Fantasy Reading List 2022
I'm building my fantasy reading list for this year
![]() Picked up this fantasy book a few days ago, Curse Entwined, after I saw it floating around Instagram. I haven't been disappointed yet, but I'm only about 5 chapters in. I hope to finish it within another week or so and move on to another great fantasy read. Last year I wasn't able to read as much as I wanted so I'm hoping I can accomplish more this year ![]() |

What sort of fantasy do you want to read?
My usual suggestions (apologies to folks seeing these again): - Susan Cooper _The Dark is Rising_ --- a wonderful set of books which arguably inaugurated urban fantasy, and while marketed to young adults, have a mature moral compass which makes the world a better place when folks read them - John Steinbeck's sadly unfinished _The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights_ --- a wonderful translation even incompleat - Jack Vance's _Lyonesse_ Trilogy --- his masterwork of high fantasy - Poul Anderson's _The Broken Sword_ --- brutal historic fantasy |

I see Curse Entwined takes place at a school, so maybe you'd like other fantasy books with a similar setting? A couple suggestions:
"In Other Lands" by Sarah Rees Brennan. A portal fantasy where a kid from our world is invited to a school in the magical Borderlands. Quote:

I just recently read the Lyonesse Trilogy. I enjoyed it a lot.

I think it will be appropriate to recommend this fanatasy site here.
Be warned it can be expensive because there are many temptations ![]() |
