Ranking EVERY Fantasy Book I've Ever Read! (183 books/series!)

controversial perhaps but when i read this when it was coming out for the first time it took over my life sometimes sarah j maas lands for me sometimes her books drive me bananas and i personally thought the original trilogy at least in this was pretty dang entertaining

goes in the heart eye category fun angsty i need to finish this trilogy but i have read the first two books

super fun really entertaining

is another heart eye series i'm gonna put it like there

i like game of thrones i don't love it i feel like as a lot of other people do and also the weight between books is just killer like let's just be honest it is kind of annoying so it goes in the good category

is solid there

solid why a fantasy option and i'm going to stick it around some of my other ya fantasy

i love this series this is such a unique and beautifully written why fantasy story and i think this will be my first ya series up here

is great i love this y a series so good i'm gonna put it around daughter smoking bone by laini taylor

amazing middle grade so good in fact i'm going to add this up into the demigod tier around nevermore because it's one of my favorite middle grades i have read in years

it's very solidly entertaining that's going to go in great as well

this book is really beautiful and really romantic and i'm gonna stick it there in heart eyes

which i'm gonna stick here so good

fantastic middle grade series full of humor and adventure and folklore we love it

okay so robin hobb my beloved i'm gonna stick the assassins apprentice here

i am really enjoying this series i'm excited to experience more of this series and i feel like it has a lot of potential to become one of my all-time faves but definitely high on the great scale

is also incredible this is gonna go in the great category

super weird super gripping it's gonna go there no it's gonna go like here yes

by holly black is a no very much so and no it's gonna go there

is so charming i'm actually gonna put this in the heart eye category because just like how much it made me feel and how much i loved the romance in this is just like there it was so delightful it made my heart sing

incredible this is like my current ya fantasy obsession cassandra claire has done it again it's addicting it's entertaining it has so much propriety i am obsessed

so i'm going to stick this in middle school we loved it because the original trilogy i did read in middle school and i was obsessed with like jace wayland was my life

i love top of demi god tier my favorite robert jackson bennett series to date

which is for sure heart eyes heart eyes around here i cried in my cafeteria when i finished that book i won't lie

this is kind of like at the back of good i almost want to put it in no it just didn't really deliver everything i was wanting

solidly good here it's connected to the kiss of deception series which but it feels like less romance forward so i'm gonna stick it just in good

i really enjoy this series as well great angst i wonder if i should put in the heart eyes category but i feel like it has more to offer to plot wise than just romance

i was pretty let down by this book i'm gonna put it at the back of good as well but again almost kind of in the no category for me maybe in the no category for me actually

incredible it's going here i read this recently i wish i read it growing up because i feel like it'd probably be in god tear if i had that like nostalgia element too but it was so good

i won't think it's called perhaps not this i'm loving but perhaps not as much as some of her other series but it's still demigod tier category

i like elantris i didn't like it as much as some of brandon sanderson's other reads but i still think it's pretty good i'm gonna put it kind of around here like after good omens but still near the top like mid range of great

oh yeah okay middle school me loved it but like an absolute iconic person read it's great

which oh no middle school me loved this series too it can go there

spiderwick and fablehaven which are great would re-read to this day

what a what a what a vibe killer middle school me loved it's going there post twilight read

this is a hard one because i'm kind of stuck between no and good like i think it's like a two and a half star but i also think it's like decent why a fantasy it just also wasn't for me

completely underrated demigod tier read as well fantastic why a fantasy more people need to check it out

is gonna go around merciful crow i think again another really solid why fantasy option

so this is the demon king like series two which i love i'm gonna put this here as well

is just okay it's gonna go at the end of good kind of entering into the no category as well like solidly fine but nothing that i would like write home about actually i think i want to put this in the no category

which i also really love and i'm also going to put in demi god tear but not ahead of robert jackson bennett's other series but i still really enjoy it

