⋆. &#x1065a; ˚ Adriana ⋆. &#x1065a; ˚ The Bargainer by Laura Thalassa (4 books, completed series) or I also adored her Bewitched series! (2 books published, last third one is coming out in August) 🫶🏻


message 2: by isareads (new)

isareads ‘Immortal’ by Sue Lynn Tan is a standalone. I’m reading it rn and i really like it so far!!:)


message 3: by Emma (new)

Emma Skapetis The Six Crimson duology by Elizabeth Lim (though I still haven't read the second book yet). It is beautifully written and the romance subplot was so cute.


appipappi ₊˚⊹ᰔ beyond the filigree wall / rivenwilde series! a really cute and good romantasy, please check it up! the covers are so pretty also <3


⋆˚࿔ Ava &#x1d717;&#x1d71a;˚⋆ Heartless by Merrisa meyer is a masterpiece of a standalone!! But be warned, you might not finish the book with your heart intact…Heartless


⦂ ྀི乀 ℒ&#x1d4be;&#x1d4c1;&#x1d4ce; ♡̶༏ིྀ The Atlas series is so underrated


tan [lana’s version] the raven scholar and the sword of kaigen!!


message 8: by line :) (new)

line :) the cursebreaker series by Brigid kemmerer!!
idk if it's underrated but I don't see many people talk about it these days: we hunt the flame duology by hafsah fazil
cruel is the light by Sophie Clark
the Raven boys series by Maggie Stiefvater - it's pretty old (2012 hahaha) so maybe you've heard about it already but they're so good
defy the night series by Brigid kemmerer


message 9: by Toriఌ (new)

Toriఌ Avalon Tower!! Genuinely, this was such a fun read


message 10: by Lydia (new)

Lydia Ralte Currently reading a duology. Author - Amelie Wen Zhao.

Book 1 - The Scorpion and The Night Blossom
Book 2 - The Dragon and The Sun Lotus

Breathtakingly adventurous


message 11: by Maggie ♡ (new)

Maggie ♡ the crowns of nyaxia duology is really good so far 🥰


message 12: by Murray (new)

Murray ALL RHODES LEAD HERE by Zapata (though it may not be underrated I suppose)


bluiiberrii ୨ৎ ✩ six of crows and one dark window!!


⋆⭒˚.⋆ Eloise⋆⭒˚.⋆ The knight and the moth!!


message 16: by Isabelle (new)

Isabelle Heartless hunter duology is fantastic, war of lost hearts trilogy, Saga of the unfated duology, or the bloodlines trilogy by Kathryn Anne Kingsley (it will be finished this summer and is CRIMINALLY underrated!!). There’s also the Saints of Steel series by T Kingfisher. It’s a bit more cozy and has 4 books, but they can be read as stand-alones


message 17: by Saranya (new)

Saranya [slow] Lord of the Rings (fantasy)
The Nightborn Duet (romantasy) (READ IT ASAP PLEASE)
The Folk of the Air series (If you do not read this next, I'm coming to haunt you in your dreams👹👹👹)


message 18: by Bea27x (new)

Bea27x The scorched throne duology by Sara Hashem, A tale of stars and shadow series by Lisa Cassidy (more a fantasy with a secondary slow burn romance) and Fae Isles series by Lisette Marshall


message 19: by Payal (new)

Payal What does saranya mean??? You haven't read the folk of the air series???? Read it asap!!! I just finished my 7th read of that series😭😭😭also i am so down bad to BR and I am def in a fantasy mood rn but I do wanna read short books (not 600+ pages) doesn't matter how many are there in the series lol


message 20: by Em (new)

Em Well, underrated might be wrong because this trilogy won the Locus award and world fantasy award, but you probably never heard of it--author Charles de Lint's Over My Head (book 1), Under My Skin, Out of this World.

Another you may not be familiar with is Garth Nix's Sabriel, Lireal, & Abhorsan.

