Embark on a magical journey into the enchanting worlds of fantasy and fairytales with these 12 captivating novels. If you seek to explore epic series, enchanting standalone tales, and realms filled with mythical creatures, powerful magic, and unforgettable adventures, these books promise an enthralling experience.
If you crave a blend of faeries, magic, and (spicy) romance
The “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series, where faeries, magic, and romance intertwine was a surprising adventure. The books follow the journey of Feyre Archeron (and her sisters) as she navigates the complexities of the fae realm, facing challenges, love, and peril. I read all five existing books this year: “A Court of Thorns and Roses,” “A Court of Mist and Fury,” “A Court of Wings and Ruin,” “A Court of Frost and Starlight,” “A Court of Silver Flames.”
If you like mermaids
“Lies We Sing to the Sea” intertwines mythology, mermaids, revenge and sacrifice through an intriguing narrative.
If you seek balance in your magic
Immerse yourself in a unique blend of fantasy with “The Sun and the Void,” where an interesting narrative unfolds, creating an imaginative experience of monsters and magic.
If you want to tame your dragon (or not)
“When Women Were Dragons” is a novel about not holding back, becoming who we want to be, research, mystery, gaslighting, and toppling the patriarchy — all swirling around the “mass dragoning of 1955.”
If you need to know more about President Snow
If you’re curious about the early days of the Hunger Games, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” provides insights into the complex character of President Snow. I enjoyed the movie, but found the book more useful for understanding the characters.
If you fancy a family curse
“The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic” weaves a tale of drama and magic in an enchanting narrative that combines the fantastical with the emotional.
If you’re into pirates and the rules of propriety
“The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels” delivers a delightful journey of romance, adventure, and giggles with this tale of lady scoundrels, pirates, and flying houses. Though it may take a while to fully engage, the whimsical elements make it a delightful read. And, if you like it but want something more spicy, check out the second book in the series “The League of Gentlewomen Witches.”
If you appreciate classic fairytales
“The Dark is Rising” is a timeless tale of ancient forces and prophecies in the battle of good versus evil.
“The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” takes you on a journey filled with wonder, weaving a narrative that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.
