Fantasy Book Recommendations with GREAT Atmosphere

[@jocelynjacob5102]

i love how you you turn the spines around to make it more mysterious in the thumbnail but then there's six of crows

[@adashofash]

LOL THATS WHAT I THINK EVERY TIME I INCLUDE IT IN A VIDEO ITS SO ANNOYING😂

[@charlietheis4048]

I also love how we as a community always know instantly that it‘s Six of Crows😂

[@lily-reads98]

Lol love that!

[@finaleclipse2110]

The Shades of Magic trilogy was super atmospheric for me and I loved the story itself! However, The Starless Sea is probably the most atmospheric book I have ever read, even more so than The Night Circus.

[@Audrey610]

I forced two of my friends to read Scythe and one of them to read Six of Crows for exactly the reasons you mentioned, and I'm really happy that they loved it too!

[@adashofash]

Ahhh yay!

[@StevieWallaceVA]

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden I definitely found immersive!

[@elenichamou1791]

Definitely The Bear and the Nightingale has the best atmosphere!

[@atmreads]

I've been loving your channel recently! It's helped me to get out of a year long reading slump

[@navya7465]

Me too I've been on a reading slump for months

[@atmreads]

@@navya7465 yeah, and I finally got out and read two books in the course of a weekend and I'm so happy to be back to reading

[@lily-reads98]

Same! Love her channel!

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

The best feeling ever

[@adashofash]

Aw thank you! I’m so happy to help with a reading slump because they’re literally the worst 😭❤️

[@Sarasstorytime22]

More people need to talk about The Last Magician series. I have no idea why this is not more popular. Trust and READ IT!

[@adashofash]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@artley8870]

Oo sounds good!

[@janineathenam.guzman7089]

I'm probably the only one here in comment section to say I LOVE MISTBORN TRILOGY! The anxiety is so true. Last 300 or so pages was an emotional roller coaster.

[@yamiatemyugi]

I adore the Night Circus. I cant so anything else while listening to it

[@nitzeart]

The Night Circus is indescribable. Is one of those book need to read to understand its magic 💕 About Mistborn though... strange that you found it atmospheric. One of the criticisms I have of the book is that it could have benefited from more descriptive, paused and even purply prose because it lacks a lot of atmosphere and mood for a book where its world is literally always covered in mists. But it's a nice fantasy story, specially if you haven't read much high fantasy.

[@adashofash]

I actually did find it atmospheric! I think I have a thing about heist books though (there are three on this list lol) and a certain vibe I get when reading them, so that probably helped me haha, but I can understand what you mean! 🥰

[@nitzeart]

@@adashofash yeah it also depends on what your own feel of the book is. That part about the heist makes sense. Still, just don't think Sanderson has the best prose ever. Sometimes it feels too simple for his worlds. Oh well. (You should read the starlesssea if you loved the night circus. Maybe you'll love it as well) Thank you for taking the time to answer, btw :)

[@Rochelle_alex]

First! I really needed new fantasy recs. Thank you!

[@jennya1782]

All right, you've convinced me! I GOTTA read the Last Magician now!

[@karamarie6781]

Night Circus is one of my FAVORITE books!

[@jilloliver4495]

u probably wont see this but, i love ur channel and cant believe that u dont have more followers

[@adashofash]

Aw thank you so much! 🥺💞

[@Audrey610]

Me: *sees title of video* Me: SIX OF CROWS SIX OF CROWS SIX OF CROWS!!!! I just read it recently, and.... wow!! It was better than I could've ever hoped for! I'm only 13, so I haven't read a ton of things, but I've read quite a bit, and this is my favorite series, and I can't even express how EXCITED I am for the adaptation!! Edit: I'm starting Mistborn tomorrow and An Ember in the Ashes hopefully this month, and I am so excited! I've also read Scythe and it's really really good, so I've really happy that you love it, too!

[@romae.22]

I love how we all know that it’s SoC on the thumbnail😂 Also I’m 14 and I loved both SoC and Mistborn!

