You should do a video suggesting books for long-time fantasy readers, like myself.

my favorite genre is crossworld fantasy. like harry potter, narnia, miss peregrines, etc. it starts with a main character in our world, and then they cross over into a fantasy world.

lol can we get a fantasy expert recommendations too?

SIX OF CROWS

This video is perfect! I'm trying to get into it but have had a couple of failed attempts... I have a few serious health things going on and struggle with memory etc., so this video is very welcome! I recently started my channel and its making me push my boundaries - which is amazing! I am quite socially isolated so books are my world. They engulf me, so I am excited to be taken to a fantasy world for a while. Thank you so so much xx

I can not recommend Six of Crows enough, I loved that book! Name of the Wind is also a really good one as well!

I think that Graceling, Uprooted and Poison Study are also really good books for people who are new to fantasy because they're all so fast paced and the fantasy worlds aren't too hard to get into 😀

I LOVE Fablehaven! Good to know some booktubers out there love it, I feel like it's so underrated.

SIX OF CROWS I need to read that so bad!!!!

Oh I'm so glad you made this video! Your reviews of books are already perfect so having this video as a guide is just so wonderful!! And now I finally know what urban fantasy is. :)

Reagan I just finished shatter me and I loved it. I'm going to start the second book soon.

I'm scared to start reading Name of the Wind only because I've only heard so many freaking good things about it and I'm sure i'm gonna love it and then have to wait years for the 3rd book.....

i think the Grisha trilogy is a pretty good place to start as well, and i'd recommend reading that before the Six of Crows duology. Also, the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. I read that series when i was in primary school and i loved it back then! awesome video Regan, i'm so glad i can always refer to your channel whenever i need fantasy recs!

The Skulduggery Pleasant series !! The first book is about a young girl whose uncle is murdered by sorcerers, so she teams up with her uncle's best friend (who is a reanimated skeleton) in order to track down the people who did it. Then as the series goes on you see her grow up as part of the world of magic. It's an amazing series and I highly recommend it !!!

I'm definitely not a beginner fantasy reader, and it's my favorite genre to read. But I love your fantasy recommendations and I love discussing the genre, so here I am. 😂

Love all the things here!! Great recommends outside of the more popular fantasy reads.

I thought I was a fantasy beginner but I guess i'm not since I have read almost all of these! Great recommendations! So many of these books are definitely great places to start in fantasy

Absolutely LOVED your video, Regan! I could feel how much you love fantasy and that motivation is great to see in recommendations ;)

Name of the Wind is a great recommendation! It is one of my all-time favorite books. The story is very character-driven and you experience the world through his eyes. So there's not a lot of info dumping or too many characters to wrap your head around. It's long, but it's so so engaging. Once I started, I could NOT put it down. Highly recommend it to any reader.

I was just thinking about starting to pick up some fantasy and you made this video just in time !! :D

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Just started Six of Crows and now have a nice fat TBR! Thank you!

I love fantasy and I've already read all Sarah J. Maas's and Cassandra Clare's books plus the HP-series, but I also read many other fantasy books, but I'm seriously only about half way through The Name of the Wind, but it's amazing... nothing can compares! I highly recommend it 😍 oh, and I of course also recommend Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom - soooo goooood

I still need to get to plenty of these! Fantasy is my favorite genre as well. It's so vast that it is a bit intimidating.

I love how you mentioned more unknown books but also mentioned the bigger titles and not toss them aside. Great video overal!

I really love the idea of this video! Even as someone who reads mainly fantasy, I found I hadn't read some of these stories, like the Warrior Heir. That's definitely one series I'm going to be checking out and buying right away.

I love your top! I totally agree with Carry On. It's a great gateway novel to fantasy.

I really want to read The Name of the Wind soon. You've been raving about it for so long and I've heard amazing things about it... so I need to go get it asap!

Thank you! I am a so excited to start my fantasy journey! I have always loved fantasy but my genre is psychological thrillers.. i get overwhelmed when choosing fantasy. This is so exciting! I will be diving into these! 😍

I started reading fantasy with The Kiss of Deception, very happy that you mentioned because it really made me fall in love with the genre.

This guide was awesome! Its very interesting and although I am a fantasy fan myself I discovered stuff too! Thanks:)

I was waiting for a video like this. This is very helpful

Seriously, all my TBR books are all your recommendations! They are all sooo good!!!!

Great recommendations! I would definitely recommend a lot of the books you mentioned in this video as well. :)

you and emma (emmmabooks) are probably one of the only booktubers i trust when it comes to fantasy... AND I APPRECIATE SO MUCH THAT YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE THE MAINSTREAM FANTASY BOOKS.. SIX OF CROWS and CROOKED KINGDOM are one of the best fantasy books i've ever read, it's also full of humor.. i bought the first 2 books of "the falling kingdom" because of you, hopefully i'll enjoy them as much as you did!

