I'm 63 and have been reading YA for over 10 years...I love it
There are some truly fantastic YA stories out there! 😍
This validates my tastes
This is my plan too! Also share your faves
YOU ARE MY LITERAL ROLE MODEL AND I LOVE YOU
I'm 33 and I'm reading Throne of Glass series, I love it!
When it said older I was like “oh okay so like 20-30 year olds” and then you said 17-college. LMAO NOPE I’m 23 and feel OLD OLD. I still read YA books daily 😭
Same here! I still love them! :D
@@JessieMaeBooks yes!! I just think they are so fun and lighthearted to read!
23 is not old - from a late-40s who still reads YA (never stopped) as well as the “grown-up” stuff
I’m 50 and still read YA or anything that interests me. I definitely do not discriminate when it comes to a good book.
Lol. I’m 29 and that made me feel ancient
I am 33 and I love YA Fantasy books! :)
I’m 28 and I do, too!!! 😍❤️
I’m 61 and enjoy YA books, sometimes more then any other books
40 year old that reads YA as much as other genres!
I'm 24 and I do too😍
@@lsschwartz me too 😀
I'm in my mid 30s and still read YA. I don't think and have ever thought that books should have an age group, but I definitely think if a book has too much "romance" it should definitely not be labeled for young adults haha
I agree! It's more about reading maturity level haha. Not quite age.
Yep! Like not saying younger people can’t read it but it shouldn’t be on the same shelves as something clearly written for 13 year olds.
I'm 61 and I love YA fantasy.
My favorite authors are Tamora Pierce and Diane Duane. Every fantasy by both of them is exceptional.
Definitely need to read books from both of those authors!
Seconding everything by Tamora Pierce! I would say her early Emelan series are tailored towards a younger/teen group but also fully worth reading (I actually read them only after finishing all the Tortall books after uni), but the series grows in maturity with readers (and the characters). Tortall was an entry point for me into YA fantasy, and she remains a comfort even today. I tend to re-read often.
Hush hush is great too ❤️
Will of the empress bu Tamora pierce got me out of a 4 month reading slump
❤️ I'm 48, and have been reading YA since even before I was YA. Tamara Pierce is awesome!
Just turned 58. Enjoy many genres but YA Fantasy is a particular favorite. Also worth mentioning....Folk of the Air series by Holly Black. Great for older YA readers!
The young elites is a trilogy that I really enjoy to this day because it was one of the first stories I read that didn't follow a good person
Right?! I loved following the hero turned villain, sooo fascinating 😍
I've never tried a book where the protagonist becomes an antihero so will definitely buy the young elites to try it!
@Joharis I love her other dystopian series too. (The Legend series) the characters feel more real and raw than other dystopians I’ve read
@@lindsayh8374 I've heard amazing things about that one. I will have to check that out because I agree with you, her characters are amazing!
I've read Six of Crows and it's sequel and am absolutely in love with it. Thank you so much for bringing attention it!
Yeah, me too IT S SOO GOOD I m absolutely in love with all the characters.( But i can t talk to people about it cause they haven't read it so my energy is focused on yt comments) :))
Just started Six of Crows last night 😀
Have you read her Shadow and Bone trilogy? They are excellent, too!
@@KG-VanityInKnickers it s on my tbr. I can't wait to get my hands on it
@@KG-VanityInKnickers Yeah, I have! It's also one of my favorites. Nikolai and Kaz Brekker are some of my favorite book characters ever. I love the vulnerable arrogance
I absolutely loved The Knife Of Never Letting Go! I read it as a 12 year old bit still really enjoyed it, I totally agree with you, it's criminally underhyped!
Yay I’m so glad! I really think any age can enjoy that series, it is so so good! 😄
I'm about to pass out!! I have been in a book slump lately...feeling like 27 is too old for YA, but finding the thought of moving on to adult novels daunting! Thanks random UA-cam suggestions! Lol
ACOTAR is definitely one of the best series I’ve ever read. It’s not just about the first book, but the books after are just amazing
I’m 27-throne of glass is one of my all time favorite series. sooo good😍
Been reading YA books since I've been a "young adult" going on 26 now .... lol love them , always will!! also, your book shelf is the one of my dreams!!
