7. The Naming by Alison Croggon
8. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
9. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
10. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
Okay, but wait! I also REALLY love historical/alternate history/steampunk fantasy! I couldn’t pass these books up!
1. Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
2. The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell
3. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
4. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

The only reason I’m not writing up a contemporary fantasy and fantasy in the future list is that I have to get to work. Oy, how could I ever have thought I don’t like fantasy?!?!
Reviews from a Bookworm
Great lists. I haven’t read many of these so I will have to look them up on Goodreads and might have to add a few to my own TBR list. Nice picks. My TTT 🙂