is a no big old no from me very bad very bad

i really dislike this book as well a more recent read for me

i need to reread this was one of my all-time favorite fantasy series when i was in high school i have not read it since high school

furthermore is a super fun and whimsical middle grade story i really like it i'm gonna stick it there

this is weird necromancer is in space but it's honestly kind of a vibe

we already know i love sylvia moreno garcia so much this is gonna go around the ghost bride

i really love this book i think it's really fun it's not like one of my all-time favorites but it's a solid book that i would highly recommend

friends i've reread it and it is incredible just as incredible as i remember it being amazing it goes up and great

middle school me loved it we're almost done

i actually enjoyed the first one and i would put it in heart eyes

you know good i'll put it around wicked deep actually because these kind of give me very similar vibes

i hated the second one so we're gonna put it here it's still a no because that is how much i hated the second one

incredible this is a comfort read for me it is a comfort movie for me it's one of my favorite stories of all time

one of my all-time favorite fantasy series and it's gonna go here this is an incredible like organized crime fantasy series so good deserves all the hype

i wish i loved this book but it's really kind of a three star for me like i think it's good to me it's all right it's better than these books but it's not quite as high as i personally wished it was

this is one of my favorite middle grade series i'm going to put it here ahead of the arithmetist but i've read all of the books that are currently out in this i just think it's so fun

it just did not live up to the hype for me and ultimately it's just not necessarily a book i would go out of my way to recommend

one of my all-time favorite why fantasy stories absolutely knocked it out of the park this goes and demigod tear

i'm gonna put this in heart eyes because this is another like super cozy read that just made me really happy while reading it

this is more steampunk but i loved this in middle school so this will go there

oh this is really fun i if you love an alchemic thriller story this is a great one to check out i think i'm gonna put this at the top of great

another such a weird book probably one of the weirdest books i've ever read but it really got me thinking i'll tell you what so that's gonna go there

a middle grade series this is such a good middle grade series so whimsical so thoughtful so engaging i can't wait for the next book to come out

is a no it's a no from me dog

great neil gaiman story i think it's my favorite neil gaiman i have ever read

by leigh bardugo which i really enjoy i'm a huge like dark academia fantasy fan so this is gonna go at the top of great

i need to reread this but i remember enjoying this i'll put this around here middle school me loved this quite a bit actually and i think i would reread it and enjoy it a lot too

is another beautiful lyrical like fantasy story standalone i'm going to put that here because i feel like these books kind of group well together

it's just a fun romance story about witches i will put that there

incredible ray bear is one of my favorite y.a duologies and i'm going to put this higher i'm going to put this right here it's so good read it

is gonna be a no for me i just personally wasn't too much of a fan

on the other hand loved this i thought it was beautiful and it's gonna go there

is awful no

i guess is this fantasy did i mess up here either way solid y a that will go there

this is also demigod status and it goes here love that series

honestly this is hard because it's like this book i didn't necessarily connect with but i can understand why people like it so i'm going to put it at the back of good because it was good it just didn't knock it out of the park for me

which is just a big no from me not a fan

i did not love this it wasn't terrible but it definitely is not my favorite leigh bardugo book

similar story this is really fun not necessarily mind-boggling but also nothing to really complain about either

is great this is such a good new historical fantasy series i'm gonna put it right here near the top of great as it deserves

okay so this is a new series that was not on my last tier ranking robin hobb is my favorite so immediate god tier immediate god tier

also incredible i'm gonna put that here

i did not like this very much i feel like this is just for me kind of overhyped so that's gonna go there

this is one of my favorite books it's so beautiful and just i don't know the story the structure the atmosphere the setting i love it so that's going to go in demi god tear for sure

is definitely a heart eye story lots of action very angsty very steamy that will go there

i love this series by laini taylor this is so beautiful i'm gonna stick this here so beautiful and emotional

this is also a throwback this is an angsty fantasy romance series i'm gonna put this in middle school me loved it because i did love it in middle school