I think the YA genre has some of the best writers. Even if they are targeted for younger audiences, every avid reader can appreciate great writing.
I'm so glad there are more people who think "Six of Crows" is a bit too adult and dark for younger audience.
Thank you!
Love your recs! ♥♥♥ All of these books are amazing!
Scythe is a very fire novel, Hungergames-esque levels of good plot
And I darken is such an underrated trilogy!!! It's really good.
I get how people can not like it, but I definitely am one of the people who absolutely LOVED it. It was soooo good.
LOL ACOTAR was super dark as well, lots of torture as well as spicy moments! Sarah's writing is maturing with each novel she writes. Which I love! I'm 26 so its awesome but I would warn parents about her newest series, Crescent City, its 100% true adult content.
The Raven Boys is one of my favourite series of all time. Highly recommend!
Frankly I never stopped reading YA novels & have no plans to stop! A good story is a good story irrespective of the “intended” target audience. (In my late 40s 🧑🏻🏫)
Agreed 100%!!!
The Witchlands is another great series I'd add to this list.
I’m always trynna say how much I love The Young Elites, but none of my friends know about it!! It’s so underrated and original because of the morals and actions of the main character. I love how much the characters change, so one second you love them, the next you hate them, and then you start to love them again.
I was just googling YA novels with characters in their mid 20s yesterday and today your video popped up so thats 👌
Mistborn is such a an amazing epic fantasy! It’s such a great way beginner book for adult fantasy
I should start reading Young elites right now ❤️
It’s sooo good! I loved it!
Where is my throne of glass gang at?
Hiiiiii
hey y'all 🥰I'm currently reading crown of midnight (second book) and I really loved throne of glass so far 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@Anonymousess777 nice!
They need to make it a tv show
I just finished the series and it is soooooo good!!
Not this video being recommended to me seven months later haha! I’m actually reading through the Throne of Glass series (nearing the end of book 2) and I can already tell the next books are going to be so much darker/ more mature. And I Darken keeps catching my eye! I might have to put it on my list for ‘21. What a great video!
Thank you so much Tori!! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series! And I Darken is so good 🤩
Yes, I agree Sarah J Maas definitely belongs in the adult fantasy section. Her books are explicit in detail, erotica.
This is the video I needed. I haven't read any fantasy this year. *SCYTHE* sounds like it would be for me.
SCYTHE. IS. SO. GOOD.
Mist and fury was such a fking surprise lmao (yes it’s my fave as well XD)
**starts with marie lu recommendation*
me: okay subscribe!
Saw ACOTAR & TOG on your hand, clicked it. Since you held up two of my favorite books, thought it'd be good,
Glad I did
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has been super confused by YA vs. adult fantasy. I’m a huge fantasy lover and have wanted to get more into adult fantasy, but have been really intimidated because when I think of the ‘adult fantasy’ genre, I think of giant, confusing worlds with really intricate plots.
But I know that not all adult fantasies are like that and it’s nice to know that I’ve read a lot of these series. I totally agree that ACOTAR should have been adult fantasy all along. My 14 year old self did not know what I was getting into with that one 👀
Reading with Abby yeah I was initially intimidated by the genre for that same reason but have found some adult fantasies that are wonderful and not too dense at all! I would try Foundryside if you’re looking to get more into adult fantasy 😄
@@JessieMaeBooks What is the first adult fantasy book you would recommend? Still Foundryside?
I would also include the Study Poison series. Besides having a great story, character development and magic, it also has some dark undertones like the mention of abuse the protagonist went through (and hence PTSD), and it eventually shows more of a political issue between two countries, but it also has a beautiful yet subtle love story 🥰
(Maybe this series is considered adult fantasy but I still see it as YA fantasy)
Me, 15, read ACOTAR and SOC when I was 13 😂
But I loved them! haha 💕
@@EmilybShore I thought there were unhealthy relationships as well.
@@aelina.galathynius6780 rhysands and feyres relationship is also not healthy. None of the relationships SJM writes are healthy or wholesome. Feyre is allowed to have PTSD but Tamlin is not? but everyone seems to Stan the Feminist “It’s your choice” King Rhysand although he’s problematic as fuck (only woke for his inner circle, and excuse me, how can we actually ever see past the horrible abuse in the first book??!). None of the troubled past excuses the abusive behavior of Rhys in the first book. My two cents and I used to be a fan of the books at first.
