Adult Fantasy Book Recommendations
Adult fantasy is probably my favorite thing to read. Most of the books that I read are adult fantasy, so I have quite a few adult fantasy book recommendations that I think you will enjoy.
So often I hear a lot of people saying that adult fantasy intimidates them, and I get it. Adult fantasy can be intimidating to start with, but if you are used to reading YA fantasy, there are a lot of great books that you can read to slowly get into the adult age range.
Not all adult fantasy has to be something on a massive scale. They don’t all have 1,000 pages and pages upon pages of descriptions and hard-to-pronounce fantasy names. Adult fantasy can be very accessible as long as you know what books to start with.
Many of these adult fantasy book recommendations are extremely beginner-friendly and super accessible. Perfect for anyone wanting to get into reading more fantasy.
