You’re legit so pretty! Idek how it’s even possible like, make-up, thumbnail, face on 10
thank you so so much
Facts!
trying to transition from being obsessed with ya fantasy in high school to getting into some more adult stuff (I can’t read another book about a 17 year old protagonist I just can’t do it anymore 😭) so this video was SO great to see and I definitely added to my tbr
The Poppy War sounds lit af and like it’s 1000% my jam 😂😱 just put a hold on it at the library. Your influence! Impact!
YESSS
i've read almost all of these so your taste... ugh unmatched
You didn’t like these books?
@@Faerieshimmer i loved all of them
She’s amazing 🤎
YESSSS so glad you enjoyed them, love!
You just sold me on Black Sun, that sounds amazing!
i hope you love it!
i've been looking for a video like this! i want to read more adult fantasy (although i'm not a beginner), so thanks for this video!
thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy the recs💖
that lipstick is a loooook
Thank you!!!
Kings of the wyld is honestly amazing! Love the friendship and how funny they are
Fantasy is probably my favorite genre to read, great recs I can't wait to get to all of these!
I would also recommend Jay Kristoff's fantasy series as well, the worlds are incredible, the characters are really nuanced, and the plot twists give you WHIPLASH.
thanks for the rec!
Great recommendations! I love how you give the tropes and themes of the books without any plot spoiling. Thanks!
I just started reading fantasy this year, so this is perfect! I will definitely be checking out The Poppy War and Black Sun! That lipstick looks amazing on you btw!
Thank you!!! I hope you like them 💖
Yess! This video is exactly what I needed in my life. Thank you 😊❤️
You're so welcome!
I love this video!! Gave me a lot of good ideas. For some input I think Falling Kingdoms is another good intro book with multiple POVs. Its one of my favs!
I'm so excited to get into black sun! I have been anxious to get into it ever since you gave it 5 stars cuz I was already super excited
late to the party but I'm really glad you did this video, all the recs seem right up my alley. I've wanted to read some adult fantasy but it seems so daunting. I've had city of brass on my shelf for a while but I think I'm finally in the right mood to read it when I first began it I was working abroad so it was hard to find time to read and be absorbed in the book but I really liked what I read and this video encouraged me to continue. You are now my go-to fantasy rec person due to this list. Thank you!!!
Definitely added so many of these to my TBR when I’m ready to dive into more fantasy!
Hope you enjoy them!
yay!! i've wanted to get into fantasy for so long but had no idea where to start. thank you!!!!
I'm so glad this was helpful!
From the few booktubers I’ve watched recently all of you guys have suggested the books you mention. I’ve already added them to my TBR
in goodreads. Thanks for the review
thank you for the beginner recommendations!! I'm happy to hear that you consider the Poppy War a beginner recommendation because I have that one on my must-read list.
yes it's really excellent!
I had heard a little about some of these novels but I hadn't picked them up. Thanks for sharing as I enjoyed hearing your take on them.
Glad you enjoyed!
It is jumbo twists season on youtube and I hereeeee for it! Also Jade City and Black Sun sound amazing. I could tell how excited about Black Sun when you were explaining it. I love a book that has a gripping first chapter cause I read to many first chapters that don't have me wanting to read no more haha!
🥰
These recommendations are awesome! Most of the other fantasy recommendation videos I've seen have suggested the same three authors (none of whom I like) so I'm really excited to read something new, thanks!
a lot of these books scare me so idk when i'll get to them but i'm here to listen to mina's voice either way
omg this is so sweet
Thank you for the recs! As someone making the change from YA to fantasy they were very helpful. Also If you don’t mind reading a giant series, that’s fairly slow paced, but also really really lets you get to know the characters and world. I would recommend Wheel of Time. It’s not necessarily for new Fantasy readers, but it really lets you fall in love with the characters and world.
thank you for the rec!
Ah...and right from the word go, you've got me adding so much new stuff to my B&N wishlist. Love it! 💖
💕💕💕
Oh this video is so awesome! I have been trying to delve into more fantasy and sci fi these books all sound like fantasy stories that would I like. Thanks for the video : )
thanks for watching!
Oh how have I not heard of Kings of the Wyld! This sounds fantastic! I'm getting feels of Spinal Tap and Wild Hogs in a fantasy world LOL. I'm showing my age. Actually love that the protagonists are older too. Thank you for the rec!
I am loving that lip color! It's so rich and perfect for this time of year (or all year if you're a gothy like me lol)!
