I don't read a ton of fantasy, but it's a genre I've been getting into lately more and more. I've been adding a lot of fantasy series to my TBR, and here are just four of the many that I really want to start soon:
The Ravenspire series by C.J. Redwine, starting with The Shadow Queen. This series looks like it has dark fantasy/fairy tale retellings, starting with Snow White and moving onto Rumpelstiltskin.
Daughter of the Pirate King series by Tricia Levenseller. I mean, it's pirates! I don't read enough stories about pirates.
Rebel of the Sands series by Alwyn Hamilton. I read an awesome review of the first book in the series over at Book Reviews by Di and I knew I had to read it, too. She describes it as "the Wild West meets the Middle East with a huge fantasy spin" - that sounds amazing! Plus, I can't get enough of that cover.
Reawakened series by Colleen Houck. Egyptian-inspired fantasy? Yes, please!
Have you read any of these? Which should I read first?
I don't really read a of fantasy either. I do have the Colleen Houck series though and one day plan on getting to it. Hope you get to and enjoy these!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like the idea of an Egypt-centered series, so I'm looking forward to that one!
DeleteI've been meaning to start some of these series as well, especially Daughter of the Pirate King. Every one seems to love it, and like you I don't read nearly enough books about pirates. Great list, Angela! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I have seen a lot of good reviews for that series!
DeleteI read a lot of fantasy but haven't read any of these yet even though they are all on my TBR. I actually just got an e-book of Daughter of the Pirate King from the Library yesterday though so hoping to start that one this week.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
DeleteYes yes yes!! I am SO DESPERATE to start all of these, especially DOTPK!! Pirates, banter, action, kickass heroine....it sounds absolutely perfect.

I know, it sounds like it will be so much fun! Can't wait to start it.
DeleteAh, I've only read one of these (Rebel of the Sands), and I didn't enjoy it at all, but I've heard good things about all of these books, so I hope you enjoy them! 😄
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad! Hopefully at least a couple of these will exceed my expectations!
DeleteGreat, more books to add to my Want To Read list....
ReplyDeleteWell, at the rate you're reading these days, you need more on your list!
DeleteI don't read tons of fantasy either, but blogging has me adding more and more of these on my TBR, buying tons and reading so much fantasy now ahah. And I love it :) I have heard good things about The Shadow Queen and Daughter of the Pirate King, both sound really, really good, hope you'll love them! I have read mixed reviews on Rebels of the Sands though, but I am hoping you'll love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marie! I'm very excited for The Shadow Queen and DOTPK!
DeleteI need to get my hands on Daughter of the Pirate King ASAP! And speaking as someone who totally loved anything Egypt related, I couldn't even finish Reawakened. I hated it that much. But of course I hope you will be able to enjoy it more.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad that Reawakened wasn't better for you! I figure I'll just try out the first book and go from there!
DeleteAll four sound good, but Rebel of the Sands is the only one currently on my TBR list—though I might add one or two of the others. I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope you do, too!
DeleteI have been wanting to read Redwine's books, because I fell in love with her after seeing her at a con. I have read Pirate King and it is one of my fave 2017 books. It is fabulous from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I think I may start with Pirate King, it seems to be the most popular!
DeleteDaughter of the Pirate King is one I've had my eyes on... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I may start with that one!
DeleteI have so many fantasy series on my TBR list. I keep putting them off because I usually don’t love fantasy. I want to read them, but other books look so much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Yeah, fantasy isn't normally tops on my list, but I seem to be adding more and more of them lately, so I figured I should actually get around to reading them!
DeleteI only read the Shadow Queen, but really enjoyed it! STill need to continue the series though. The other books are still on my TBR as well :) Hope you'll enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteNice! I hope you enjoy them, too!
DeleteI haven't heard about any of these, but the covers are so gorgeous!! I could always use more Egyptian-inspired fantasy in my life, I should check out Reawakened.
ReplyDeleteI know, the covers are what drew me to them in the first place!
Deleteoooh, Rebel of the Sands is such a brilliant book!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to read it!
