Bookmas 2018: Day Eight

Welcome to day 8 of Bookmas where I'll be sharing some 

of my favourite fantasy books that I read this year!

So many amazing fantasy books came out this year and

I finally got around to reading some that had been on my 

tbr for a while.

So let's take a look at some of my favourite fantasy

books...

Uprooted by Noami Novik

This year I was lucky enough to be
sent Uprooted and Spinning Silver from
Penguin Canada. I'd heard amazing things
about Uprooted and I ended up loving it
even more than I expected. Spinning
Silver was also an amazing read, but
I personally preferred Uprooted.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab

I've wanted to read this trilogy for a very long time 

and this summer I finally did. I'd only heard amazing 

things and I was super happy that these books lived up to 

their expectation. 

I was hooked from these books from the start and 

ended up reading the entire trilogy in a couple of days. 

Everything from the world, the magic and the characters 

had me hooked and on the edge of my seat.

If you haven't checked out these books I highly 

recommend you do!

The Queen's Rising by Rebecca Ross

This book from a debut author was sent 

to my from HarperCollins Canada earlier 

in the year. I didn't know much about the 

book before starting it, but I ended 

up loving it. Rebecca Ross did a fantastic job 

at creating the world and characters. 

This book really was a fantastic debut book 

and I cannot wait to see what 

Rebecca Ross comes up with next.

The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green

This book was immediately on my tbr after it was described as 'Game of Thrones for a young adult audience'. This book ended up being even better than I had expected.

Sally Green did a fantastic job at creating fantastic characters that I really felt connected to. The chapters switch between all the different characters giving you a real sense of the political conflict and war that is happening and how each side is coping.

Sea Witch by Sarah Henning

This debut book is a retelling of The Little Mermaid from Ursula's perspective and it was fantastic! This is the first Little Mermaid retelling I've read and I really loved that it was an origin story for Ursula. 

I was very excited to receive an arc in the mail from HarperCollins Canada and I ended up completely flying through the book and being left wanting more. I'm excited to see what Sarah Henning comes up with in her next book.

I read a lot of fantasy books, so choosing my top 5 favourites was 

pretty difficult. There are so many more fantasy books that I loved this year

and so many amazing fantasy books were released.
