Hi guys, so there are so many series out there that I want to try out, which is why I am sharing 12 series I want to start for today’s post. You won’t be surprised to find that the majority of them are fantasy series :). I am sure I’ve missed some, but these are the ones that first came to mind. These are series that sound like something I’d like and/or have an interesting premise. As you will probably be aware of by now, I read primarily fantasy and so I am always up for trying new books and series of the fantasy genre. Let’s get started with the list.

Titan’s Forest series / book 1 – Crossroads of Canopy / Thoraiya Dyer – Goodreads

I don’t know when I’ll get to these, as I have a few unfinished series to read as well, but hopefully at some point I’ll check them out. I think we all know the problem of having an ever growing tbr :). I’d love to know if you’ve read any of them and your thoughts on them, or if you plan to read any of them. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

Shadows of the Apt is on my radar as well! And i also wanted to try out something by Kate Elliott, I heard a lot of good things.
I enjoyed ‘The Painted Man’ and Larssons’s Trilogy is definitely worth reading as well.

Just be aware that the Demon cycle gets into rape culture in later books.

The kracian culture, which one of the main characters introduced in book 2 is from, is very middle eastern and islamic. It also seemed to over-focus on demeaning women and the main character I just mentioned is as bad as any of them, and he’s supposed to be one of hte “good guys”. I LOVED the first book, was ‘eh’ about the second and really hated the 3rd. Never went back for the fourth.

I read the Millennium series many years ago, it was a bit confusing at times but when you get into it it’s very hard to put down because you’ll constantly want to know what happens next! At least that’s how I remember it 😛
