I absolutely love your enthusiasm, Isa! That is why I signed up to the Patreon group. I wish I had done this earlier, then I could have started the Wheel of Time series with you all. I’ve only read book one so far. Thank you so much for your encouragement and sharing your insights. I feel like I am learning all the time - and it’s fun!
Your dog is so calm! Love the way they just sit there listening...So cute. Had a lot of fun watching this video and happy to see a couple of the less lauded authors alongside the usual mammoths.
I just came back from holiday and I absolutely loved this video to kickstart life again! There are so many things that went through my head, but I honestly love your enthusiasm and the fun part in Fun Fantasy Books! I love that we are just a great community having the best time ever!
I just finished book 3 of the bound and the broken tonight. I am so excited for u to continue the series and see where it goes. Reading the novellas is essential!! You are in for an amazing journey/story.
Love your channel. One thing about the presentation, though: i love the surprise that comes from top ten lists. Having all of the books spines visible during the video kind of spoils the surprise of the list. Love the video and you still though!
Thank you for suggesting The Will of the Many! After being depressed by modern fantasy for a while, this reignited my passion! I find it hard to tolerate Brandon Sanderson, but I'm excited to look into some of the other books on your list that I haven't read.
Storm light archives, Spinning silver, the poppy war, Ninth rain and wheels of time are my favourites. Stormlight archives is my favourite series of all time. I love Red rising saga too.
Can't wait to get around and actually read The Sword of Kaigen. So many good books in this list. The Dandelion Dynasty was my book series of the year, loved every minute reading those books.
Im in the airport so have not finished watching this yet but have yiu read The bound and the broken?? Im up to book 2 and ive also read the fall. Book 1 was 4 star but the others are beyond a 5 star. Ive seen a few mention them on youtube. Ryan cahills series
Imo the audio book of the Farseer trilogy really brings all of those characters to life. I have a hard time just reading that trilogy because of how good the audio book is to me.
I read Nettle and Bone after your recommendation and I LOVED IT! Gave it 5 stars. Also Will of the Many was phenomenal!! I was thinking about it for weeks
1.the poppy war 2. jade city 3.dungeon crawler Carl 4. Legends and lattes 5. Ship of magic 6. Malice 7. Of blood and fire 8. The ninth rain 9. Piranesi 10. Wheel of time 11. Spinning silver 12. Nettle bone 13. Brandon Sanderson 14. The grace of kings 15. A game of thrones 16. The will of the many 17. The sword of kaigen
Thanks for keeping the pile in clear view throughout the video. 🤣 Anyway, if 1990 is a soft cut-off point, "Tigana" belongs on the list. Sanderson is the autotune of fantasy.
Just read Blood Over Brighthaven (might be in my top 5 this year) so I'm gonna have to give Sword of Kaigen a go. Met author of Malice the other week, great bloke. Carl's Doomsday Scenario is just as good as Dungeon Crawler Carl (GODDAMNIT DONUT!!!)
@FunFantasyBooks A really nice, friendly bloke. There was a bit of Q&A and then some book signing. RJ Barker (Gods of Wyrdwood) was there too, funny guy. First event like that I've been to, definitely looking out for other favourite authors doing the same in future.
I just read a new cozy fantasy book which published 2 days ago and totally love it. "The Teller of Small Fortunes" By Julie Leong really melt my heart and gave me good feeling after reading it. If you love "Legends and Lattes" by Travis Baldree, you will love this new book. Can't wait to watch your review on this book❤
I'm at the 2nd minute and the anxiety of that huge leaning pile of books falling on you is too much... I can't even concentrate on anything else other than that terrifying leaning stack...
Es realmente dificil encontrar a alguien que hable en Español en BookTube, la verdad es que mi ingles esta perfecto y consumo todo booktube en ingles, pero seria hermoso poder generar contenido para la comunidad hispanohablante. Todavía no vi el video, por ende ahí voy. Saludos desde Argentina !
Ahora que terminé el video, puedo decir que la mayoría de las sagas de las que hablas y de las que se habla en booktube no tienen traducciones al español, o por ejemplo con Las Mentiras de Locke Lamora, solo se tradujeron los primeros dos... Es una pena, hay varias series que me gustaria leer y no lo hice por no tener traducciones oficiales.
Hey!!! Ya, es una pena totalmente- esa fue la razón principal por la que hice el canal en inglés (además de porque leo en inglés). La mayor parte de los libros de fantasía que leo y quiero recomendar no están traducidos todavía 😭
@@FunFantasyBooks Gracias por contestar, ahora que se que hablas español voy a darle más amor a tu canal. Yo podría leer en ingles honestamente, solo tengo que animarme y hacerlo... Exitos con todos tus proyectos
Most of my favorites are in honorable mentions like jade city, poppy war, malice, etc I would never put will of the many so high up. First cos the whole series isn't out yet (unlike most books in honorable mentions), second cos it's mediocre. I would also not put song of ice and fire so high up cos it's never going to get completed. Sword of kaigen and piranesi are great but they are not series. They belong in the honorable mention category for me.
My brother is not a reader but he said only yesterday game of thrones was good until that last season. So they really butchered those last 2 tv seasons
Instead of ‘top 10’ with about seven ‘honourable mentions’, try ‘top 15’ or ‘top 20’. If indiscipline is your problem to narrow your down your choices, either broaden the parameters or abandon ‘top…’ videos.
Totally agree but UA-cam is dumb and pushed “top 10” way more than any other top # video. Super dumb and makes for titles that don’t fit videos the best but you gotta play the game

