a few honorable mentions go to things like his dark materials by Philip Pullman which were the first books I ever read the books that got me into reading as a teenager the black magician Trilogy by Trudy canavan six of crows by Leigh bardugo which I guess is technically why a fantasy more than adult fantasy

the Beast player by nahoko uehashi is a Japanese novel inspired by Aboriginal Australian mythology apology really cool I've got a written review I've talked about it in other videos go check them out I loved that book and it's sequel

start with the blade itself it's a fantastic book

the broken Earth series is unlike anything you'll ever read it is experimental and strange but you can see the origin of every choice that she made when it comes to her plotting her character writing and her World building

this is very good plotting very well paced Sanderson really knows how to create a rhythmic flow to his novels I'm really impressed by it

it's a really fun urban fantasy story that reinvents the Faustian deal concept and I loved it

the Name of the Wind by Patrick rothfuss which everyone loves and I love it too

it's beautiful I would say the best thing about it is the writing Morgenstern has an incredible way with words her writing is magical it is beautiful she really is an eloquent writer

this is epic fantasy this is high fantasy but it's also something fresh new queer eccentric to a point and stunning World building everything you'd expect from a true beautiful Epic Fantasy novel
