Hi everyone! In today's video, I will be giving book recommendations based on one of my favorite tropes or settings in fantasy: magical academy or battle school. The magical school trope or setting is one of the most popular tropes in the fantasy genre for many good reasons. And yes, it is one of my top favorite topes, too. If a fantasy book has a magical school setting, it is very likely it will at least get my attention. There will be a total of 7 book recommendations in today's video. They are all my favorites, but with the exception of the shared number 1 spot, there is no ranking on this list. Let me know what you think about my list. Do you love the magical school setting? Which books with this trope are your favorites?
