The Ghostfaces (Brotherband Chronicles #6) by John Flanagan
The characters are well-fleshed out, unique, and have original personalities that interact excitingly, leaving you keen to know about their latest adventure.
Green Rider (Green Rider #1) by Kristen Britain
That the main character is female gives the story a unique twist, and the adventures she has along the way are fun and thrilling to read.
Age of Myth (The Legends of the First Empire #1) by Michael J. Sullivan
There’s a lot of Thriller-style suspense in Age of Myth, and the characters’ uniqueness makes you want to persist with the book.
Prince of Fools (The Red Queen’s War #1) by Mark Lawrence
Mark Lawrence has always had hype on his side, and now I know why. He writes like no one else, and I mean that quite literally.
Of Darkness and Light (The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill
You can see the vast city walls, forests, snowlands, and country scenery as vividly as if you were watching it on the big screen in 4K.
The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy #1) by Amish Tripathi
Amish Tripathi has created a magnificently crafted historical and mythological fantasy that’s decadent, passionate, wondrous, and full of lore.
Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire #1) by Jay Kristoff
A well-detailed, well-described, and elaborate fantasy setting with dark prose, beautiful and vivid descriptions of characters, and meticulous and immersive world-building.
Black Cross (Black Powder Wars #1) by J.P Ashman
The antiheroes make you root for them! Their gritty, dark deeds blend with their odd but righteous sense of justice.
Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2) by Brandon Sanderson
I can confidently say that the Stormlight Archive’s magic system is the best I’ve ever seen in Fantasy Fiction.
Children of Virtue and Vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha #2) by Tomi Adeyemi
I commend the willingness to use far more original cultural elements than in book one. It gives the book a semblance of originality, which I greatly appreciate
Shorefall (The Founders Trilogy #2) by Robert Jackson Bennett
… the author probably outdid himself this time. His much-lauded magic system is on show here once again, as it was in Foundryside and Divine Cities
The Empire’s Ruin (Ashes of the Unhewn Throne #1) by Brian Staveley
The comradeship and romance in this book were well executed, and I was pleased to see the fight scenes and the magic system well-depicted.
Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky #2) by Rebecca Roanhorse
Like the first book, the writing is fluid and contains meticulously detailed world-building, characterizations, and an extremely gripping plot.
Ship of Destiny (The Liveship Traders #3) by Robin Hobb
Hobb seems to have a knack for giving you endings that absolutely makes you want to scream at the injustice of it all.
The Mad Ship (The Liveship Traders #2) by Robin Hobb
One way or the other, the women in this book, no matter what their situation was, rallied and took control of their damn lives!!
In Times of War
Kuku had successfully brought over the majority of the Assembly to his line of thinking with a combination of articulate arguments and timely assassinations.
The Last Son of Ahriman (Ahriman #1) by Justin Robinson
The Last Son of Ahriman is a very good book, and I’ll be pleased to continue with the dark adventures of Simon Bell and his cohorts.
The Mirror Empire (Worldbreaker Saga #1) by Kameron Hurley
When I pick up books written by women in this genre, this is what I want to see- female characters who are unapologetic in their being.