I'm glad you enjoyed The Name of the Wind so much. I just finished listening to it for the 3rd or 4th time. What I think is really interesting is that it's this legendary "hero" story that's mostly told in 1st person. Also, the magic in the story is told with such a scientific vibe to it is seems much more believable. Thanks for the video!

Every time I watch your videos I already know I'm going to leave with something in my Amazon cart and this video is NO exception! Love your recommendations!

So many of these are on my tbr! :) fantasy is the best!!

Great job with this video! I started out reading Alanna by Tamora Pierce, and that kind of started my love for fantasy. I've read all except Kiss of Deception and The Warrior Heir.

YA Fantasy and fairy tale retellings are my favorite genres! I just read Kiss of Deception in May and I'm so excited to continue the series this month!

Yaaaaaaaas! Name of the wind is one of my favourite books of all time👌🏼

I'm currently reading empire of storms from tog series and it's better then the last book and I have to say most of those you mentioned I have but have yet to read. I don't have a lot of time but I can't wait to get into all of them. You explained things so well. 😊

I've had my eye on The Name of the Wind for a while now. It's been sitting on my shelf but yes I do feel intimidated by it and sadden that it takes a while for the next book in the series to be released. But I will read this book soon! Your recommendations are awesome 😍😍😍

What a wonderful list! I loved the Fablehaven series when I was younger, we definitely have a very similar taste in books :)

I was waiting for The Name of the Wind!! It was my first fantasy book this year and it was FANTASTIC. I'm 1/4 through the second one. Love it.

Great video. You spoke so eloquently about each book.

Love this video! Thank you for the recommendations!

Fun videos! Thank you for these enthusiastic talks! # greattalent

Yes The Name of the Wind got me into adult fantasy! It's an incredible book and I'm now on book #3 of A Song Of Ice and Fire as it's got me in the fantasy mood. I also LOVED the Six of Crows duology. Great recommendations!

Fantasy is one of my favorite genres, too. Love that you put this together! Since I know you love fantasy, would you consider doing something like a "pro-level" fantasy recommendations video? Kind of like the reverse of this one for those of us who've been infected by the fantasy bug and just want more good fantasy.

Awesome video and recommendations!

Your top really suited you it's so nice!!

this is a brilliant video Regan

Tamora Pierce is also a great beginner fantasy author! I would recommend starting with her series Song of the Lioness, it only has 4 books and they’re pretty short! She’s a fantastic author ❤️

it's been 2 minutes since she uploaded.. and it's 11:35 here.. I am so....very keen

Fantastic recommendations! LOVE Laini Taylor's books.

I love Name of the Wind! I have the second book on my Nook to read this summer.

“Six of Crows” This book keeps popping up in pretty much every book recommendation video.Now I have to but it.

This is a great video. I do already read fantasy but I'm kinda new to book tube and some fantasy is still intimidating. I own every one that you talk about but still haven't read them. 😂 I have read kiss if deception. I read the first raven boys. Im going to start throne of glass soon. I love the ember in the ashes series and I'm caught up in that one. I love this video because it helped me prioritize my fantasy series'.

Hi! Great video, as always! I think that Holly Black's urban fantasy trilogy (Tithe, Valiant and Ironside) is also a very good place to start. The books are very fast paced, the characters are very relatable (even the good guys are flawed) and the magical element to our world is "fairies" and it's really cool to see how the old tales and folklore regarding fairies get mixed with the modern world and all of its implications.. The novels also deal with various themes (romance, friendship, politics, social outcasts) so I feel like there's a little bit for every taste. Love from Italy, bye!

searched for this kind of recommendation from so long. loved ur pick ups.

Hey, great video, some good recommendations here :-) Some more recommendations of adult fantasy would be great, maybe you could do a video for more seasoned fantasy readers? There is so much YA fantasy out there (not that this is a bad thing) but adult fantasy I feel gets swept under the rug and I am always looking to see more recommendations for adult fantasy on booktube.

Yay! You uploaded on my birthday😊🎉

I actually have a heavy adult high fantasy to read... I will power through it on my 2 24 hour flights I have this month. Wish me luck!

Definitely NEEDED this Thank you Regan❤️❤️❤️

I am in the middle of the Age of Legends trilogy by Kelley Armstrong and I came across it on a whim and LOVE IT. I'm definitely not new to fantasy, but this series is so well done in my opinion. You follow the perspectives of twin sisters in a fantastical asian inspired setting. There are politics, war, love, betrayal, and animal side kicks! I highky recommend it!!

