So pleased to see how much you loved Robin Hobb's books, Regan. I thought Liveship Traders would've become Hobb's best series, but that changed when I read the last trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings... Take your time, and I'm sure you'll love it when you get to it!

The Daevabad Trilogy is also my best books of the year! Checked all the boxes for me, I just loved it. Also on my list is the Shadow of the Fox trilogy. In the best ways the first book reminded me of how I feel when I read the Hobbit, and the third book is the perfect conclusion to a grand adventure. It doesn’t have holistic character depth my all time favorites have, but I adored this series.

My favorite series this year was The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabos. It's a YA (maybe New Adult though?) fantasy series with 3 of the 4 books out in English (originally French) and it's hard to even explain what captivates me about it. It's definitely a character driven story that's not for everyone, and book 3 changes its setting making it, again, not for everyone. But like, the main character Ophelia is literally me, and that is sooo rare for me in any sort of media, I always end up contemplating myself and how I act/am perceived when I read this series. If you make it through the first book and don't absolutely love it then I wouldn't continue on since even if you like book 2, you have to love Ophelia to really enjoy book 3 I feel.