[@adashofash]

Ahhh I’m excited for the adaptation too!💞 I hope you enjoy mistborn and AEITA!!

[@safinan8008]

Thank you for the recommending the books 😊📖 like ur videos 🎬📽

[@AB-nu5yt]

The lies of locke lamora by Scott Lynch! Honestly I didn't even plan on reading it but I AM SO GLAD I did. The world building was incredible and the characters were hilarious. Also the plot was awesome. 100% would recommend.

[@Sara-il8wn]

You got me eyeing Scythe that's been sitting on my shelves for about 6 months lol!

[@adashofash]

Dooooo itttttt 😜

[@LauraGarcia-pp5cu]

I love that you included night circus! One of my favs 🖤🖤🖤

[@lauranl_]

If you loved the City of Brass you have to definitely read The Tiger’s Curse! There is so much adventure, mystery and romance and it takes you all over India! Also the world building in Eragon is the most beautiful i have found yet! You can envision it so clearly and the magic there.. ! I know you would love them!

[@moumitareads3738]

I love your suggestions and reviews!!!!

[@ezemendez84]

i have to read Night Circus , city of brass and Ember in the ashes!! hope do it soon !!

[@caitlynbell4167]

thank you for the amazing recommendations! one of my favs is A Shadow Bright And Burning by Jessica Cluess 🥰

[@giuliacosta1017]

Ember is bae ❤️ throne of glass for me was also really immersive. I’ve just bought song of wraiths and ruin and now I’m even more excited to read it!

[@taanireads5685]

Except for Last Magician i would agree to this video completely, and yet to read ember inn the ash series . But City of Brass and Scythe and Six of crows along with Raven cycle series are so amazing at this atmospheric vibe

[@justonemorepage8723]

Seriously I've only read six of crows 😂 in this one but I've got most of them in my tbr and I really want to read city of brass and the last magician .......... Well I'd like to add acotar and TOG to this, ofc you've read these series but for me the world building of these books is just amazzzingggg !!😆

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

The Bear and the Nightingale - so vivid, I felt like I was there! Harrow Lake felt so realistic too!

[@TheBookishMom]

I have been DYING to read the Night Circus!

[@thecoolpineapple93]

Love all your recommendations, many of them are on my TBR and some other already read them! Thank you for the video!!!

[@Amanda-qt6lc]

The queens of Renthia trilogy is very vivid. I'm about half way through the third book. I've really enjoyed them so far. They're very atmospheric adult fantasy. The first book could be YA or new adult in my opinion.

[@davejoey]

Another week, another great video from Ashley 😍

[@jennsbookshelf_]

I love this!! One book that immediately came to mind that’s not fantasy is Thirtheenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It is iiiiincredible and gothic and cold, which is just the best. Also for fantasy, definitely Legendborn by Tracy Deonn!!

[@rosej.234]

I'm waiting to read last magician. Recommendation : Meluha by Amish

[@Bella-lh7kf]

Same The new book comes out in on April

[@rosej.234]

Woohooo can't wait to binge it

[@aananya5046]

Omg I love meluha

[@justonemorepage8723]

I've got the hindi edition for the first book Been planning to read it for days

[@diyabinoy4826]

Loved it as always 💗 got a brand collection of fantasy ❤️to fill my shelf ...........🔥🔥

[@rissyroooh4315]

I have The Night Circus, An Ember In the Ashes, and Six of Crows but haven’t gotten to them yet

[@lexibillick8739]

More people need to be reading The Disappearances by Emily Murphy!! I think about how that one made me feel all the time!

[@katerinabartosova3700]

For me it was A Darker shade of Magic by V.E.Schwab, I couldn't put it down for anything. The world itself is so intriguing and fascinating and full of mystery. And the characters were dark and just so full of problems they seemed human. V. E. Schwab really makes an amazing job with world and characters. What was your thoughts on this series? I thought I was gonna see this serie on this list but was wondering why you didn't include it?

