Barts Book Club: these are the best fantasy books
You either love it or you hate it… The fantasy category. If you belong to the latter club, then read on. The titles below will make you one too fantasy lover, promised. These are the best fantasy books.
Dragons, monsters, magic; yup, this falls under the heading of 'fantasy'. But this book is also very (very!) sexy, surprising and exciting. You follow bookworm Violet who is sent to the War College to become a dragon rider. You understand, that doesn't go smoothly. Add to that a super hot nemesis, steamy romances and plot twist after plot twist and you understand why we immediately started the second part of this series, Iron Flame.
This novel centers on the story of Feyre, who kills a wolf and is taken to the enemy fairy kingdom of Pryhtian in retaliation by a beastly creature. Spoiler alert: her captor turns out not to be a terrifying beast, but a handsome landlord who suffers from a rather annoying curse. It is Feyre's job to break that curse. A wonderful series that you should definitely read through, because the second book is even better than the first.
Yes, of course, all Harry Potter books are in this list. Are you a self-proclaimed Harry Potter superfan but have only watched the films? Sorry, doesn't count. The books are so much more detailed, deeper and better than the movies. Anyway, you get the point: you simply have to read this entire series once (or more often!).
'The Colors of Magic' is set not in one, but in four different versions of London. Kell is a blood mage who can travel between different versions of the city. He becomes friends with in one of those parallel worlds badass pickpocket Lila and together they take on a lot of bad guys. Great: this book also has two sequels, so you can continue reading once you've finished it.