100% agree with all, and i need to read most of those too. BUT THE NAME OF THE WIND IS SOOO GOOOODDDD!! I was super intimidated to read it, but it was WAY TOO GOOD!

yes please make a part 2!😊

No Brandon Sanderson? Much shame. Sanderson is a great place to start, especially if you want to dip your toe into adult fantasy. Mistborn is a great series to start because it's very YA but it's adult (for honestly really silly reasons). If you're intimidated by a six book series then Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson is a (kind of) standalone and it's also a great place to start. If you're still worried about the adult label then Rithmatist is a great YA book by him and the second book should be coming out in a year or two.

Thank you for this video as it was very informative and it has helped me learn more about fantasy books besides Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Also, I am between Fablehaven, The Warrior Heir and ACOTAR in choosing my next book. What category would you categorise The Immortal Life of Nicholas Flamel series?

I loved The Falling Kingdom books....awesome!!

This is a pretty awesome video, definitely interested in the fablehaven ones. But would you consider The School For Good And Evil series a good place to start? Saw the whole series at a good price and am kinda tempted to get it. Lol

I'm so glad Fablehaven is on here, I love that series so much

Thank you for this list!

Can you do an Epic/High Fantasy guide as well? I always see you RAVE about the Light Bringer and the King Killer Chronicles series and I actually bought them because I want to read them but I am so intimidated.

Beauty with Brain .Great Suggestions . Thank You Very Much Mam.

I can't help but LOLing at the snoring in the back ground - which I'm assuming is your dog lolol but great recommendations!

Informative and helpful!

Fab video reminding me what got me into fantasy. Have you read crown duel and summers at castle auburn. Loved them growing up and so beautifully written

And I read The Name of the Wind a couple months ago, because you recommended it actually, and loved it, but waiting a little bit before I read A Wise Man's Fear.

Six of Crows has 5 perspectives, not 6 :) we don't get Wylan's pov until Crooked Kingdom!

I love your videos so much !😄😄💙

I'm not new to fantasy but I really need to read Six of Crows! It seems like a fantastic series! :D

Love all those! Also poison study by Maria Snyder 😊

kiss of deception is the book that got me on board with YA fantasy and now it's my favorite genre. I totally agree it's the perfect series to start with

I just love it when Raegan talks about fantasy books. She's like the queen of fantasy and it always adds to my TBR list to watch one of her videos. Oh well 😂

His Fair Assassin is a great series as well, especially if you love kick-ass heroines. It's easy to follow but kept me hooked.

I think it's very interesting how you didn't bother including the obvious ones, but still mentioned them. I gave them the attention they deserve, but it made it It stand out comparing to other similar videos I saw. It caught my attention and made me even more curious to watch. I was all ready to see Harry Potter be #1 lol And "Carry On" was a genius suggestion for being in between genres. Great job! I like Miss Peregrine Home for Peculiar Chidren, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Chronicles of Narnia, Insomnia, Beautiful Creatures, Vampirates, Goosebumps, peter Pan, The Thief Lord, Inkheart...

if you make a part two, can you make it's main focus adult fantasy? I'm excited to read name of the wind, but I would love even more recommendations!

Could you follow this vid up with Intermediate Fantasy Reads Recommendations? That'd be great.

Hi, I have not read a fantasy book but would like to start. Is there one that is written in very simple English - adult or YA - that you can recommend which has war and politics as well and not too complex magic systems? Fast paced too without too much of unnecessary descriptions and characters buildings. Thanks

you make incredible videos, make me wanna read more.. luv u😊

I would recommend the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage. It's seven books and they follow Septimus and his family as he becomes a wizard apprentice. It's a fun series and one of my favorites.

I started in fantasy with a book called The Last Stormlord. It's a multiperspective trilogy about a kingdom that revolves around water. They have a "king" that brings them storms and therefore water. This is normally a job for six or seven people but they only have one left and he is dying. It follows many people but the two main characters are Shale/Jasper and Terelle. Shale has powers that could lead him to be the next Stormlord/"king" but there is a greedy prince who wants the throne for himself. Terelle is a girl who was sold to a whorehouse at a young age and wonders what her place in life is. Thier paths cross and they learn a lot from each other directly before a war breaks out. This trilogy is by Glenda Larke and I'm so glad I started with this book. It's amazing!!!

1:56 - Speaking of Rainbow Rowell, it was interesting to hear that she will be writing a new Runaways on-going series for Marvel, having never read any of her books, and only hearing her name come up multiple times among BookTubers.

This is really good Fantasy is my favourite genre to as well as childrens! :)

YAAAS exactly what I need it !!!

If you like history and also love stories, the wrath & the dawn duology is SUPER good! It's a fantasy story set in the ancient Middle East and involves a cursed kingdom and a feisty girl and it's just super perfect. It's jam-packed, easy to follow, not too long and the characters are beautiful

LOVED THIS! :D

there was a bit of an emotional build up for me when you were leading up to your last rec for adult fantasy...I love Kvothe! I need to read Kiss of Deception and Fallen Kingdom soon!

I so agree about Patrick Rothfuss - This is my favourite book of ALL TIME
