fantasy series i want to read in 2021 🐉🗡

[@ssevas]

joel: percy jackson everyone: liked that

[@fictionalfates]

this is the moment

[@lydiasbookshopcafe3473]

Is it a gripping series? I always mean to read them but I made the mistake of thinking the films represented the books, I now know the books are supposed to be far better!

[@ssevas]

@@lydiasbookshopcafe3473 i found that the 1st book started off rocky just bc of all the exposition needed, but they read fast and are actually enjoyable (this is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy much middle grade and YA anymore).

[@tiakiwi]

Percy Jackson: is my fave of all time Joel: Percy Jackson? Reading vlog? Me: 👁👄👁 *please*

[@francescakyanda9182]

Same

[@fictionalfates]

LOL it shall be done

thoughts? :0000

[@MaraOliver]

Oh my godness. I loved the Percy Jackson series, it made me laugh (and cry) so much. Can't wait to see that reading vlog!

[@fictionalfates]

ahh thank you!!

[@tana3537]

I heard '14 books' and immediately went "ah he's also attempting to read The Wheel of Time". I managed to get to book 7 this year, they're good but sooooo large

[@jadekerrice6400]

That chain of gold book omg👀.

[@fictionalfates]

it's SO BEAUTIFUL

[@MsAwesomeSaucey]

Yassss, the PJO series is amazing and harkens back to a time where things were just about adventures as a kid.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ooooo I really wanna read the Kyoshi novels too, I’m currently watching Avatar The Last Airbender FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER 😱

[@naledi5332]

I wish I was you! I'd love to watch ATLAB with fresh eyes

[@fictionalfates]

GAVIN WHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME THIS SOONER I- I NEED ALL YOUR THOUGHTS

[@mariaguida7159]

Yes, yes we need a reading vlog of Percy Jackson and i'll finish this series in 2021 too, i'm so excited

[@jamess0_0]

I’m also deciding to read The Wheel of Time and I just tell myself that since I’ve read pretty much every Cassandra Clare book I’ll be ok 😂😂 anything to rationalize how epic of a series it is

[@fictionalfates]

oh wow LOL we've got this

[@ceceleininger]

if you’re planning on reading the dark artifices, the last hours, and the elder curses you absolutely HAVE to read tales from the shadowhunter academy, the bane chronicles, and ghosts of the shadowmarket!! they add so much to the characters and the universe as a whole highly recommend!

[@sophiecarbone4977]

Love the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy!! It definitely has that earlier like 2013 vibes YA feel to it but it’s still really really good!!

[@fictionalfates]

Omg if it gives me nostalgia i'll be all for it

[@_ameljaaa]

I read Percy Jackson this year and I’m in love! Already finished all of Rick’s books. I really recommend reading The Kane Chronicles, at least I really liked it.

[@francescakyanda9182]

Rick Riordan remains reverent

[@lalicurates]

I just finished The Fifth Season and it was a phenomenal experience. Fingers crossed you enjoy it too.

[@fictionalfates]

Ahh thank you!!

[@srideepta]

final empire is one of my best reads this year i think you'll love it Joelle it's just THAT GOOD

[@thisiscarmen]

how do you get your hands on all of these pretty special editions?? i'm jelous

[@fictionalfates]

adsifjhdfi it's part luck, part not wanting to miss out in case i adore the series

[@lydiasbookshopcafe3473]

Also jealous🙋🏻‍♀️the coins, however, are not there in order to do that😂

[@emiliereads4765]

I really want to get back into the fantasy genre. It's been years since I've been able to immerse myself in a fantasy world without distractions and I've really missed that 😄

[@RKStumblingbear]

I am currently reading the Wheel of Time series. Book 4 has been my favorite so far.