@@aelina.galathynius6780 I didn’t say he was not morally gray. He’s only woke for his inner circle. Like come on. Most powerful most good looking Blabla in Millennia but he can’t free women in the court of night? Like, if he wanted to he could have raised it all to the ground and start from scratch. That’s the problem with SJMs writing. She writes so much about how they’re the greatest, most powerful people EVER but then they only use it to advance themselves. Idk. I used to like her books a lot and reread them multiple times. And every time I got sicker of the bullshit. But yeah, I don’t have a problem with people liking the book. Just don’t sell it to me on the grounds of “healthy relationships”... they’re not.
@@aelina.galathynius6780 ah and sorry, regarding the PTSD and being bad for the good: yeah but that’s the thing. Both of them had mental issues but SJM turns around and makes one character the absolute baddie (she also does this with chaol in TOG who had some very valid criticism) just because it’s convenient for the plot. Tamlin deserves the same nice recovery treatment Feyre gets. He’s an asshole because the author stopped liking him and you can feel that when you read. And regarding Snape: but he’s still not a good person! That was the whole thing about Severus Snape! His behavior was selfish and terrible. He abused other kids as a teacher (Neville and Hermione come To mind) and nothing he did to save Harry will make that better. And I think it’s a bit weak to call sexual assault (cause that’s what Rhys did) and drugging someone a saving mechanism to let Feyre cope. It’s just inexcusable and gets romanticized by the fandom.
I read The Raven Cycle as a teen and didn’t care about it much. ReRead it as an adult last month and was OBSESSED 😂
I read 6 of all of those. The rest I’ve heard of them but I’ve been hesitant to read because I’ve been on a reader’s block can I say 3 years? I mean I did read some books in that time but it felt like a chore instead of enjoying. I’m trying to get in my game again since I’m in vacation I really want to read again but I’m afraid of leaving it hallway. I’ll start with Six of Crows since that was the genre I was sort of reading. Idk I’m 22 and I felt like I didn’t options for recommendations, but I found this so I’ll go for it. Thank you so much!! New subscriber!
I am interested in a video for the younger reader too. I am 35. My daughters are 14 and 15. I would love to hear your take on books for a younger audience. Thanks!
amy
Awesome! I’ll plan on doing this one as well 😄
Try Keeper of the Lost Cities it's a great YA fantasy. WITH a female lead. An excellent series. You get to the hero grow as a person not just in power.
I’m 57 and love YA fantasy. I don’t feel old. 😀
I recommend An Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir! It focuses on teenagers, however the world building is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it as a 25 year old!
Yes!
Anyone who liked raven boys, I highly recommend Scorpio Races, also by Maggie Stiefvater. It's been my favorite book since I first read it. Also raven boys is amazing
I would also recommend the Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathan Stroud, though some might call it middle grade. More specifically the original trilogy. The main arc of the series is about slavery, how systems of power corrupt, and watching someone you love turn into a monster. Genuinely one of the best series I've ever read.
Awesome!! Adding to my TBR! Thank you for the recommendation!
Finally someone talking about The Raven Cycle series!!! This is one of my top three series of all time. It’s so unique and complex but so engaging. Maggie is a spectacular storyteller.
Yes!!! It's still one of the most unique series I've ever read!
As a high school English teacher I appreciate the strong selling points for many of these. I have read about half and added several to my TBR list. Thank you for the recommendations.
Glad it was helpful! :D
Really good list. I already read most of this books. Totally on my TBR are Strange te Dreamer (even though Daughter of smoke and bone wasn't for me, this book seems totally different and often recommended) and since i love VE Schwab This Savage Song is definitly a must read.
I have never really read marie lu, and Legend has been on my list too long (two 15 year old characters with the world on their shoulders and totally badass in a dystopian world? Yeah, got over that plot long ago so it's still on the "maybe some day, probably never" list), but Young Elits sounds interesting...
Overall i agree with the list especially Mistborn and Six of Crows, two of my favorites.
