Best Fantasy Books For Newcomer to Adult Fantasy!
Hi, y'all! Out of all the books I've read, these are the top 20 books that I think would have a chance of working wonderfully as a gateway to adult fantasy. I worked so hard to create this video, and I hope you'll enjoy it or find it beneficial! 😄
Two additional things to note about this list:
1. All of the books mentioned takes place in a secondary/fictional world.
2. There are still other books that deserves to be on this list, but I personally analyze that some elements in them (like difficult vocabulary, dense prose/world-building, or more than five POV characters) could end up pushing a complete newcomer away from the genre, and I don't want that to happen. 😁
Also, if you hear some noise in the video, there was a storm when I recorded the video, and I'm too tired to re-record! 😅
Have a lovely day, and stay safe! :)