i want tamora pierce to release more books in this series it's a really engaging why a fantasy series that i feel like is written in a style we don't see as often anymore

middle school me loved it but i honestly want to reread it because i feel like i would love it to this day

a book with a innumerable amount of hype but i actually thought it was pretty dang entertaining and i'm going to put it there and great

okay this is going to go like here this trilogy i'm obsessed with historical fantasy at its finest amazing

i need to continue my reread of this i still haven't read the last book but i've read the first four and i just need to reread them before the final book to have the proper context but i do really like this series

classic quest kind of like fantasy horror with like a bizarre quest scenario of unlikely people having to work together i thought it was incredibly effective

the bone season i like but i still don't feel like i like as much as everyone else i'm gonna put this at the back of great

by andrea stewart very good and i'm gonna put that here for now

i thought was all right gonna go at the end of good

which is fantastic i love nk jemisin she can do no wrong in my opinion and this goes there

this is going to go in demi-god tear there yeah here that feels good

a bit of a throwback i'm going to throw it in good a solid read for sure

ugh incredible i'm gonna put this around ella enchanted loved this series it had great illustrations too

foundational read and i'm putting it in demi god tear and no one can stop me so that's where that belongs

i will similarly put around here

we have our first god tier book impeccable incredible i love it so much

this is a demigod tier read almost god tier this is one of my favorite brandon sanderson's but not quite up there you know what i mean still 5 out of 5 stars though

is one of the prettiest books i've ever read in the middle grade space and in terms of middle grade i feel like it is definitely demigod tier for sure

oh this is some good middle grade that's gonna go there this is beautiful listen to the audiobook if you haven't already

girl of fire and thorns is one of my all-time favorite why a fantasy series i think it's amazing and very emotional

the giver quartet incredible stuff i have re i read the giver for the first time in middle school like many others and i have reread this quartet multiple times throughout my life and just love it so much

which i really like i like neo game it had great atmosphere

great thriller fantasy story really enjoy it really gripping i'm gonna stick that here

middle school me loved it i mean truth be told she did love it but yeah i'm gonna put this in great

is demigod for sure amazing stuff and i will put it here

fantastic family-centered multi-generational like beautiful lyrical magic again something i love so much

i don't know the more i sit with this book like the less i feel like i'm obsessed with it i still think it's good i just don't think it's like five star reads i'm gonna put this here

a book i enjoyed but didn't quite love it's going to go there in good

fantastic and as more books come out in this series this has a chance to make the demigod tier i feel like as well but for now i'm gonna put it there

kind of the same feeling i had for the winter's curve series it's you know i remember loving it but i'm not sure how much it would stand up but i do recall loving the romance

yeah this is good this will go like here solid

here we go some more demigod tier books this is going to go up here as well

which i'm gonna stick in heart eyes as well right there

is demigod i freaking loved this when i was a kid and i'll stick it around nevermore there so good

honestly a very solid why fantasy story did it necessarily like blow me out of the water like 5 out of 5 stars but i read it and i was really impressed with a lot of the creativity of the world top of good there

which i was for sure this was in the god tier last time i did this video but i think i'm going to put it down one it's just been so long and i still don't know when the last book's coming out and it's making me resent it a bit

is good it's on the tail end of great i feel like people love this series and i enjoyed it but i didn't love it as much as like i feel like a lot of other people did

this is demigod status and it goes here because it is amazing

solidly good lyrical interesting

this is another more controversial pick i think it's a solid book it has some major pacing issues for the ending the writing was good i love samantha shannon's like ideas and her worlds but i just feel like the ending really let down the entire book

if the queen of the tearling i actually really enjoy this series i'm gonna put that there

also solid i really enjoy this series i wouldn't say it's like something i love as much as up here but definitely like a three like in the three star reads for me

i wish i loved this book more this is another series i picked up wanting to just like new favorite series 5 out of 5 stars but it just ended up being just okay for me still super good great combat just not like a new all-time favorite

