THIS WAS ACTUALLY SO HARD BECAUSE I LOVE MOST OF THESE BOOKS

ALSOOO i feel like you should start a literal instagram full of OOTD's because your fashion taste makes this world a better place!!

I started reading Robin Hobb because of you 3 years ago. It changed my life. Ive read them very slowly because I knew from pretty early on that this series is something else. I am on the final book, havent yet started because I know I am going to grieve the ending of this series for a long time…. But thank you. Thank you for recommending Robin Hobb. Its one reason that makes life worth living for me. Thank you thank you thank you.

The thing about Ruby Red is that it was written in German... The translation just doesn't do it justice, it takes away from the story. So, I understand why you didn't like it. But if you ask any 25-year-old, this was THE YA series to read in Germany when we were in middle school! It's so popular that they made all three books into movies!

As a new convert to fantasy, I appreciate this video so much for all the information. Even more though I have to say I am so impressed at your recall of 100 series!!! And being able to rank them!!!

Your videos have truly gotten my back into fantasy in a big way!! I would love if you'd make a video about your favorite heist fantasies, one of the best tropes!

Yeah! This is the video I have been looking for. I have just read my very first Fantasy, "Fate Inked in Blood" and was so surprised how much I loved the genre. Your talking about completed series will help me decide which rabbit hole to venture down. Thanks so much! Elizabeth

I just recently found your channel while looking for Legends of the First Empire content and my TBR has already doubled 😂 Great video!!

So many series! Love ranking these and seeing how it changes over time

THANK YOU FOR THE LENGTH OF THIS VIDEO. Are you kidding, this was awesome. I’m gonna rewatch to see if I missed any recommendations

I watched this video this morning and I immediately saved some of your all time faves on my tbr. and then this afternoon I stumbled into my local bookstore when I was on my afternoon walk and ended up buying 'city of brass', which is one of the books that peaked my interest. they have a very limited English collection so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it on the shelf. So it felt like fate so I had to get it haha

Omg, you look stunning in every video, but you are literally glowing here!

I am so impressed by your fast decision making of how to rank all of these series! I could not. 😅

This is exactly why I follow you. I trust your reviews of books. I thought I was going crazy when I would ready "popular" books and then couldn't even finish them because they were so bland and predictable. You were the reason I first started reading RJB and now I'm obsessed. I can safely read whatever you recommend and know I'm about to get into some seriously amazing writing. FYI, Katherine Arden's new standalone just came out and it's *chef's kiss*

I read the Lumatere Chronicles/Finnikin of the Rock series AGES ago because of your recommendation and I loved it!! The second book is my favorite because of the journey Froi goes on. I really think it's quite mature and has more substance than a lot of the YA fantasy I've read (and I've read a lot haha). More people need to be reading and talking about that series!

Wheel of time was meant to be read in the early 2000s when we had very little else. You can't read it now, it doesn't work. Unless you read along with the Everybody Hates Rand podcast, then it's still fun.

THANK YOU for saying that about Falling Kingdoms. I keep seeing it recommended and it bogles my mind tbh

As someone who is reading TOG series for the 1st time rn... i can confirm, im in the middle of the series & its kind of hard for me to get back to it every night where as the first couple books i was reading so fast. But im still intrigued enough to not DNF it

Any specific recommendations for lovers of A River Enchanted? I absolutely loved those two books, especially the island and all of its Nordic-esque magic. But I don’t know where to go from there for other similar fantasy reads.

You’re probably already on your Japan trip. Hope you’re having a wonderful time! I would add to your list The Nsibidi Scripts series (Akata Witch, Warrior and Woman) by Nnedi Okorafor. I’d rank them all as GREAT! Tor has released two of her earlier books, Shadow Speaker and Like Thunder. I enjoyed the first and just getting into the second. You can definitely tell they’re earlier works, but it’s nice to see how her imagination has always worked.

