Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. In honor of Wyrd & Wonder 2024 (a month long celebration of all things fantasy co-hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More, Ariana @ The Book Nook, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Jorie @ Jorie Loves A Story (artwork by Ehtisham Sajid), my post has a fantasy flavor. This week I'm featuring Favorite Fantasy Books I've Read Since Last May. Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title:
The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi (Amina Al-Sirafi #1) by Shannon Chakraborty - I can't recommend this enough, especially the audiobook production which is brilliant.
Bookshops & Bonedust (Legends & Lattes #0) by Travis Baldree - This prequel was just nice and I very much appreciated just how bookish it was.
Before the Devil Knows You're Here by Autumn Krause - I didn't know how much I needed this dark fantasy folk horror novel but it was outstanding. Plus, I've never seen Johnny Appleseed in a featured in a book quite like this. If you like Maggie Stiefvater, you need to try this.
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White - I love historical fantasy especially with tinges of horror and this Frankenstein retelling was perfect.
The Fragile Threads of Power (Threads of Power #1) by V.E. Schwab - I just loved seeing Kell, Lila, Rhy, and Alucard again!
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher - If you're at all a fan of horror fantasy, you have to read this.
Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good (Loki: A Bad God's Guide #1) by Louie Stowell - This was just delightful and Ben Willbond has a great voice for the audiobook. I can't wait to listen to the rest of this MG series.
The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos #1) by Samantha Shannon - The world-building and the cast of characters in this are amazing.
Have you read any of these books? What are some of your recent favorite fantasy books? Are you taking part in Wyrd & Wonder this year? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Even though they are all fantasy I can tell by the covers that they are all very different books. Fun!

DeleteBefore the Devil Knows You're Here cover reminds me of Hozier's cover, Unreal Unearth. And I think that Hozier and that book fit together
ReplyDeleteI 100% thought the exact same thing when I first saw it. :)

ReplyDeleteIt's so cool. I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI've been eyeing To Shape a Dragon's Breath for a while, so glad it blew you away.
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it as much as I did when you get to it.
DeleteThe Hollow Places is so good!! I loved it too, and I wouldn't even say I'm a big horror fan.
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteNice list. I have The Hollow Places on my tbr.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy it when you get there.
DeleteGreat list! I haven't read any of these, but a few were already on my TBR, and now I had to add a few more to my overflowing list because a few more of these just sounded too good to miss out on. Before the Devil Knows You're Here caught my attention, specifically, along with The Hollow Places.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy them whenever you get around to them. :)
DeleteI really enjoyed To Shape a Dragon's Breath when I read it last year. I still have to read Bookshops and Bonedust. Hopefully sometime this year.
