A list for people who don't want to be left waiting for the next book release.
Includes: First books in completed series, standalones, interconnected standalones*
Subgenres: Fantasy-first books with a romance subplot - some of these romances are very slow burn or don't appear till later in the series

Please let me know if you have suggestions or disagree with any of these! I have researched these all briefly but haven't read them all yet.
This list combines completed series with standalones, but if you want a list of just standalone fantasy books, there is another great list by Hannah called "One and Done Fantasy"
*The Priory of the Orange Tree can be read as a standalone but has a prequel book that is set well before it.
