Hi guys, I hope you are all well. There are so many series out there, so today I’m sharing 10 that I love and want to recommend to you guys. They are all currently ongoing, which basically means none of these series are completed as of posting this. A few of them will be completed by the end of the year, but most won’t be completed for another year or two. Let’s get started.
Gods of Blood and Powder trilogy
Author: Brian Mclellan
Books: Sins of Empire, Wrath of Empire and Blood of Empire (out Dec. 19)
Genre: Fantasy
This is the sequel trilogy to the Powder Mage trilogy. We get to see familiar faces as well as being introduced to new characters. This is one of my all time favourite trilogies and I cannot wait for the third book.

Of Blood and Bone trilogy
Author: John Gwynne
Books: A Time of Dread, A Time of Blood and A Time of Courage (out Apr. 20)
Genre: Fantasy
This is the sequel trilogy to the Faithful and the Fallen series. Again, this is one of my favourites trilogies and I cannot wait for the concluding chapter.

The Song of the Shattered Sands series
Author: Bradley Beaulieu
Books: Twelve Kings, With Blood Upon Sand, A Veil of Spears, Beneath the Twisted Tree, When Jackal Storms the Wall (out July. 20)and A Desert Torn Asunder (out 2021)
Genre: Fantasy
This is a six book fantasy series set in a fantastically vivid desert setting. While it did take me a little while to get into the first book, overall this series has been fantastic. I still need to read the fourth book, which came out earlier this year.

Dandelion Dynasty trilogy
Author: Ken Liu
Books: The Grace of Kings, The Wall of Storms and The Veiled Throne (out. 2020)
Genre: Fantasy
This is a epic fantasy trilogy that takes inspiration from Ancient China. While quite dense at times, the intrigue and sweeping battles/military tactics are so well done. I think I’ll have to reread the first two books before the release of the third book.

The Mirror Visitor series
Author: Christelle Dabos
Translator: Hildegarde Serle
Books: A Winter’s Promise, The Missing of Clairdelune, The Memory of Babel (out May. 20) and Untitled (out 2021)
Genre: Fantasy
This is a four book fantasy series that was originally written in French. First off, I love the covers of these books, and secondly the first two books were so enjoyable to read. I love the setting of this series. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

The Legends of the First Empire series
Author: Michael J. Sullivan
Books: Age of Myth, Age of Sword, Age of War, Age of Legend, Age of Death (out Feb. 20) and Age of Empyre (out 2021)
Genre: Fantasy
This is a six book fantasy series, set in the same world as the author’s other series, the Riyria Revelations. I find these books so easy and enjoyable to read. I can’t wait to see what happens in the last two books.
The Coraidic Saga
Author: Alicia Wanstall-Burke
Books: Blood of Heirs, Legacy of Ghosts (out Nov. 19) and Untitled
Genre: Fantasy
This is a self published fantasy trilogy that follows two main perspectives, Lidan and Ranoth. The first book was the author’s debut work. I cannot wait to see what happens in book 2.

The Ascension Cycle
Author: David Mealing
Books: Soul of the World, Blood of the Gods and Untitled (no release date)
Genre: Fantasy
The first two books were enjoyable reads and I would definitely recommend checking them out. I don’t know whether this is a trilogy or a longer series but I’m excited to see what’s in store for the characters.

Theonite series
Author: M. L. Wang
Books: Theonite: Planet Adyn, Theonite: Orbit and Theonite: City of Ghosts (out 2020)
Genre: YA fantasy
The Theonite world is an amazing one and I love the magic system. The first two books were super enjoyable to read and I cannot wait for the release of the third book next year.

The Cromwell trilogy
Author: Hilary Mantel
Books: Wolf Hall, Bring up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light (out Mar. 20)
Genre: Historical fiction
This is a fictionalised account of the life of the historical figure, Thomas Cromwell, who served as a principal adviser to Henry VIII. The writing of this trilogy can take a little getting used to but it is still well worth a read. The third and final book comes out next year.

I’ve started a few of these and need to read more – I’ve only read the first book in most cases, haha. I never seem to read the second promptly unless it’s an addictive read 😂

Haha that’s fair. I think I’m quite a compulsive reader so once I’ve finished the first book, I need to read the second book fairly soon after to find out what happens next 🙂

I’m usually a compulsive reader when it comes to urban fantasy! Apart from that, not really 😂

I haven’t read a lot of urban fantasy… the only thing that comes to mind is the Others series by Anne Bishop. Any recommendations for me? I’m interested in trying more.

Oh, I binged that last year! Good fun, although I think the series got weaker as it went on. The narrator does a great job though.
As for my recs, I love Fever by Karen Marie Moning (stick to the first five books though!) and Kate Daniels! And I’ve heard excellent things about October Daye. OH, and Hidden Legacy was also addictive for me this year, though it’s a bit more romance-heavy than, say, Kate Daniels, I think.