Mark Lawrence has two incredible series: Red Sister, Grey Sister, Holy Sister and his novella time travel series beginning with One Work Kill.


message 22: by butteafirst (new)

butteafirst Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross


message 23: by lena (new)

lena I’m rereading daughter of no worlds (war of lost hearts) because I couldn’t find one girl 🫩 but I will always recommend the city of Gods and monsters by Kayla Edward’s not finished but the first 4 books that were worth the read even not finished in my opinion babes 🫡🫡


message 24: by Uswah (new)

Uswah In The Wake of the Wicked (it’s a standalone romantasy series so you don’t have to worry about anything)


Sana⁷ (Sawamura Version) I recommend the Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson (technically it's more a sci fi series than a fantasy series, but it's awesome and I know that you know about it because it's in your tbr) and The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne (purely a fantasy series, also awesome) ☺️


sofi&#x1f380;&#x1f9f8; billie eilish’s version~hiatus&#x1f9f8; LEGENDBORN BY TRACY DEONN ALL TIME FAV N IT IS SO UNDERRATED ABOSOLUTE PERFECTION but book 4 isn’t out yet sadly.


message 28: by Freefall (new)

Freefall (inactive, find me on discord) it's more of a scifi dystopian fantasy but Sky Without Stars is AMAZING!! it's book 1of a completed trilogy and it's a retelling of les mis


⪩༏⪨ aurelia ⪩༏⪨ SORCERY OF THORNS IS INCREDIBLE 🙏🙏


Gabriela (vacay semi ia) The Ashen series by Demi Winters ❤️


message 31: by Monica (new)

Monica Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher is fantastic. I’ve read it five times, and I only revisit books that I consider to be masterpieces 👍🏻


message 32: by Lucy (new)

Lucy Jane Circe Circe was so good!


message 33: by Lucy (last edited May 30, 2026 09:18AM) (new)

Lucy Jane Ik it’s for a younger audience but the Land of stories series and Tale of magic series are so so good The Wishing Spell. A Tale of Magic...


message 34: by sanaReads (new)

sanaReads [s•ia] The City of Brass gurl it's so goodd read it!!!

(and 1.5k books on tbr is CRAZY)


message 35: by Lada ୨୧ (new)

Lada ୨୧ I will never shut up about the Remnant Chronicles (ya fantasy)!! the books aren't necessarily a classic type of fantasy (e.g., no faes or dragons), but it's set in a fantasy world and the books are definitely worth reading <3


message 36: by ava ⋆˙⟡ (new)

ava ⋆˙⟡ defy the night, immortal consequences, a study in drowning, the hyacinth labyrinth, and curious tides are all good!


ray ৎ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ (semi ia) nightweaver trilogy (third book comes out i think this year), an ember in the ashes quartet, a crane among wolves


message 38: by Marin (new)

Marin dance of thieves and vow of thieves!!


message 39: by Petra X (new)

Petra X Sorry, I don't read fiction, so no good recommendations. But my customers (I have a bookshop) really like Sarah Maas books.


message 40: by Hayaa (new)

Hayaa The Renegades series and Shadow and Bone both are trilogies

HAPPY READING 😛💙✨


message 41: by Emily (new)

Emily Abigail Owen “The Game Gods Play”, Rachel Gillig The Shepherd King Duology, Kaylie Smith The Wicked Games Duology, Kerri Lake “Nocticadia”, and Carissa Broadbent The Nightborn Duet.


leslieeee&#x1f1f2;&#x1f1fd;&#x1f4da;&#x1f9b9;‍♀️&#x1f3b6; Six of Crows, STAT. Lol I love that series! I also enjoyed An Ember in the Ashes quite a bit, although I'll have to go back and re-read to get proper ratings on the next books


✮`,— maddie .ᐟ.ᐟ shards of magic by Sarah Hawley!!! It's a fae romantasy trilogy. Books one and two are currently out, and book three is coming out later this year! It's a top-five series for me, and I totally would be interested in re-reading it for a buddy read in prep for book 3! If you decide to pick up this series, I hope you enjoy it, ML! 🫶🏼


message 44: by Reynita (new)