Can you please recommend for me a soft romantic book
@@imenechegri8232
A soft romance book:
I'll give you the sun by Jandy Nelson
Thank u for posting this. I'm in my 50's & love YA books.
...Fantasy romance is my favorite. I wish I had as many books as you do in the background. That’s heaven right there.
One of my favorite things about being a middle school educator is that it gives me an excuse to continue reading YA forever lol (not that you need an excuse - there are so many incredible YA books out there that absolutely anyone should be able to enjoy). I love videos like this because they give me so many ideas for additions to my classroom library!
When she got to The knife of never letting go🙌🏾
Oh yes, I want to read Victoria Schwab’s books so much.
This Savage Song is my favorite book of all time. It's beautiful.
Yes I know I’m a year late… but I just wanna say, I loved the Scythe series! I read it at the beginning of 6th grade (so I was 11-12?) and I thought it was amazing by then! You might wanna be a more mature reader to read it at a young age, but I highly recommend! I’m planning on re-reading it this year, and diving back into the world, which made me cry one too many times! XD
I’m excited to check out some of the books you recommended! (I’m a few years older now then when I read Scythe, but my favorite book genres haven’t changed!)
Also anyone in the comments, I need some book recommendations that fall under:
-YA Fantasy (romance is ok as long as it has some action)
-Nothing too violent/explicit (I’m 13, but I am more of a mature reader if that helps)
But thank you! (Sorry this is so long!)
I’m 16. Let me help you.
1. Summoner trilogy by Taran Matharu
2. Fault in our stars
3. Anything by Rick Riordan
4. Same goes for Roald Dahl
5. And Enid Blyton
6. Red Rising trilogy. It has a lot of violence but the characters are loveable. I recommend it for 14 year olds. I read it then without a problem.
7. Song of Achilles is actually pretty good. I don’t see why it should be labelled as adult. But I group it with Red Rising nonetheless.
I’ve only read these books. I hope you find something you like.
thank you for making this video!!! i LOVE ya books but often have a hard time finding ones that don’t make me feel like i’m still in middle school. so i really appreciate this video, and the fact that you recommended books that arent as well known!
Wonderful selection of books and very enthusiastic reviews! Well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was so interesting! I am often very confused, when it comes to young adult vs adult fantasy...
I think everyone is at this point haha! There are some that are very obviously adult and some very obviously young adult, but there's sooo many that fall in that middle territory that a lot of people are trying to figure out lol!
Laughed out loud when you said “Older readers” as “higher college level” lol hun I thought you meant actual older readers like me in their 30s and 40s 😂😂
Any age can enjoy these books :)
Hhahahah SAMEEEE
The Graceling series by Kristin Cashore is another good one and the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
The funniest part was me finding that most of the books were already on my Amazon Wish List 🤭 Great recomendations! 💕
Yay! So glad you thought so and already had them on your radar! 😄
I love your taste of books and the YA fantasy rec video is brilliant .Also I'd love to see mystery /thriller recs and historical fiction's !!! I recently wrapped up Red Queen and loved it so much so I'll read some books from your rec in the video. Thank you for the amazing video. Good Day!
I’m so glad you love it! Thanks so much for the nice comment! I’ll definitely write those down as future videos 😄
i’m 15, but i’m definitely on a very higher level of reading than most people my age. i’m definitely gonna check these out!!
In seventh grade at my school Scythe was one of the options of books to read for a dystopian project. Read this book when you want but if you're wondering if it's appropriate, I think 12 y/o could easily read this.
I just finished the young elites series and omg i am soo thankful I stumbled upon your video. You gave me another book to cherish and love, cuz that book is truly wonderful!
I’m so glad you loved it!! It’s very underrated! 😍
I felt the same way about The Young Elites! That trilogy is still the only thing I've read from Marie Lu, but I loved it! So many of these books are on my TBR, I should get to them sooner.
I loved The Young Elites, I’m so glad you loved it too! 😄
Throne of glass is def my favourite YA series I ever read as of now
I love The Seven Realms Series by Cinda Williams Chima. I read a lot of genres (YA included) and am almost 40, but Throne of Glass got worse at every book to me and I abandoned it.
I agree, it was unreadable by the end, but I finished it. A court of thrones and roses was better in my opinion.