[@nele989]

omg i just started the stormlight archives and absolutely love it! so excited to hear your opinion!! definetly want to read mistborn and elantris too in the forseeable future 😊

[@nevermind0528]

I’m glad I’m not alone in never having read Percy Jackson, gonna give them a shot next year too ☺️

[@pumpkinisconfused5079]

Do, I love it so much but it may help that seeing characters with ADHD was so rare for me to find and relate to

[@beth-beef]

same! i tried to read it way back in the fifth grade. figured that since i'm graduating this year, i might as well go ahead and give it another try

[@lindsey9153]

I’ve never read them either but I plan on it soon

[@cass3088]

Okay but your skin is glowingggg 🙌🏾🙌🏾we don’t deserve

[@lydiawalker0714]

I started reading The Rise of Kyoshi last year but I DNF'd it because I struggled with the descriptions and the app I was using to read it malfunctioned when I was halfway through. But I love the comics. If you enjoy them, I think the library editions are worth the investment. The publisher is also coming out with a Suki one-shot comic next year 😍

[@izabelleholmgren]

I need those WoT vlogs! I started the series years ago but I never finished it. Next year I'm forcing my sister to read it with me. 😅

[@aoibhk7786]

Girls of Paper and Fire is so beautifully written and really had such an impact on me! I can't wait to see your reaction 👀

[@Mimimandycarol]

I love this reading list! It covered several books I want to read with my 2 kids and many I want for myself. 2021 is our year of fantasy. My son is speeding through Wings of Fire and we will start Percy Jackson after he his done.

[@niakharebashvili1480]

This video gave me pure joy??? I have most of these books on my tbr as well

[@pinksuperstar2]

Love the fact you included many OG fantasies. DEFINITELY want to read Percy Jackson since people say it's insanely amazing The Dark Artices and Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare The Mistborn trilogy

[@spencerhatesuni]

take a shot every time Joel says 'delve into this' - you'll be wasted in no time XD

[@fictionalfates]

honestly or even the word ‘excited’

[@moony-_-.]

stop it’s adorable 😭😭💕

[@libbyhanzlik3110]

We have so many overlapping series that we want to read! Cant wait to hear your thoughts on Girls of Paper and Fire, Gideon, and The Fifth season!

i love when joel says "delving"

[@MrRoro_su]

parts please. how will i be patient to wait for the full wheel of times reading vlog lol

[@fictionalfates]

👀 LOL imagine the wait

[@ninjabuttparty5279]

I also want to read Wheel of Time next year! That's probably going to take up all the available reading time, but if not I want to read The Witcher series!

[@fictionalfates]

OMG yes! I definitely want to get into The Witcher too!

[@zara6472]

So many I still need to read! Next year I want to concentrate on the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett which has over 40 books. I also want to read the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas.

[@fictionalfates]

Discworld was one of my favourite book series as a kid, I definitely need to reread them at some point

[@alicetremblay2427]

I CANNOT WAIT for you to read the broken earth trilogy OMG 🥳

[@finaya]

I read the Percy Jackson books this year (I knew I'd loved them since I'm trash for greek mythology/other mythologies since I was in fourth grade) and I'm also planning on reading all the other Riordanverse series next year. Reading Vlogs would be lit

[@fictionalfates]

I'm literally trash for mythology too so I feel Riordan's series would be a perfect fit for me ^_^

[@SereneDancer]

The Wheel of Time is really good! I need to get around to a reread. Get ready for a lot of braid tugging and skirt smoothing 😀 also love the Daniel Greene mention!

[@luca.desu.2590]

YES omg such an exciting lineup! I'm mid kyoshi series and love it! Yee does such a good job of balancing originality with honoring the universe and digging into more world building. (Can confirm about the gay 😍)

[@AnEmbarrassmentofBooks]

The Witchlands is at the top of my TBR for 2021. So happy to learn I’m not the last person who needs to read this!

[@fictionalwanderings9964]

I am getting soo hyped for the new year after watching this!!!! You’ve added so many series to my tbr just now (just as guilty of not reading them yet lol) 😅🙏🏼😍 One series I have got to get to is the kiss of deception (?) I’m craving fantasy romances for some reason 😅

Hello from CA! Before your videos, fantasy was a genre I never picked up but you've inspired me a lot to give them another shot! Thank you :)

[@seawitch8219]

The novella Sightwitch is also really good. It follows a character we meet in the first two books and sets up for the third novel. It is also illustrated. Kyoshi is gay.

[@maddiaultman4519]

Can we just appreciate the subtle music that plays in the back ground❤️ I was listening along and before I knew it I was vibing

Excited about Percy Jackson, and Mistborn. There is a lot of crazy stuff that happens in both that will be fun to watch.

[@alexandraohara5323]
