Read these Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books on Kindle Unlimited Now

Most people know Kindle Unlimited as a platform that has a large number of romance books, but there are a surprisingly large amount of sci-fi and fantasy Kindle Unlimited books available as well. As a mainly fantasy reader myself, I was a bit skeptical, but I did a free trial and after a month I was hooked! There are so many titles available, both self-published fantasy books and traditionally published ones.

Books are added to the library and taken away often, so this list may not be fully accurate at the time you are reading it. Even if some of these books aren’t available when you get around to looking, I can guarantee there will be some new and exciting fantasy Kindle Unlimited books to grab your attention.

What is Kindle Unlimited?

If you don’t know, Kindle Unlimited is a monthly ebook subscription service offered by Amazon. You pay $9.99 a month and you get access to their entire unlimited library.

Many of these books are self-published. So it is a great way to discover smaller authors that you can support! When an author is on KU, they are actually paid per page read so you really are helping them out when you read this way. So help our a self-published author, read their books and then go give them a book review so other people can discover them as well. 

Not all books are self-published though. They have a lot of traditionally published books as well. You can scroll for hours looking through different genres and authors.
Like I mentioned earlier, books are constantly being cycled through on KU. For example, one month they had the entire Brandon Sanderson library on there for you to read for free. After a while, it went away, but books leave and come back all the time.

With this service, you don’t technically own the books. You are borrowing them and then returning them to Amazon when you are done reading them. Similar to a library but they had a lot more books I was interested in than my local library has available.

So what are the best fantasy books on kindle unlimited?

If you are looking for the best fantasy books on kindle unlimited right now, then you have to check these out. Many of these are self-published fantasy books, so they will likely be there for much longer than traditionally published books. If some of these aren’t available, just give it some time and they may come back or you may find something else that sparks your fancy!

Harry Potter

Yup, you saw that right. The entire Harry Potter series is on KU right now! This is one traditionally published series I have seen on there for quite some time now. So it seems it will be one to stay for a while.

The Fellowship of the Ring

Another fantasy classic, this is a book that seems to always be available to read for free.

Malazan Book of the Fallen

While this is not one of my personal favorites, Malazan is a fantasy favorite with many people.

Gild

This is a pretty new fantasy book release, so I won’t expect it to be on KU for long. So if you want to read this one, hurry up and check it out now.

The Air Awakens Series

The Air Awakens series is one of my favorite self-published fantasy books. It is a YA fantasy romance with a lot of war, politics, and some amazing characters!

Dragon Mage

Another fantastic self-published book, Dragon Mage has been a booktube darling the past year. With it being available to read for free, there’s no better time than now to give it a try. 

Winds of Strife

Sticking with the self-published theme, Winds of Strife is a fantastic grimdark epic fantasy. I liked this one so much that I even bought a physical copy just to have in my personal library!

The Rave

Isn’t this cover stunning! The Rave, another self-published fantasy, is one you need to check out on Kindle Unlimited right away!

 Voice of War

The final self-published fantasy book on this list, Voice of War is the first book in a new adult epic fantasy series by a super talented writer!

A Darker Shade of Magic

I have a feeling this one won’t be available long,  but it is one of my favorite series so I had to include it. Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab is an adult fantasy that is perfect for people who typically read YA and want to delve into adult fantasy without feeling too intimidated.

So what are the best sci-fi books on kindle unlimited?

Even though I am mainly a fantasy reader, I do dabble in sci-fi a little bit. I’ve been loving using my Kindle Unlimited to test the sci-fi waters a bit. If you want to try some sci-fi, then these books will make you very excited!

A Memory Called Empire

A Memory Called Empire is another booktube darling, but this time in the sci-fi space. I have actually been meaning to read this one myself so I was super excited to see it here on Kindle Unlimited.

Gideon the Ninth

Another sci-fi book that is on my personal TBR, Gideon the Ninth is a space romp featuring necromancers, female relationships, and politics galore!

 

The Murderbot Diaries

The entire series of Murderbot novellas is currently available on Kindle Unlimited! Pick this one up for a sassy robot and space adventures!

Ender’s Game

Our final sci-fi book is a sci-fi classic! Ender’s Game is one that I think everyone knows, even people who don’t tend to read sci-fi!

That was a lot, I know, but there are so many books on Kindle Unlimited. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy books on Kindle Unlimited. 

So if you check these out, let me know what you think! You can also send me your favorite Kindle Unlimited fantasy books for me to check out as well!
