Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is 21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics (submitted by Lisa of Hopewell). I decided to narrow it down to fantasy novels. Without further ado, here we go by title:
An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors (The Risen Kingdoms #1) by Curtis Craddock
The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy #1) by S.A. Chakraborty
A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V.E. Schwab
Foundryside (The Founders Trilogy #1) by Robert Jackson Bennett
The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
Jade City (The Green Bone Saga #1) by Fonda Lee
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard #1) by Scott Lynch
Senlin Ascends (The Books of Babel #1) by Jonah Bancroft
Trail of Lightning (The Sixth World #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse
Have you read any of these books? Do you think they should become classics in the future, or are already well on their way there? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
The House on the Cerulean Sea has been a very popular choice this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. :)
DeleteAgreed with The House in the Cerulean Sea. Here is my post-https://paigesofnovels.wordpress.com/2022/03/29/top-ten-tuesday-21st-century-books-i-think-will-become-classics/.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
DeleteA Darker Shade of Magic is one of my favourite ever books (and VE Schwab a favourite author of mine) so pleased to see that here. I also really enjoyed The City of Brass, I'm currently listening to The River of Silver, an audiobook of short stories set in the Daevabad world.

Schwab has quickly become an all time favorite. I'm going to have to check out those short stories.
DeleteI'm not much for fantasy, so I've only read one of these. It's been a LONG time since I've read JONATHAN STRANGE that I actually can't remember what it's about. Curse my ancient memory! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

DeleteI've seen Jade City on a couple of lists today, and I love seeing Senlin Ascends. Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy!
DeleteI can totally see A Darker Shade of Magic and Jade City becoming classics. Both have such stellar world building!
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteI love the Shades of Magic series! It would be cool if people were still reading it in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt really would be. :)