I would love to know what other heist stories you recommend!!! That’s one of the reasons I absolutely loved six of crows when it first came out because I was like a HEIST?!? I hadn’t read one in a fantasy book before!

IM SO EXCITED

Well, you've just added some new fantasy books/authors to my TBR. You don't mention them here, but if you've never read any of the books by Tamora Pierce, I can HIGHLY recommend them. I started reading them in 5th grade (almost 24 years ago, yeesh...) and I still re-read them every year. I firmly believe they hold up to this day. My favorite of her series is the two quartets and the standalones in the Circle of Magic series, but I love everything she writes.

Love that I've shortened by TBR thanks to this video! Happy to cut off "solid 3 star reads with bland writing" lol

Why did you not include the mirror visitor quartet?

This video was so good, it was this kind of recommendation I needed. Have you read "I'm number four"? I loved this collection and I don't know many people who read it.

No Ian Irvine? You’re missing out, his second series (The Well of Echoes Quartet) in the Three Worlds Cycle is especially brilliant… lots to add to my TBR! 😊

Curious about what was fan service in Book 4 of Faithful and the Fallen

I understand where you are coming from in the things you liked and didn’t like but a sorcery of thorns and these violent delights where one of my absolute favorite books ever and five star for me! People have different tastes so it’s ok that you didn’t like them.

I knew we had very different reading tastes but this just put that in perspective 😂

the magician's nephew is my favorite too!

Where would you put shadow of the fox?

“This is bad… and also just bad” made me howl 😂

"Finnikin of the Rock" by Melina Marchetta truely an amazing series to check out...❤❤ Such heartfelt characters, amazing storyline!❤ A Very underrated series..

The Magician’s Nephew is my favorite too! 💚💛

I feel like heist theme needs it's own video!

Could A Spear That Cut Through Water be an interesting audiobook read iyo ? I always find it hard to choose between the 2 formats...

Currently rereading the Percy Jackson series and I just finished the Battle of the Labrynth.... I remembered that one being my favorite and it's STILL SOOOO GOOD. Loving it all over again

Okay a bit unrelated… but this hair color suits you soo much. Also I feel it gives you a strong Emma Stone resemblance 🤭🤭

Out of curiosity, have you read anything by Garth Nix? I feel like The Old Kingdom series would be something up your alley.

I loooooved ruby read and i read it when I was almost 20. My sister in law also loved it and she read it at 21. So if it sounds good to you. Give it a try.

I'm probably the only person who liked the Frugal Wizard's Handbook. I relate to the feelings of failure of the main character experiences, and I feel like he's very relatable. Maybe it's telling that the people who don't like the book have their lives together. And people like me who don't have direction are the ones who like it. I thought the illustrations and bits of Handbook were hilarious. I love anything to do with parallel universes. And the end of the book and the characters' fates gives me hope for myself that maybe I can figure out what I'm meant for too someday. And maybe I'm good enough the way I am and I don't need to seek perfection. And at the end of the day, I can compare myself to a fictional character who really messes things up with his life and say, "Well at least the decisions I made are better than that!" haha

Definitely re read shadow and bone. Its not going to blow your mind but its worth enjoying

The Magicians Nephew was my favorite toooooooooo

First time watching one of your videos and you rank PJO at S tier - I immediately trust you

You should check out The Mummy and The Mayfair Witch trilogy by Anne Rice. Pretty sure you would like The Mummy.

Finnikin of the Rock trilogy is EVERYTHING 😭❤️ Froi and Quintana >>>

soft DNFed around book 6 of wheel of time. it's something i'll likely finish but some series once i pause them it's gonna be a while before i come back

Hearing your thoughts on the wheel of time and knowing what you like about Robin Hobb’s work I couldn’t help but think you’d love a song of ice and fire (don’t know if your already said you won’t read it, so sorry if you have). It’s got great pacing, a truly absorbing world, is very well written and the characters are some of the best in fiction. I think you would enjoy. Could not be more unlike wheel of time if it tried I think 😂

NEVER apologise for the length of the video, I love long videos haha

DNF for Nevernight?! I feel attacked! lol I LOVED that book

Okay. You won me over the second you said DNF for Wheel of Time! Couldnt get past the first 10 chapters

No, no, no, no about For the Wolf!!! This book just drove me to want more, more more fantasy. :-) If you find it bad, I guess I am in for some real treats , as I have a ton of the ones you rate, but haven't read yet. ;-) .

