For the friends who have been reading the blog for a long time, or those of you I’m friends with on Goodreads, it’s pretty obvious that I love fantasy. I’ve been reading fantasy for as long as I can remember, and most of my favorite books to date are fantasy novels. {I loved it so much that I even wrote, with the help of a few blogger friends, a post full of fantasy recommendations for Cassie!}
Hannah and I recently bonded over our love of fantasy reads, especially because we shared some favorite series! Hannah is a relatively new fantasy reader, while I’ve been reading for ages – but our love for fantasy is pretty much at the same level of love, love, love. So, inspired by our love of fantasy and our desire to read more of it, we decided to collaborate to celebrate fantasy – and thus, Fall into Fantasy was born!
Fall Into Fantasy is a three-week long celebration, where we’ll be talking about our passion for fantasy, reviewing a few fantasy novels, and writing some fantasy-inspired posts! We’re very excited to be bringing this event to our readers, and hopefully shining some light on fantasy and some great fantasy novels. In particular, we decided to take on the following fantasy novels:
Hannah and I hope you’ll join us as we celebrate fantasy for the rest of the month of November! We’re really excited about all the posts we’ve got lined up, and we hope you will be too.

How do you feel about fantasy? If you’re a fantasy reader, have you been reading it all your life or are you relatively new to it too? Who are your favorite fantasy authors? What are your favorite fantasy books? If you’re not a fantasy reader, what makes you hesitate?
My favorite fantasy series is Splintered series by A.G. Howard. I love Anita's version of dark but whimsical Wonderland. I loved the Stolen Songbird, so The Hidden Huntress by Danielle Jensen is on my fantasy wishlist
ReplyDeleteChristina R. in the rafflecopter
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy is Kiss of Deception and Burning Sky. LOVE how the worlds are so unique, but the stories are both character driven.
On my wishlist is Marie Rutkoski's new series :)
thank you so very much :)
Favorite fantasy book: Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff. On my wishlist is Skylark by Meagan Spooner
ReplyDeleteI love fantasy. The kind with knights and such are always fun, but I gravitate more toward 19th century-esk worlds.
ReplyDeleteONE favorite fantasy book on my mind right now would have to be "Shades of Milk and Honey" by Kowal. And ONE fantasy book on my wish list would be "The Paper Magician" by Holmberg.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I listened to the entire A Song Of Fire & Ice series on audio and loved it. My wishlist consists of all things Brandon Sanderson because I haven't read any of his books yet.
ReplyDeleteFavorite fantasy book is EASILY Throne of Glass :) Embarrassingly enough, I don't have a HC copy of Heir of Fire!! YET.
ReplyDeleteI read fantasy pretty well exclusively when I was a kid but then kind of fell out of it. The Song of Fire and Ice series had gotten me interested again. I would love to read The Young Elites, The Winner's Curse and The Red Queen!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Throne of Glass and The Chronicles of Narnia.....I don't tend to read a lot of fantasy, even though I would love to !
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so neat! I love fantasy. I just finished Heir of Fire a couple of weeks ago, and am still dying from FEELS OVERLOAD, but am still looking forward to reading all your posts! All hail the fantasy genre. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy of all time is a hard choice! I love Harry Potter, of course, but I also love George R R Martin's books, too. And, the Fairyland books have won my heart! If I had to choose one YA, it would probably be Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta. One adult fantasy would be The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.
ReplyDeleteI have the second and third (and the novellas) from the Throne of Glass series on my wishlist!
PYNCH PYNCH PYNCH AND RONAN AND GANSEY FANCY FACE AND THE SETTING AND AHHHHHH EVERYTHING IS MY FAVORITE LETS BE REAL.
ReplyDeletei haven't read the raven boys but I've heard nothing but amazing things about it! Super excited to read it
ReplyDeleteFavorite fantasy books, well probably the Harry Potter series. But of course I love the Raven Boys too!!! A fantasy on my list? Not sure. Maybe Cinder?
ReplyDeleteI really liked Blue and her family. I found their dynamic very interesting and I loved the idea of psychic abilities running in the family.
ReplyDeletemy fave fantasy is Queen of the Tearling & the one I am wanting is the Young Elites
ReplyDeleteAll of it. Every piece. There's no part I don't love. If push comes to shove, Ronan and anything having to do with him is my most favorite.
ReplyDeleteSo far my favorite thing about the Raven Cycle is the characters. Even the bad ones are hard not to appreciate. They are all so well written and developed. Blue and her boys are amazing cast of characters and I've just fallen in love with them.
ReplyDeletemy favorite thing about the raven cycle is absolutely everything, from the characters to the setting to the plot <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI am still in the middle of Blue Lily Lily Blue and I DON'T WANT IT TO END!!! I love that series!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started The Raven Cycle yet because I'm waiting for the series to be complete...I hate having to wait for books to release so this is my solution. But, I am chomping at the bit to start, the first 3 books are sitting on my shelf, tempting me every day. I love Maggie's books!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Graceling by Kristin Cashore
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things about the series is the author herself because she's hilarious and how the boys interact with Blue.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character in this series is definitely Blue. I'm on the second book from a library copy right now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the books but I want to read them because I think the idea of this "power" that Blue has is interesting and heart-breaking. Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about The Raven Cycle are the relationships between Blue and the boys and her family. And the magic...love the magic!