I really appreciate this video! I keep looking for fantasy to read bc I feel like I've grown out of a lot of what I used to enjoy, but I'll definitely give the ones in here that I've not yet read a try!
Got some good book ideas! Thanks! I’m 22 but also love those younger fantasy books so I would love to see that video!
I absolutely love these videos, you go into so much depth about topics and themes within the books more than websites do so thank you so much, as a 17 year old this was a very helpful video to see which books are more mature, also a new subscriber!! absolutely love your channel :)
This was so helpful! I’m almost 17 and have been having trouble finding books that are the right kind of age for me. I’ve read The Knife of Never Letting Go but that’s all from the list. Can’t wait to start working through them!
Thanks for this video!! I kinda need to get out of my comfort zone and read something different for 2021!📚📚. Fantasy books should be for all ages. I’m getting out of a severe reading slump right now and it feels good to get out of it 😄😄😄
My three favourite fantasy series have to be Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I don't know if they could as Fantasy for Older readers but they are by far by favourite worlds to explore and read.
Sarah j. mass is legendary!
I have Daughter of Smoke and Bone on my TBR this month, I'm glad to hear that you think it appeals to older audiences as well as teens! I love some YA, but I have found that it can be hit or miss for me. Great video!
I need this video. Is just what I was looking for!! Thank you so much
Yeah I read ACOTAR series when I was like 13... scarred for life. I was an innocent child 😂😂
Still loved the series though besides. It was a great story
somehow i've never seen this video but it was on my homepage so here we go!! i really want to read the young elites, i remember loving legend when i first read it. I need to read Mistborn, And I Darken, and the Knife of Never Letting go as well. Loved this!! ♡
As a thirty year old I see myself readying ya books in my nursing home
Same!! 💕
I read a court of mist and fury and kingdom of ash when I was 11.
I agree with your review on Six of Crows. I felt the same, I mean the characters are supposed to be around 17-18, though they read more on the 20's. Besides that, it is quite a good book.
The only YA/low fantasy I have read is Harry Potter. I've read some middle grade fantasy as well like The Belgariad/The Mallorean by David Eddings. When I started reading fantasy, though, the only thing that really counted as YA was The Hobbit. Lord of the Rings was more upscale from that but The Hobbit was definitely for younger readers. But, honestly, they let us read rated R books like Stephen King in grade school when I was a kid(I'm old). Don't think the YA genre even became its own thing till 2000s and beyond. I'm sure it started in the 1970s but the pickings were slim. I have heard of Mistborn and Throne of Glass. Will prob give those a try. Cool vid.
Ahhhh I love Six of Crows soooo much such a great book!! Thank you for the other recommendations I added multiple to my list of books to read!
yes I would love the teen and preteen fantasy recommendations
52 and I love ya novels of all kinds. Thanks for this, I was looking for new titles to dive into! 😀
This is really helpful! I'm 16, but I've always read from the younger section because I hate romance centric stories. I don't mind if it's sprinkled in but once it gets too detailed, I get disgusted. And all novels aimed at my age are very romance centric, so I really appreciate that you pointed out which ones have less romance.
I think the arcana chronicles definitely caters to the other side of ya. Loved your content and looking forward to seeing more
I love Patrick Carmen's books. The land of Elyon series is my favorite as well as the Atherton series! They are probably younger YA books but i don't mind at all.
Oh my gooooosh!!! I am so glad I found thia channel, you're a genius!!! I find this genre so fun and comforting ☺
Also I second your recommendations for Throne of Glass (Manon❤), Strange the Dreamer, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Six of Crows, Young Elites, A court of thorns and roses - And I Darken is not my favorite but I definitely feel like it would appeal to many, it's very special
Thank you for the other recommendations! I'm going to check out other videos on your channel too!!! Can't wait to see what I find 😍💌
Nice job. I liked your topic. You seemed to get more comfortable as you went.
I love YA and I am surprised you didn't mention Children of Blood and Bone. That is YA but also has adult appeal. I'm 59 and work in a middle school library.
I haven’t read it yet! 😄 but definitely want to get to it soon!
@@JessieMaeBooks you really should! It's amazing and so is the second book. I am dying to read the third!