Such a great video! Thanks for the recommendations!
Added Black Sun! I trust your recs so much, I’m interested in seeing if I also vibe with the same fantasy’s as you!
new to fantasy too & reading jade city now and i fully agree, it's easy to get through & the story is great!
Thanks for this video! I'm soooo intimidated by fantasy, but I really want to give some books a shot! I'll definitely check these out! I particularly interested in Black Sun!
Black Sun is so underhyped I hope you'll ejoy it!
I watched this while nodding my head the entire time because BIG YES to all of these!!
& ahhh Black Sun I need to get to that one asap!
Lovely video Mina ♥️♥️♥️
thank you nicole and i hope you love black sun!!
thanks for this! i am a heavy romance reader but i'm trying to get into fantasy again so this perfect!
black sun sounds so cool!!
I love these kinds of videos and I agree with all of these that i've read :D - the only one i haven't read yet is kings of the wyld but it has made me want to get to it soon!!
i hope you like it!
You definitely convinced me to pick up The Poppy War
I own a copy of The Poppy War that I'm excited to get into!! and Black Sun sounds sooo amazing, moving it up on my TBR!
have fun!!!
Awesome recs! I'm currently reading Black Sun and I love it so much! I also really need to read Jade City and City of Brass! All the city books 😂
😂 hope you like them as much as i did!!
the way that I've read every single one except for black sun, I think this is the final sign that it's time for me to pick it up!
YESSS let me know your thoughts whenever you get around to it💕
This video was so helpful for me, I love reading fantasy but always struggle to find more accessible fantasy books to start with!
So glad it was helpful!
Black Sun is my favourite book of this year.
I recommend The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.
Amazing worlbuilding, lesbian main character, bisexual characters, gay characters, dragons, queendoms, politics, magic, and more.
I’ve been intimidated by the length but I wanna get to that one soon!
I need to pick up Rebecca Roanhoarse's books ASAP !! kings of the wyld seems like a fun time too...
yesss rebecca's books are so good i enjoyed her sixth world series as well if you prefer urban fantasy!
Thank you for all these amazing recommendations!
I just got black sun on audio and I’m so excited to listen to it!!
the audiobook is so great!! the narrators do an awesome job
You're one of the reasons I'm gonna read Black Sun! 🥰
YAY!!
ive got the ebook of kings of the wyld on your recommendation and i cant wait to read it :') (and city of brass & the poppy war are definitely going on the tbr list!!)
💖💖
I’m reading Black Sun rn and I really enjoy it! All the main characters make me feel something. The book reminds me of The Vanished Birds which is a sci-fi but it has a found-family narrative and the characters are also really compelling.
I'll have to check that one out!!
Kings of the Wyld reminds me of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. I'm not a big fantasy reader, but I could see myself enjoying this book. I still need to read Daisy Jones and The Six. I love rock music, especially if it's vintage from the 60s and 70s 😍.
yess it definitely had those vibes! so enjoyable
I plan to read Black Sun next month for The Late Night Book Club! Purchasing today :)
hope you enjoy it!!!
All of these books sound so good!!
im so excited to read black sun!
it's sooo good especially the audiobook! *chef's kiss*
I usually read YA Fantasy and I am glad I found your channel and this video! New subscriber here and I liked this video :) Thanks for the Adult Fantasy recommendations!
thank you for subscribing!!
I am just getting into fantasy myself and I can attest to Jade City being 🔥 am definitely looking to read City of Brass and Poppy War next 👀
Hope you enjoy them fam!
I need to get my hands on Black Sun. It sounds amazing!
YESS!!
I am absolutely loving this look and this is a video I for sure need 😫
bands?!? not a fantasy boy band 👀👀👀😪
i’m not sure if i like journey books but the band part of this is really interesting me
i also don’t know if i like political conflict fantasies but the idea of the tribes in city of brass is really interesting me
jade city 👀
black sun sound so good
I really needed this video, I've been trying to get into fantasy but I've been picking up the wrong books.
i hope this helps you find something you enjoy fam!
I basically want to read all of these 😂 I feel like The Priory of the Orange Tree was my first taste of adult epic fantasy and I definitely recommend it. I have also loved Terry Pratchett for years, he’s good if you’re looking for something funny.
thank you for the rec!!
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a while!! Fantasy is such a hard genre to get into if you don’t know where to start. Thanks so much for this!!