ReplyDeleteis The Mortal Instruments fantasy? most of my books is dystopia! I would love to win The Winner Curse :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet, but I love the ideas of premonitions and fate.
ReplyDeleteI love how complex the whole world is. It would be so easy to simplify issues like the economic issues, the abuse issues, or any of the friendship dynamics, but instead Maggie creates a wonderfully believable world.
ReplyDeleteI don't really want to read it. Personally I think it just looks nice on a shelf. Then, when my friends ask, I secretly look up the synopsis on wikipedia and appear both knowledgeable and literary.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing is Maggie's words. Without the right words and her careful attention to character and setting construction, this story could never be what it is. It is a most wonderfully stacked house of cards.
ReplyDeleteI want to read them because I adored the Shiver series.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about these books! And the art on those cards is amazing. I'm a tarot reader so I tend to get extra excited about cards. But I've been wanting to read these books since I first heard about them. I'll be honest - I'm not familiar with the author at present but the premise seems so interesting and I love discovering new authors to love and share with others, so fingers crossed on this one (either way, I'll be getting my hands on these books, for sure)!
ReplyDeleteThese books sound so interesting! I want to check them out because I keep hearing amazing reviews and they sound really unique! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book and the tarot is beautiful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about the Raven Cycle is the quest
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy book is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I'd love to get Young elites by Marie Lu. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about the Raven Cycle are Maggie's characters. They are so well written that I feel like I know them. This one of things I love about all of her books. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Gansey!
ReplyDeleteI want to read them because I ton of people on goodreads are raving about them.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter, Narnia, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings are some of my favorites. I'd love to finish all of Cassandra Clare's books and get my hands on The Bane Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose favorites, but I think one of them would be The Winner's Curse, The Grisha series and Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFavorite fantasy: Divergent. Fantasy book on my wishlist: Cinder and The Young Elites
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is how you can feel the magic of the story and the characters and the words coming off on your fingers as your read. Such a beautiful series.
ReplyDeleteI want to read these books because some of my friends have read them and loved them, and this trilogy/series sounds fun and unique!
ReplyDeleteI like the wry understatement of many important moments.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is really hard to decide, as I love all of it. But I especially love the relationships each character to each other and to themselves. Maggie is a master at writing such things
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would have to be either Bloodlines by Richelle Mead, The Archived by Victoria Schwab, or A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray! It's hard to pick one! One on my wish list the new Throne of Glass hardcover change! I want them all to match because it is also one of my favorites... :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about the story would have to be just how human these characters are. It is so genuine all around and has that touch of paranormal phenomena without going overboard. Love the story.
ReplyDeleteI love the characters!!
ReplyDeleteI love how the writing is so pretty and magical.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy book is divergent. <3 I'd love to add Throne of Glass on my tbr wishlist cause everyone is raving it. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy book is Graceling :) and Cinder is on my tbr, because it seems like everyone loves it!
ReplyDeleteamazing giveaway!! Love Maggie and her art!! AND GANSEY!!!
ReplyDeleteI love fantasy books! They're the best when you just want a fun, captivating read. Some of my favourites are all the series by Richelle Mead (honestly, in my opinion that woman can do no wrong! haha), and obviously classics like Harry Potter! There's also lots of them in my tbr, like the Lunar Chronicles, the Throne of Glass series and the Shatter Me series, among others, which I can't wait to read. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
On top of my fishlist are Froi of Exiles by Melina Marchetta and Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas!
ReplyDeleteI love the interaction between the characters and the way that Maggie tells their story. Draws you in immediately!

ReplyDeleteThe number one fantasy on my wishlist is the next Scott Lynch book, The Thorne of Emberlain (at least that's probably what it will be called). It should be coming out in 2015!
ReplyDeleteI love the HP and PJO series! :) The Throne of Glass is one fantasy book on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

My favorite fantasy? That's a hard one, but Harry Potter and PJO for the classics and Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Throne of Glass for the more recent ones.
ReplyDeleteThe Raven Cycle books make me so homesick for Central Virginia, the valley, the Blue Ridge. Her settings are so richly described, it takes me right back. Love it.
