or what worked better in certain series versus others. Do you have any favorite stand alone fantasy novels?
Thank you! The Sword of Kaigen and Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang are AMAZING! I also love The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. I enjoyed Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon quite a bit. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab is phenomenal. I also love anything by Olivie Blake.
Ok this was fun and enlightening! I mean, now I’ve got to raise a few on my TBR due to the ratings 👀
Oh yay! I was hoping it would be helpful.
Name of the Wind is my favorite book of all time. It made me start a TH-cam channel. I gift a copy of it to so many friends during the holidays.
This is so lovely!! I’m very excited to return to the series and read Wise Man’s Fear!
Yessss!!! Green one Saga is my favorite! So glad to see it highly ranked
It is so elite! Love it so much!
Loved this! Awesome to see Papa Gwynne so high up the shelf!!!
Of course he is! His books make us nostalgic for the classic fantasy of our childhoods!
I lovvvved this!!! My ‘go to’ from now on when I don’t know what to read next 😊
Yay! Thanks so much for watching. Always happy to help build a TBR list.
Great video I’m so glad you guys are on TH-cam!
Thank you! We're so happy to be here!
I feel so seen and validated with the VE Schwab last place. Thank you!
It's so beloved, but maybe just wasn't for me at the time I read it.
Love it! I also would love Kristens ranking of her books. Bc I am more a Kristens Fantasy girly!
Oh we definitely need to do this then!!!
Holy Hannah…what a top ten. I’ve heard so many good things about a throne of glass.
It’s awesome The bound and the broken is so high!
I need to get N.K Jemison’s books done too 😖 so many TBR books on this list for me
Those Harry potter editions are so nice too.
Throne of Glass was our first big series of adult reading, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. N.K.Jemison is such an impressive writer. And thanks! Got those covers from Nerdy Ink!
Maddie you're great!! Such a good ranking and the number one spot is 💯 correct nothing can beat LOTR trilogy! I agree with the bright Acotar covers why did they do that although they have some new black editions coming out, but I'm not spending more money that's unnecessary. Also I agree with the Crescent City series too bottom tier I had to slog through those first too books it wasn't worth it haha 😅 still good but not enough good for me. Haha I plan to read my first Robin Robb this year as well. 😊
So excited for your Robin Hobb journey!
@@Krisandmads Yay thank you!! I'm hoping for it to be as epic as Lord Of The Rings for me! 🤞
I borrowed the live ship traders last year from the library but didn't get to it before i had to return it. I think this is my sign to get it again.
It is blowing my mind!!!
Ooof that would be tough! I completely agree...I despise those ACOTAR covers too...what were they thinking!?
I NEED to get the hardcovers and just take the jackets off so I can have nice clean black!
@@Krisandmads I’m very glad I have the originals! 📚😎
Oh! Well now that I see this order (solid ranking btw!), I’m definitely trying Malice because I was just a little lukewarm on The Shadow of the God 🧐🧐🧐
The Faithful and the Fallen is sooooooo good omg
Love this video idea and I love the rankings
Would love to see your shelf ranked!
Also, am so thankful for this video!!!
So glad it was helpful!
Awesome video!! What Harry Potter editions are those?! Love them !
These are special edition jackets from The Nerdy Ink!
You should do a reading order for Robin Hobb!!!! And maybe John Gwynne!!
This is a great idea!!!
Starting lord of the rings in the month of september 🥰 loved this video 😍
Oh!! Is this your first time reading or is it a reread?! September is the PERFECT time to start because that’s when the adventure starts in the book!!
First time!! 😄 and omg I didn't know !
Love it! Sci-Fi ratings next? ❤
We can make this happen!
I don't know if you mentioned it already and I missed it, but where did you get those Harry Potter dust jackets? They're beautiful!
They’re from Nerdy Ink!
I visited the shire in New Zealand a few years ago....if you haven't been-Do it!
This is a bucket list dream!
Might have missed this in the Kris and Maddie lore since I started following you guys, but where is Game of Thrones? I haven't read it myself (and don't plan to until I am sure GRRM will finish it) but I figured it would be on this list.
Good question! We’re in the same boat. We’ve both watched the show but refused to read until he finished…but I have some friends who are convincing me to read them anyway. I have some other things on my priority list first, but I may take the plunge in 2025. We’ll see.
So we need to read Mistborn trilogy before Stormlight? Or can we jump right in?
Maddie read Stormlight first. Kristen is starting with Mistborn. There is no right way. But if you plant to read both, we recommend starting with Mistborn, so you can end with his best work! Stormlight is definitely his magnum opus!
Acceptable Hobb/Abercrombie respect
I'm listening to The Two Towers right now!
Love this so much! It's probably my favorite in the trilogy!
Those LOTR covers are a need.
Aren't they sooo gorgeous!?
Ok but lord of the rings vs red rising? How would that stack?
Lord of the Rings is classic and untouchable. Also an amazing reread with our favorite characters of all time. Red Rising is the best thing we've discovered and read as adults, especially in sci-fi, but if we had to choose in a knock-down-drag-out competition, Lord of the Rigns is going to win every time. There are no stories for us without LotR. It's the GOAT.
I’ve read 2 of these series 😢
Plenty for the TBR!
What is your favorite out of the Lord of the Rings? Two Towers is my favorite out of the books and movies
Same! Two Towers is so elite! I love Rohan, and I love Shelob's Lair in the book!
Ok but I feel like Kristen would really enjoy Crowns of Nyaxia cause she loves her some romanceee
YES! We both love crowns of nyaxia!
Where would the Empyrean series rank?
Hmmm....probably lower down, below ACOTAR. It's a good time, but it can't compete with many of my favorites.
I want a ToG tattoo 🖤
We love ours!
I feel so seen that I’m also very MEH/Boo for CC. 😂
It just really wasn't for us.
This had to be tough haha
Couldn't you tell I was sweating bullets the entire time? lol
That was stressful!!
I'm so sorry about Daevabad
LOTR IS CANNONNNNN N
Absolutely indisputably the GOAT