[@adashofash]

Haha yes ADSOM is one of my all-time favs! I’m honestly not sure why I skipped over it this time around...but I have a few other recs videos planned and it’ll definitely make an appearance more than once hahaha 🤗

[@asawarijagtap]

Yay! I’m early! I am really looking forward to reading The Ember in the Ashes and Six of Crows. Thank you so much Ash for such an amazing video!

[@roshiniroshini2888]

I really needed this...

[@lily-reads98]

Watching this instead of reading lol. Love you Ash!

[@adashofash]

Lolol I appreciate you🥰🥰

[@parvathysureshh]

Wow! I’m early also can you pleaseeee do more middle grade recs? They’re just Soo good

[@adashofash]

I’m planning on reading more this year so I can hopefully make a new recs video! 🥰🥰

[@deekshaviswanathan3704]

Yes! Best day ever.... you and Reagan uploaded with a 2 min gap. Fan girl in me squealing. Love you vids by the way. :)

[@adashofash]

Aw thank youuu!🥺❤️

[@cynthiaholmes5124]

Most of the books on your list i have already read enjoyed them have you ever read the first law trilogy by joe Abercrombie or his the shattered sea trilogy

[@adashofash]

You’ve got great reading taste then 😉😉 lolol (and no I haven’t read either of those!)

[@cynthiaholmes5124]

@@adashofash so far I'm done with the shattered sea trilogy about to read the Last argument of Kings both of them are great 😁🤗😍

[@MeghanMurphy]

I am currently fully immersed into the world of the fifth season by n.k. Jemison! It’s amazing!

[@adashofash]

Oooooof yes so good! I’ve only read book 1 but I want to reread and finally get to the others!

[@larissaprates1384]

Ash, I loved this video. I'm not a big reader when it comes to fantasy, I'm always gravitating towards mithology and magical realism, so this was a great video of where i can start with the genre. I'm currently reading a fantasy middle grade, though, called "the girl who drank the moon". Highly recommend, it's so well written! And the book that I was most immersed in was "The strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavender". It was my first 5 star of this year. My mom recently got the first two books on the series "the mirror visitor" by the french author Christelle Dabos. Have you ever heard of it? xo

[@adashofash]

Oh I have the girl who drank the moon on my TBR for this year! Super excited to get to it! & I haven’t heard of either of the other ones but now I’ll look into them! 💞

[@aamnamalik212]

Ash you are such an enthusiastic reader and by watching your channel for more than a year , I realise that you LOVE fantasy but I am surprised you haven't read the LORD OF THE RINGS or the Inheritance cycle? I am sure you'll add it to you best books of the year. Try it and tell us what you think cuz the lord of the rings and the sillmarillion (its companion novel) are LEVEL NEXT as compared to the Hobbit.

[@tatianavelasco1335]

I haven't read the night circus book before

[@ryannandrealakip8904]

Thank you so much i really needed this. Love your vids!!!

[@traceyanderson7489]

I DNF’d The Night Circus but I loved The Starless Sea.

[@alexb6938]

Okay but where is your shirt from!!

[@adashofash]

It’s actually a dress from free people! Not sure if it’s still available but that’s what it is! 🥰

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

I wanted someone to do this video. Ashley to save the day

[@LauraGarcia-pp5cu]

I mean 6 of crows 🖤 is everything

[@funnyhahah357]

I would suggest reading “ The Throne Of A Witch. “ by forgotten_or_lost ! It’s still ongoing! It’s a fantasy story with what seemed to be a Enemies to lovers transition happening 😏 but over all it’s really good! SO READ IT [ it’s on wattpad btw! ]

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

YES AN EMBER IN THE ASHES 🥰

[@juliaripperger849]

I would recommend "A Winter's Promise" from Christelle Dabos. The atmosphere is amazing. I couldn't put this series down 😉

[@nitzeart]

If you want to read this book, you should know it has some unaddressed misogyny in it though. And sexual harassment.

[@adashofash]

Oh I actually have this saved in my Libby app! I’ll add it to my upcoming list!🥰

[@searley888]

This was very cool. :-)