Hahaha once she realized her life was not forfeit she was chill! So happy you enjoyed this!
Your puppy is so cute and he obviously adores you! I love your suggestions and your enthusiasm when you talk about books! Loving your channel!
Awww thank you so much!! Her name is io 🥹🐶

Ahh thank you!! Haha I will take that into consideration! I fear this time I did not find the courage to push the stacks or rearrange them 🤣
Thanks!
Oh wow! Thank you so much Adrian!!
Thank you for suggesting The Will of the Many! After being depressed by modern fantasy for a while, this reignited my passion! I find it hard to tolerate Brandon Sanderson, but I'm excited to look into some of the other books on your list that I haven't read.
could this dog be any cuter
I loved Jade City and I love urban fantasy but I dont know much other books! A video on Urban Fantasy recs would be so nice 😊
"I hope this huge stack of books doesn't fall on me."
_Dog sits next to giant stack of books_ 😭
Amazing video Isa!! And the dog Ahhh 😍😍
Hahah thanks Wera!! It’s io 🐶✨
Storm light archives, Spinning silver, the poppy war, Ninth rain and wheels of time are my favourites. Stormlight archives is my favourite series of all time. I love Red rising saga too.
Putting all these books recommendations on my infinite tbr!!
Can't wait to get around and actually read The Sword of Kaigen.
So many good books in this list. The Dandelion Dynasty was my book series of the year, loved every minute reading those books.
Please please read Sword of Kaigen and then come back and let me know your thoughts!

Oh wait. I got bk to the video!!! 😂😂😂😂yesss......it gets better and better!! Haha commented too quickly lol
interesting that Poppy War is Honorable Mention here but that series of books was #1 All Time on her Grimdark Fantasy video.
Different criteria!! But Poppy War is within my favorite series of all time 🥰
Very cute dog! Are they a good reading assistant?
Hahaha she is the best! 🥹 only mission left is learn how to read
Imo the audio book of the Farseer trilogy really brings all of those characters to life. I have a hard time just reading that trilogy because of how good the audio book is to me.
Your dog is soo cute she’s giving you sugars 😢😊❤
I love your videos and attitude. I'm subscribing 🤣
Yay! Welcome!
I’m very much a beginner just trying to find something to start my fantasy journey that isn’t too complicated
I read Nettle and Bone after your recommendation and I LOVED IT! Gave it 5 stars. Also Will of the Many was phenomenal!! I was thinking about it for weeks
oh this makes me so happy!!! Thanks for letting me know you loved both books!
Awesome picks. I have yet to try DCC, Winnowing Flame or Kingfisher. Something to fix in 2025, maybe.
Hahah it scares me man that we are already thinking about 2025 😭! But yeah, a 100%
1.the poppy war
2. jade city
3.dungeon crawler Carl
4. Legends and lattes
5. Ship of magic
6. Malice
7. Of blood and fire
8. The ninth rain
9. Piranesi
10. Wheel of time

