Welcome to the Fantasy page of the “Map of Genres” series. If you are unfamiliar with the series, you can read the introduction post here.
I have currently broken down this list into Adult, Young Adult, and Middle-Grade categories. I read a lot of Fantasy, so I imagine I will be splitting these categories into their own pages in the not so far off future. Depending on what I read, I may also break down this list into different sub-genre categories.
If you have suggestions of Fantasy books I should read, I would love to hear them in the comments!
*Note: Many of the links below currently link to the same handful of articles, and many have only brief notes about the book listed. These will be expanded upon as more posts are added to the site.