27 male here with two children. I've recently decided to pick up YA fantasy novels due to the lack of Fantasy tv shows and movies that appeal to me haha. Great video definately made me want to pick up some more books.
Some fantastic recommendations! I would love to see your take on great YA fantasy for younger readers / reluctant readers. You have a keen sense for this!
I did this video! 😄
ua-cam.com/video/sf81i5tNl78/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!!
I'm 57. I turned to the YA section of our small library a few years ago as I had exhausted everything I wanted to read in the adult section including the classics(I am not of fan of murder mysteries which is the majority of their selection) and have been so pleasantly surprised that I just devour the stuff!! Their YA section is WAY more diverse than the adult area...
I loved the COTAR books. I read them after the TOG series and liked them better as I believe Maas took TOG a book too far, finding some of the plot superfluous and just drug out to the point of frustration for me. I did think the ending was worth it; it was just a battle getting there at times (har har... no pun intended). That being said, I did approach the head librarian when I was through with the COTAR series and questioned her if she had read them and that they were definitely NOT YA material... LOL
Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows and the sequel Crooked Kingdom are friggin excellent along with her Shadow and Bone trilogy. You mentioned intelligent writing when describing this book and that is very true. I actually found them a breath of fresh air. The SAB trilogy sheds light into some of the material in SOC so it should be read first, imo. Its seldom I buy books but these I bought and are now in my cycle of rereads... side note, I keep books for a very long time. I own a VERY dog eared and yellowed copy of the book Swan Song by Robert McCammon from the late 80's which I read once a year (reminiscent of Stephen King's The Stand) along with some Mercedes Lackey, Stephen King and Anne McCaffrey books)
I just could not get into The Raven Boys for some reason... sigh... but look forward to finding the others in this list.
Just going to throw this out there... One series that I enjoyed was the Diabolic series by S.J. Kincaid in case anyone is interested.
TOG is one of my favorite series! I'm listening to it for the 3rd time now, currently on TOD 😅
Hi! I'm new to booktube and I'm trying to build my TBR list for 2021 and this video was perfect for me and what I'm looking for! Thank you for your recommendations!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear! ❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I have only read two books on the list, ACOTAR and Six of Crows, and I agree that the latter shouldn't be sorted into the YA genre. I think that it was put there because of the previous Grishaverse books, which do read more like YA than SoC.
I actually did a bit of an analysis (feel free to read I overdid an analysis) for ACOTAR on my channel, because I only recently read it. I think the style makes it more YA than adult, but the following books in the series to change genre. Though, I reckon that it was sorted into YA because of the fanfictiony style of writing (which I'm not all that against). I'm not sure if I'd recommend it for people who are used to reading adult fantasy, though. I think that it would need a few fixes before crossing the genre, but that's just me.
Thanks so much for the lovely video and take care!
The book club I'm in reads YA fantasy! My favorite series is Sisters Grimm, which is marketed as children's but has some pretty dark turns. If you ever come across it, I highly recommend it! There are nine books that I read in like four days.
Reasons why I subscribed:
1. A Marie Lu recommendation. I ADORED THE YOUNG ELITES!
2. Knife of never letting go! I lost serious sleep over the chaos walking trilogy. Patrick Ness needs more love!
3. Six of Crows!!!!!!! Much much much better than shadow and bone.
4. Scythe! More people just NEED to read this series! Tho the first book is my favorite and I sort of hated The Toll.
I agree with your list recommendations. Most that you mentioned are still stuck in my shelf to be read soon and I'm currently exploring Schwab's Vicious. Love this vid!
Yay!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed all of those!! Vicious is FANTASTIC, I hope you love it as much as I did!
Hated The Toll?? No 😭😭😭
@@KD-CD that's just how I felt about it. Scythe was a very strong start of the series. Thunderhead was also great but The Toll just fort of fell downhill. It became dull, and the pacing was just super slow. But those are only my thoughts. Maybe you'd like it. 😊
@@mathialim3054 I read it when it first came out I was just shocked at what you said. Even though I understand where your coming from.
@@KD-CD ohhh I see2. The ending also didn't work for me. It just seemed like something Citra and Rowan wouldn't do. I did hope that we would have more badass moments and that they would bring the scythedom down together. :/
