Recs if you like The Emperor's Blades (Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, #1)...

I've noticed most fantasy lists are saturated with YA and romantasy books, but some of us crave adult high-stakes adventures. If you enjoy epic stakes, deep characters, and majestic world-building (without the distraction of romance) this list is for you. For series, I've only added the first book. 📖

Secret plots, political moves, and pursuits of power all within imperial, royal, or noble courts. Feedback and recs welcome!

If you tell me it's political fantasy, I don't need to hear more, thank you

(I might add a few historical fiction as well if it's heavily political -in my opinion, or if it's recommended as such)

Mostly fantasy series not well known, with a few from other genres mixed in.

Epic medieval fantasy worlds you can get lost in (but you probably wouldn't, because there is a map)!

A collection of different series that I enjoyed and would recommend to my friends 🫶🏻 spanning different genres and age groups ☆ only the first book is included ☆
