Recs if you like The Dragonbone Chair...

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. 📖

Chill-fueled journeys through frostbitten kingdoms, forbidden wards, and legends carved in ice. Perfect for readers craving grand myths wrapped in winter magic.

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Non-exhaustive list of foundational reading for the fantasy genre; either foundational texts or classics that influenced the development of the genre and its conventions. Also some key modern texts + criticism.

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for The Broken Binding Sub. ◽️ Not Including special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books as they are announced!

This is a not quite exhaustive list of notable fantasy works from the Tolkien era to pretty much today. In the case of series I have only included the first book. I know there are books I am missing so if you can see any let me know and I will add them. (Not necessarily in order of release date)

“Vintage” fantasy books: hidden, well-loved treasures often discovered in places like garage sales or your local thrift store 📚

Almost ever fantasy book ever * has a stinking sword on its cover, yes swords are an awesome and cool weapons but some times it’s just way to much. List has no specifically strict genres restrictions so if you wanna make a rec that’s not a set fantasy novel it’s fine.
⚠️LIST UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️

Before romantasy took over our bookshelves, there were wizards, warriors, cursed kingdoms, and enough questionable decisions to fill a thousand-page epic. I’m going back to the roots of fantasy, exploring the authors and stories that helped shape the genre we know today. From ancient magic and sword-and-sorcery adventures to sprawling epic fantasies, I’m here for all of it. Dragons are encouraged. Morally questionable wizards are practically required.

A lot of classic fantasy features a farmboy—who might be more than he seems—going on an adventure and discovering the wide world beyond his agrarian sensibilities. While this list is called “farmboy,” I’m open to farm people of all genders. For series, only the first book is listed. As always, open to recs!

From Osten Ard to Otherland an beyond

Books that can be read on archive.org for free that look interesting - go and search up your tbr, this is only what I want to read so in no way a comprehensive list ☺️🌸 If you see this list after clicking on a book, you’ll know it’s available on archive.org Disclaimer: Some books are so hard to get tho because they are constantly borrowed

They do not hide in the corners of our maps anymore. In these worlds, the giants are the map. They are the architects of the high mountain passes, the smiths of the unbreakable blades, and the warriors whose footfalls are indistinguishable from thunder. They have their own kings, their own grudges, and a memory that spans centuries. When they walk, the foundations of our empires tremble. We call them Earth-Shakers.

It's so epic!
