    Looking for a fantasy book for people who aren’t typically into fantasy books? Like a starter fantasy book, not too “out there” or anything.

    1. Look at Charles De Lint . He wrote a lot of stories close to the traditional fantasy and fairy tales of Celtic tradition.

    2. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. Cozy fantasy. I’m not a big fan of traditional fantasy, but I loved this one.

    3. Veridical_Perception on

      * Charlie Jane Anders: All the Birds in the Sky
      * Scott Hawkins: The Library at Mount Char
      * RF Kuang: Babel
      * Neil Gaiman: American Gods
      * Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone: This Is How You Lose the Time War

    4. I never read fantasy and House in the Cerulean Sea was my first foray into the genre. Absolutely loved it. It’s more of a cozy fantasy but well worth the read.

    5. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
      The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston (more magical realism than fantasy)
