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. 📖

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Books with average 4 or more 🌟 ratings and at least 100 points of engagement (reviews & posts) in Pagebound from the Master Fantasy and Romantasy List by readandtellstories.

I can neither confirm nor deny the right for these books to have these ratings. This list will be updated monthly based on outputs from prime list.
