I would personally recommend The House in the Cerulean Sea as an adult fantasy book for fans of middle grade. It really had middle grade vibes, and it's a comfort read for a lot of people.

I don't know if you've read Ranger's Apprentice, but Magician by Raymond E. Feist feels very similar to it, especially at the beginning. Magician was the first adult fantasy I read and I liked how familiar it felt to me, since the beginning and central characters were so similar to what I'd read before - would definitely recommend :)

@@crikeymikey8731 Thank you for your suggestion! I'll look into it!

@@utoldschoolphenom Hope you enjoy it :) - good luck!

Read The Trials of Morrigan Crow or Amari and the Night Brothers!

It's one of those books that is so good that I want another one even though I respect it as a stand-alone

Good for you. Do what you love. 🤗 big supportive hugs.

You too😊

Never seen someone showing with no jacket 😮

Totally agree!!! Middle grade pleaseeee

Very underhyped!

Oh that would be me! Thanks for the rec, I'll add to the tbr right now! :)

The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear are book one and two in this series, and neither are split into parts. The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a novella following a minor character from the series. The third and final book in the series is elusive and no one knows if or when it will come out- it's the same situation as George R.R. Martin with Winds of Winter.

It’s actually pretty graphic. I had no idea about it before picking it up and was really shocked. I would either skip this book or maybe figure out what pages it’s on so you can skip over it. It’s a beautiful book but I would NOT read that scene if you would be triggered by SA

@@Calliefornia923 thank you for the warning. I think I'll avoid this one

​@@joxertd you can skip the pages and enjoy the book all the same. It was what I did

How queer do you want it to be? The Bone Shard Daughter and the Six of Crows duology are both pretty dark and have very good representation in general, each one including a queer couple. Is that enough or did you want the main plotline following a queer character? For the latter, I'd recommend Cemetery Boys. It's a YA fantasy romance standalone, and while it does have some flaws (the climax is terribly written imo), the representation is very good and I enjoyed the romance. The main character is a gay trans guy, and I think it counts as dark too: death is a big theme in the book among other things.

I'd highly recommend Summer Sons! It's very queer and very dark. It's a southern Gothic and definitely gives creepy vibes in the best way, with death being a big theme.

@@booklanerecommendations I have read those books (so you are pretty darn accurate in your recommendations lol) but I'm looking for something darker. Thank you for the recommendations anyhow! If you liked those I would highly recommend Hell Followed With Us- if you haven't read it already. Have a great day!

@@Impala-ui8nl I totally forgot about that book but it is on my tbr! Thanks for recommending it to me anyway, glad to be reminded of it again. Have a great day!

@@lemon8283 Hm, what about The Fifth Season then? I haven't read it yet, but I've heard good things. Thanks for the recommendation!

I enjoyed The Black Magician series by Trudi Canavan, it's also a magic school - teenager growing in power vibes.

But she talks about every book she reads, right? So we know all the books if we watch all of her videos. Maybe try some other channels with different reading taste?

omg i never reply to comments but i do feel like i have to defend here - i think it would be cool to see a video like you suggested for sure, but also a huge ask from a booktuber because...if she loves a book she's probably already featured it?! and she can only read so many books, which means only recommend so many. i hadn't heard of most of these and actually i think regan's reading tastes are a lot wider than most booktubers atm. i come here for original recommendations. i hope this doesn't sound negative either, just trying to give some perspective

@@p_d16 No, I don’t think she talks about every single book she reads on KZfaq, or at the least doesn’t go in depth or recommend them per se, and that’s okay. I’d just like to see more of those behinds the scenes books. There’s no need to get defensive here when I didn’t insult her or her taste in books. Why assume I’m not happy with her channel?

@@crispsareunderrated There’s nothing to defend. I didn’t insult her nor did I say anything negative about her recommendations. I just pointed out that these almost all of these books have been feature in 2+ previous videos, and it would be cool to see a little more variety. I don’t know why y’all are jumping to a different conclusion.

@@latteatthelibrary I'm not defensive at all, just saying you can get new recommendations from other channels. If you enjoy fantasy maybe watch Holly hearts books 🙂
