Man my TBR pile is thanking you so hard for this video. I watch a LOT of Booktube and still you managed to recommend books I had never heard of that seem right up my alley. I'd love a Part 2 of this, with even more recommendations like these.

The now out-of-print 'the Stone and the Flute' by Hans Bemmann. Almost fable like. The only real hero is a mouse who speaks to a snake.

I loved the wind on fire trilogy growing up, it felt distinct from anything I have read. Also, I love the earthsea books - lots of typical fantasy tropes, but unique in that they are heavily focused on the growth of the characters rather than winning battles.

Cool video! Totally agree on the Justice of Kings and Legends and Lattes being refreshing changes of pace! Can’t wait to try Jade City, Blackstone Heart, and On Lavender Tides based on this!

Currently on book 5 of the Wheel of Time series. Started with First Spring, which is the prequel novella, and read each one up to it. Also have the next nine, which will be interesting. I think the series is quite interesting since the magic system is split into a male and female half with the male half being tainted. Which means just about every guy who can use it will eventually go insane if not cut off from it. Even though there is a farmboy, actually three of them, each of them so far has had something completely different going for them.

Watching this made me remember The Creature Court trilogy by Tansy Rayner Roberts (Power and Majesty is the first book) about a city that is at war with creatures in the sky, but most of the population have no clue about this. If the city falls then it is erased from peoples memories. Can't describe it any better. Just a fantastic series. Thanks for the book ideas as well!

From Mage to Magi by Gil Martin. A group of Mage's from a university go on a trip to investigate strange events going on at a distant fort. "Not a soul in sight, the voices of the men searching echoing off the frost-bitten stone. Four remain, four... what happened to the souls of Graywatch?" I really liked this one, it is a short story but I was pulled in. I think the author did a good job on the world building, I felt like the story was only a microscopic part of what goes on in the world he created.

I loved The Justice of Kings and am reading bk 2 next month. I thought the premise was pretty unique and liked the crime/mystery mashup. If you like the serial killer in fantasy idea, try Ghosts in the Snow by Tamara Siler Jones. It begins a trilogy that follows a captain of the guard chasing after a serial killer within a castle keep. (Rights may have reverted and she goes by Tambo Jones now.) Another great mashup!

I'm in love with a Fantasy Series called Kingdom Rising by H M Sealey - they're just so weird. I'm just re-reading them now and the later ones are just brilliant. You've got a character who literally creates another world, which is like a sort of sci-fi/fantasy world, but then you have real world governments getting involved. Yet she marries spiritual elements with history, with Arthurian bits. And you don't realise where it's going to go when you read the first three. And you get to follow characters over a forty year period, so you really feel you know them. I cried when I finished the series and went right back and started at book one again.

I feel like Black leopard red wolf is a very unique book, the history is about a gruop that is on the search of a kid however he have a untrusting narrator and each book tells the same history with a different narrator. Also is a fantasy book based on africa with lgbt themes and is very very dark Ps. if you don't like the first book for the misoginy of the narrator, you will like the second one because the one who narrates the history is a different character now
