What are your 5 star, couldn’t put down FANTASY books?
I read the fiction thread and got plenty of ideas from that but I’m liking fantasy right now. So what are the fantasy books you couldn’t put down because they were so good?
The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls, Lois McMaster Bujold
Wheel of the Infinite, Martha Wells

I’m going obvious and saying Babel by RF Kuang. Technically, it’s an alternative history with fantasy elements, but it felt fantasy enough to me to count when I read it.

Mistborn, The name of the wind, and The very secret society of very irregular witches are in my top.

I’m currently reading The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern and I’m grouchy that I have to work and feed myself and sleep instead of reading it

Banewreaker by Jacqueline Carey. There’s a second book, too. This is very different from her normal stuff, so if you’ve only heard of Carey in context with her Namaah books, this isn’t sexy times fantasy like that. It’s dense, but captured me immediately. I devoured both books and wished for more.
