Fantasy Books

If you’re in the mood for a good read, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a lover of Anne Rice’s Dracula or N. K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season, fantasy novels are among the best ways to pass the time. These books are rooted in mythology and have been enjoyed by readers since the early 20th century. Some of them even have a modern twist.
Anne Rice’s Dracula
Anne Rice’s Dracula is one of the most famous and enduring horror stories. In the novel, vampires are undetected and live among humans, with little or no impact on the human population. The vampires’ appearance is similar to that of a statue, and their eyes are luminous in the dark. The vampires’ skin and nails are smooth and pale, and their bodies are completely empty of bodily fluids except for blood.
Vampires in Anne Rice’s work thrived on immortality. The immortal life gave them the power to measure sin and death by the gallon. Despite their immortality, they were still capable of obtaining dinner for two before the sun rose. In Anne Rice’s work, vampires’ characters are free to explore their psyches and question their own mortality. While they may be evil, they don’t shrink from facing uncomfortable questions and going for the jugular.
N. K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season
The Fifth Season is an award-winning science fantasy novel by N. K. Jemisin. It was awarded the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2016. It is the first book in a trilogy that includes The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky. I highly recommend this book for fans of science fiction and fantasy. It will definitely enchant you! You’ll want to read all three books in this series!
The setting of this novel is fascinating. It’s a world that extrapolates from our own world, yet is very different. The characters are constantly facing danger and death, from apocalypses to personal tragedies. The end of the novel is filled with tumult, revelations, and hope. If you’re a fan of YA science fiction, “The Fifth Season” is an excellent choice.
J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings is a fictional book written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Tolkien was an accomplished scholar of the English language, specializing in Old and Middle English. He authored several works, including The Hobbit and other stories. The Lord of the Rings is set in Middle-earth, a mythical place in which men, elves, and dwarfs lived.
The story begins with a battle between the Ringbearers and the Ents, which the Fellowship of the Ring defeats. After defeating the Ents, Aragorn is crowned King of Gondor and Arnor. He weds Arwen, daughter of Elron. Meanwhile, Eowyn is engaged to Faramir, who has become Steward of Gondor and Prince of Ithilien.
Jennifer Williams’ The Ninth Rain
The Ninth Rain is a fantasy novel by British author Jen Williams. The characters in this book are elves, a race that once drank blood to stay alive. Despite their sexual prowess, they have a curse that forces them to drink human blood. These conflicting forces are bound to cause trouble and tension in this fantasy book, but it’s all worth it in the end.
