I’ve always loved the fantasy genre (shows, games, etc), but I’ve only recently gotten into reading. What are some must-reads fantasy novels or series?
I’m pretty sure the only major one I’ve read is the LoTR trilogy
Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, and the rest of the interconnected Cosmere universe
The First Law trilogy
Dresden Files
Rivers of London
Dungeon Crawler Carl (I cannot rec this strongly enough)
Six of Crows duology
Discworld (haven’t done the whole thing but enjoyed what I’ve read)
Lies of Locke Lemora (only read the first one but I dug it)
The Name of the Wind (enjoyable, def has its issues but I enjoyed it. Haven’t read the second and don’t expect the series to ever be finished so take that i to consideration)
The Tainted Cup
Legends and Lattes (cozy, SUPER low stakes, loved it)
Uh…I’ll edit if/when I think of more

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Trilogy, and his Age of Madness Trilogy. They are adult, grimdark fantasies with some fantastic characters (in my opinion).
