This Year's Most Popular New Fantasy Novels
If your love of fantasy novels is limited to J.R.R. Tolkien or George R.R. Martin, it's far past time to expand your reading beyond those who use R.R. as middle initials! Luckily, this year's crop of fantasy novels offers many portals into fantastic new tales.
If you want an addictive retelling, check out these new takes on the fable of the minotaur or The Great Gatsby. Perhaps you'd like to travel to a world where magic is everywhere and food is fate? Or perhaps you'd really like to get lost in the start of a new high fantasy series? Then check out the first books in a new series with The Blacktongue Thief, The Unbroken, A Master of Djinn, Son of the Storm, or The Jasmine Throne (among many more below!).
Among Goodreads' 125 million members, these are the most popular new fantasy novels published so far this year. What do we mean by popular? These novels have garnered both the most Want to Read adds and the most reviews on the site.
Scroll over the covers below to learn more about each book, and be sure to add the books that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf!

I love Nora Roberts trilogies, and I just checked a new one out of the library. The Awakening is book one in The Dragon Heart Legacy.

Okay.I just "to-read"ed Ariadne, The Chosen and the Beautiful, and Son of The Storm. Hope they're good!!
Helene Wecker's The Golem and the Djinni was wonderful, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel that's on this list. The same goes for Katherine Addison's Witness for the Dead which is set in the world of The Goblin Emperor which was an excellent book.
PIRANESI by Susanna Clark . Couldn't resist buying that one .
HeadspaceI recently read Headspace by J.D. Edwin! It was an amazing read, and I think it definitely belongs on this list!
The Saga of the Chyrons by Vanessa L Ehmann. Epic fantasy and a great summer holiday read! Heartbreaking family saga, really bad baddies, Goodies with human failings, Dragons. Sorcerers, evil relics, telepathy. love interest, betrayal,climate change and much more. What else could you want?www.thechyrons.com
Master of Djinn is absolutely amazing, but everything by P. Djeli Clark is. I'm just so glad that this is a full length novel. Highly recommend!
Since there's no real summer reading challenge this year, I'm gonna make this list my summer reading challenge XD (Hey, for me, it's also market research :P) Good thing I have a camping trip and vacation coming up, as my day-to-day doesn't include nearly enough reading time!
