    i would definitely recommend the raven cycle for anyone looking to start fantasy from an easy start since it’s urban fantasy. think welsh mythology, psychics, magical woods, and some amazing characters!

    As much as I love Scythe, I wouldn't recommend it as an intro to fantasy, because it isn't fantasy. Scythe is actually sci-fi, and it is a great intro to sci-fi. It just isnt fantasy

      @@Isabella-de7kv simply put, sci-fi deals with technology/technological advances, dystopias, space/space travel and the like. Whereas fantasy deals with magic, magical/mythical creatures, the supernatural, worlds other than our own (not including planets in space)

    I agree with you about Throne of Glass. And even if I didnt it doesnt matter, each to her own. This book and author really grew on me. After watching so many booktubers diss and hate on SJM I really went into thinking im gna hate it but I wanted to form my own opinion. I stuck with Assassins Blade and ToG, and now in the third book...I like it. I really do. Calaena and Chaol after my favorite characters amongst all the fantasy books im reading rn. I have added the series to my September TBR and now my October TBR. I can see myself finishing the series and moving on to Thorn of....whatever those books are called. WHY DO I LIKE IT??? Well... You know there's alot of fantasy out there. YA and Adult. And tbh with whats going on in the world, you really just gotta pick with YOU ENJOY. Fudge the naysayers. Time is short ya'll. Do what you enjoy. DO YOU. And if SJM is your thing. Each to your own

    I'm sad that you recommended not to carry on after Graceling - even if Fire isn't for you I really recommend Bitterblue and Winterkeep where familiar characters are re-introduced! Plus Fire has some Easter egg moments as it's set in the same world just a different magical location.

    For Urban Fantasy, I recommend the Daniel Faust series and Harmony Black series from Craig Schaefer. The Harmony Black series is an off shoot from the Faust series, but you can start with it if you wanted to start a shorter series. I started with the Harmony Black series and then went back to read the Faust series and loved getting to know some of the characters better. It didn't hinder my enjoyment of either series. You can't go wrong.

    I recommend "The Court of Miracles" by Kester Grant, I absolutely loved the story! I just couldn't put it down! It is a stand alone sadly but there are 3 love interests in total...An Assassin, The Prince, and A Survivor. The main character is a thief named Nina who is trying to save her sister from a guy called the Tiger. There are guilds of criminals and there are 8-10 guilds, whoever is apart of a guild are protected by that particular guild and are considered family and have to leave their blood family behind but, Nina does not leave her sister. Idk if I explained this well but in the end she does save her sister and I highly recommend this book

    Amri and the night brothers is a good book the 2 one is coming out in Jan of 2022
    It’s about a girl who’s brother gose missing and she finds out about a magical world and her goal is to find him
    It is a chosen one book so if you don’t like that trope I don’t recommend this book that much
    Spoilers
    It’s one of those books where she is trying to get a place in a thing and your like she s going to get it and sometimes it’s annoying
    I know that wasn’t super spoilery but it kinda is if you read the book
    (I’m not making sense )
    (I promise I’m better at talking kinda lol)