Hope you enjoy these!
I might have to read the poppy war...it's been sitting on my shelf for a while
YES DO IT
Wow, I love this. I already own 4 out of the 5 recommendations! And the 5th is on my list! I better get to reading :D
You should! I hope you'll love them
thanks queen 💘
i just finished from blood and ash...how did you know i needed this video
was blood and ash really as good as everyone says?👀
i’ve recently just read legendborn by tracy deonn, it’s a YA fantasy and wow oh wow i loved it🥺🥰 the representation? fantastic, 5 stars and such great world-building in my opinion😭
One of my favourite stand-alone fantasies is The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams. It deals with a parallel universive/dimension where fae live. It focuses on one man who ends up stumbling into their world in error. I've not read it for a good few years but I would really recommend.
thank you for the rec!
Love the lipstick by the way. Get it!
Thank you!
You make me want to read them all 😅
Also City of Brass is amazing for anyone browsing the comments
Journey books are the bestttt
i love them so much 🥰
I have been meaning to read all of these 😭😭😭. Except The City of Brass I have read that one lol. These all sound amazing 😍
omg kendra you have to try them and let me know your thoughts!!
@@MinaReads absolutely now to just decide which one to start with 🤣 the actual struggle
The Poppy War is DOPE. *pun intended*
Also no surprise you brought up Jade War. You are the reason this is higher up on my TBR.
YESS i hope you like, Jade CIty deserves all the love
I have been debating on getting black sun.
i need to get The Black Sun it sounds freaking amazing
yesss i hope you enjoy it i completely think it deserves more hype!
100% agree with Black Sun being life changing
Possibly The Fifth Season as a recommendation but haven’t read it yet!
Any recs with black main characters? Love the lip btw!
I haven’t read these yet but the fifth season by n.k jemisin and the rage of dragons by evan winters both come highly recommended!
Another great video
Thank you!!!
Haven’t even watched the video yet but damn that lip color looks STUNNING on you
thank you!
Oh Mina, you're always so beautiful in your videos 🤩
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Look at me adding every single one of these to my tbr lol
I'm sharing this in my FB book group.
💖
Recently I've been enjoying more adult fantasy (other genres in general)
not me having Kings of the Wyld, The Bloody Rose, The Poppy War, AND The City of Brass on my bookshelf but i haven't read ANY of them yet 😩😩😩
cmon just take the plunge!!!
Yeah i'd def like, second the big trigger warning on Poppy War, I love the series (i'm almost finished with the second book rn) but it is definitely one of the uh...most difficult series I've read.
I finished the trilogy a month or so ago and whew, get ready😓
I literally wanna read all of these 😂 love that for my wallet
How are you the cutest human ever? Love your videos! Awesome recommendations.
Oh thank you you're so sweet!🥰
Hi Mina
Awesome 1
Hi thank you for watching!
I would suggest reading “ The Throne Of A Witch. “ by forgotten_or_lost ! It’s still ongoing! It’s a fantasy story with what seemed to be a Enemies to lovers transition happening 😏 but over all it’s really good! SO READ IT [ it’s on wattpad btw! ]
Bisexual sea captain/mermaid you say? All the summary I need, I'm sold! 😂
I loved black sun, just finished it but the middle did get really political and a bit slower than the beginning and the end.
true but i loved the politics too!
POPPY WAR POPPY WAR!!!!
✨
💕
listening to mina simp for jade city for three straight minutes>>>> everything else
also LOOOOVED City of Brass and i def need to get my hands on Black Sun and Jade City asap
YESSS DO ITTT
Had no idea thats what the poppy war was about..
💖
💖
The first book sounds kinda like Six of Crows
i would definitely say that the fun tone and dialogue are similar!
Like Beautiful Girl
I’m sure a beginner
I don’t want to sound like a book snob, but I feel like every fantasy fan should read Lord of the Rings. It’s grossly European and old, but I appreciated fantasy so much more after reading it. There’s a FANTASTIC audiobook here on UA-cam as well.
If it seems too heteronormative from an outside perspective, trust me, its kinda gay for today’s standards. As a not straight guy myself, I read it with the perspective of one, and Frodo and Sam really got something going on.
That’s my recommendation lmao.
thank you for the rec!
@@MinaReads of course I love your videos!!
Yesss I love seeing pretty black girls recommending books
All these books I've read or are on my tbr! Super excited to read them - they all sound amazing
Hope you enjoy!
