Recs if you like Theft of Swords...

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. 📖

For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again ❤️

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.

Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.

fantasy that features stories and characters from criminal underworlds. think rival syndicates, gang leaders, thieving crews and elaborate heists, shadowy assassins, illicit dealings, and more.

The top 100 fantasy novels according to the r/fantasy list as voted on by the community - this includes series (represented by the first book in the series) and standalones.

The list is in order with Middle Earth ( represented by Lord of the rings) being number 1 going down to the 100th.

(Note: Mistborn is position 8 while Cosmere is position 35 - as Mistborn is within the Cosmere I lumped it in with the 35th position so it is lower down than on the original list)

Epic journey's with dragons, sorrow, magic, and besties mixed in with a lil romance and well placed humor

fantasy series that feature iconic duos or characters that complement one another and are a well-known pairing in their world.

All the books of Elan.

30 of the best epic high fantasy books with the highest stakes, featuring richly detailed worlds, intricate magic systems, and immersive storytelling.

As the name suggests this list is for my beloved fantasy thieves and criminals, lying, cheating, charming, their way out of situations. Yet we root for them, we love them.

Aka my favourite fantasy subgenre where we get both magic and intricate plannings to pull off something previously thought impossible (usually a break-in of some kind) and often everything then turns out to be much more complicated than previously thought

(For series I only included the first book of each)

All good things come in 3s

Who doesn't love a good heist? Now what if there was magic? Or pirates? Or knights and kings? In this list you'll find stories set in fantastical worlds that feature or revolve around a heist. Also includes the occasional conmanship or mission that might not technically be a heist but has a very similar feeling. Recs and feedback always welcome <3