12. Nettle bone
13. Brandon Sanderson
14. The grace of kings
15. A game of thrones
16. The will of the many
17. The sword of kaigen
Terrible list. You are saving everyone's time, tbh
Green Bones is definitely in my top 10.
Right? Such a great series!
Thanks for keeping the pile in clear view throughout the video. 🤣
Anyway, if 1990 is a soft cut-off point, "Tigana" belongs on the list.
Sanderson is the autotune of fantasy.
Just read Blood Over Brighthaven (might be in my top 5 this year) so I'm gonna have to give Sword of Kaigen a go. Met author of Malice the other week, great bloke. Carl's Doomsday Scenario is just as good as Dungeon Crawler Carl (GODDAMNIT DONUT!!!)
Oh wow!!!! And how was John Gwynne??? Hahaha donut! 🥹
@FunFantasyBooks A really nice, friendly bloke. There was a bit of Q&A and then some book signing. RJ Barker (Gods of Wyrdwood) was there too, funny guy.
First event like that I've been to, definitely looking out for other favourite authors doing the same in future.
I highly recommend stories by Mel Todd and Lindsey Sparks! Great characters, great stories!
Many can be listened to on UA-cam.
I just read a new cozy fantasy book which published 2 days ago and totally love it. "The Teller of Small Fortunes" By Julie Leong really melt my heart and gave me good feeling after reading it. If you love "Legends and Lattes" by Travis Baldree, you will love this new book. Can't wait to watch your review on this book❤
Oh my god! I just received it yesterday! 🥹🫶 will then read it asap!
I'm at the 2nd minute and the anxiety of that huge leaning pile of books falling on you is too much... I can't even concentrate on anything else other than that terrifying leaning stack...
Bahahahahahahahah it was not my intention to make you suffer- but thanks for empathy I also felt I would die
Yeu! A new video!
Hahah yay!
No mention of Phillip Pullman's The Northern Lights.... shame
Good video, even your dog is a critic today.
Hahaha learned!
Yeah, Malazan hits the top here. Discworld is somewhere near. Realm of the Elderlings…
Hahaha! “Crushed by tower of fantasy books RIP”
Glad to see Sword of Kaigen.
Such an awesome book!

Jade City is a masterpiece.
Where are u?
I always hear good things about Jade City, but it really doesn't sound interesting to me.
Most of my favorites are in honorable mentions like jade city, poppy war, malice, etc
I would never put will of the many so high up. First cos the whole series isn't out yet (unlike most books in honorable mentions), second cos it's mediocre.
I would also not put song of ice and fire so high up cos it's never going to get completed.
Sword of kaigen and piranesi are great but they are not series. They belong in the honorable mention category for me.
My brother is not a reader but he said only yesterday game of thrones was good until that last season. So they really butchered those last 2 tv seasons
Nice video. Title shouldn’t have “of all time” in it if it’s just counting Modern novels. Contradictory.
Yeah! Fair enough- I debated on having it! But ultimately wanted to differentiate between modern vs classic
LLAP 🖖
Busy with what ? I wanna know
Cowboy 🤠
❤
🤠
No serious list of modern fantasy omits Earthsea.
I am considering Earthsea as a classic as it was first published before the 1990s!
Eres española verdad? 🤔
Si! De madrid!!
@FunFantasyBooks Me di cuenta por que muchos te los libros están en español 😅, pero muy buen inglés ojalá yo también poder hablar así de fluido!
@@FunFantasyBooks The sword of kaigen estara en espanol?
You're putting much effort in your videos, researching to give the best recommendations. But your subscribers are so low. it's really frustrating
Hopefully with time I will keep growing 🥹🤞✨ - thank you so much!
"Best modern fantasy books of all time" lol

Teach me please look so polit but a ….
Way too long introduction before naming the book. Only watched one review.
Nah Perfect timing

I think she could also just do what she did.. I watched the whole video and enjoyed it
