Must-read books

[Antonio]

Hello, I've been reading fantasy for a short period. I've gone through Sanderson's entire Cosmere and am just starting to read Tolkien. I would appreciate recommendations for must-read books for someone new to the fantasy genre. Essential works that every beginner should read. I would greatly appreciate the information.

P.S.: Please excuse any errors in my message; English is not my native language.

I know that this is more sci-fi, but I loved C. S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy.

Leigh Bardugo is an amazing author if you wouldn’t mind reading some young adult fantasy!

If you want to take a look at some "older" books, look for Riftwar- and Serpent-War Cycle from Raymond E. Feist.

The "Dragonlance-Series" from Margaret Weis & Tracey Hickman brought me to Fantasy back in my youth.

"Longer" series are "Sword of Truth" from Terry Goodkind or "Wheel of Time" from Robert Jordan.

Wheel of Time, Harry Potter, Shannara saga, Gentleman bastard, Night angel trilogy, all Sanderson books, Raymond Fiest has several good books, Kingkiller books from Rothfus those should keep you busy for a while.

I was totally surprised by the "Daevabad Trilogy" - I can highly recommend it!