goodness i'm gonna put there this is probably a little surprising i feel like people love the raven boys i was never really able to get into it i've reread the first two books so many times hoping to continue on with the series and it just never really happened

i really love this is like a middle grade fantasy he needs to write more in the series but i remember enjoying the illustrations in the story

another beautifully written lyrical fantasy story that i personally also very much enjoyed gonna go there

another middle school me loved it moment

which is incredible this is definitely a demigod tear book i want to say i love it incredible probably one of the best standalones i've ever read in the fantasy space

this is i think i'm gonna stick it here i don't have much to say it was just like a solidly okay book for me

which i adore so much and this belongs in the demigod tear category

is really interesting super unique this is a story set in 1800 centering jewish folklore it was bizarre but so beautifully written

god tear love this series so much i'm gonna put it here

solidly good not much to say

this is one i read in like early college or high school i remember loving it but i don't know like how much i would love it today but i do remember loving the romance so much

the series is fine i don't even know if there's been any news about the next installment but i'm gonna stick that there

okay so this is hard because this is a 5 out of 5 star read for me but like it's because of the romance of how much i love the romance so this is going to go at the top of heart eyes because it was just so angsty and dramatic and i loved every second of it

oh i love this book this book is great i feel like this book is super underrated and underappreciated i think it's romantic but sweeping with great atmosphere and magic

this is a really like charming heartwarming story i think it is pretty dang entertaining and a lot of people love it

is good it's fun no major complaints

this was my first cinder williams trama series i read it in middle school i have not reread it since middle school and it was like my favorite series at the time

honestly i was a little underwhelmed by this series i'm gonna stick it at the back of good and it's kind of like almost in the no category but like this one hurts because i really wanted to love it but it just didn't perfectly land for me

i feel like a very underrated victoria schwab duology which i'm gonna stick here i think it's very good

which i'm gonna stick here one of my favorite y a fantasy series

oh man so much of my early youtube career was centered around how much i loved this series but i do feel like it fell off quite a bit at the end i do have a lot of nostalgia for this i think i'm gonna put it in heart eyes

incredibly underrated this is a really interesting like urban fantasy story full of monsters and investigation and i'm gonna stick it around good omens

which is an incredible middle grade series i'm gonna put that here so good such good writing i'm a big middle grade fantasy fan and this is just impeccable

which it's been so long since i've read this i don't i think i'm gonna put it in good solid but i don't think it's in the great category quite for me

oh twilight objectively a very bad book but also pretty foundational to me falling in love with reading and also i loved twilight growing up i was so staunchly team edward but it's also awful

i was obsessed with scott westerfield growing up the ugly series the midnighter series it was top notch

this is gonna go in the no category i only read two books did not love it

i liked this book i didn't like it as much as tj clune's other release so i'm gonna stick it kind of more around here but i still thought it was a really touching and heartwarming story

which i just really enjoy naomi novik's standalone fantasy stories i think the writing is just beautiful and just captivating

oh i'm gonna say like no just no still i remember kind of liking it but also was annoyed with all the characters even as a middle school early high schooler

this was a really like big moment for me when i read this is one of my first adult fantasy series and i feel like it really introduced me to the genre and i really enjoyed it

by rae carson i like i'm going to put it here

i love this brandon sanderson novel it's actually a standalone definitely going the demigod tier

i'm also gonna put in the no category

which i think is a really fun and angsty romance i'm gonna put that there

i hated this even when i was a kid i remember i was trying to fill the void after i finished city of bones and i picked this up and i despised it

that's a no that's a big that's a big no for me

super weird super beautifully written i love a weird fantasy book as we've already established and i'm gonna put that here

heart eyes this is a fun urban fantasy slow burn romance story with some pretty decent action and has good writing i think it's very engaging

is good has a lot of great ambiance it's fun good halloween read