As a Cassandra Clare stan, I wouldn't recommend mortal instruments. Just catch a recap jump into one of the other series.

I always feel a pinch when people say Ruby Red is bad, because as a german teen I loved it when I read it for the first time and it was one of my absolute favorite books, hahaha. Of course it's not perfect, but I just love almost everything that author puts out, just a comfort author for me.

Someone said it about One Dark Window....it was blah. I think I rated it based on other people's opinions not my own.

I liked Harry Dresden the best right now.

Can never recommend The Girl of Fire and Thorns enough! especially if you are looking for a female main character that has to work hard to complete her quest, isn't stereotypically "pretty", and has genuine friendships with those around her!

I love ruby red :(

Unfortunate Events is fantasy? I don’t remember any fantasy in it

If you like Six of Crows, definitely check out Lies of Locke Lamora (the Gentleman Bastards series) by Scott Lynch! I am nearing the finish on it and its sooo good. I feel like there are a lot of things that were taken nearly directly from it in Six of Crows, but thankfully Bardugo does, over the Six of Crows duology, become her own work with less direct inspiration from Gentleman Bastards. I love both, but I think Scott Lynch's work is superior. Just be prepared for the feels. Much like Robin Hobb's books rip your heart out, Scott Lynch is often cited similarly when people talk about this series.

You didn't rank the Harry Potter series?

You might like Inkheart.... all I'm going to say.

Finnikin is so good.

not me bein so bored and done with shadowhunter books that im unhauling all of em xD idk the last hours trilogy books were just soooo long and its just always the same thing i hate that the characters keep things from each other which leads to drama..and the romance wasnt even that big and the plot too. idk i wanted to finish it to know how it ends and at least have it as read but honestly my least fav trilogy she has so far ngl. i do wanna read wicked powers trilogy when it comes out. im reading a curse so dark and lonely rn and im enjoying it but yeah agree is nothin special. i feel like im also still pretty new to fantasy and ive only really read YA fantasy. love acotar and tog series and crescent city. i like that its has plot and romance in em. and i dont like just romance and smut and no plot. i think im also very much into fae and vampire fantasy books rn ngl, also love the cruel prince series. i think we ve different taste in fantasy i think bc uve read a lotttt more fantasy so uve read wayy better books which makes sense too. i read the grishaverse books yearsss ago and tried readin king of scars but honestly dnfed half way bc im just not invested in the world anymore even tho still wanna know how it ends but have other series i wanna read , plus king of scars duology books are long i think i shouldve read it back when i read the other grishaverse series to enjoy it

Girl how do you have Queen of the Tearling in great while Cruel Prince in okay while complaining about the ending? (I’ve never read Cruel Prince) Queen of the Tearling had such a bad ending it ruined the whole series for me, and I LOVED the first and second book 😭

No Ilona Andrews? I guess they're Urban Fantasy.

I thank you. My wallet does not. 🤣

I finished Wheel of Time because my buddy reader pulled me through but honestly it pretty much sucked. I know that’s sinful to say in the fantasy community but this series would be at the very very bottom of the series I’ve read. If not dead last it would be very close.

You mean you dont like reading about the gold and silver strands woven into the wall hangings around the room, depicting great battles won by "insert monarch here."

I actually liked Daughter of Smoke and Bone more than Strange the Dreamer

Throne of Glass in good is a crime 🐳

So from this video I came to know that you haven't read Harry Potter series or do I miss it ?

spinning silver is NOT russian folklore!!

Can you Tier rank women Reddit subs?
