SELF-PUBLISHED FANTASY BOOKS 🔥

[@GlitchWave-s6z]

the fact that nobody talks about the book called Manifestation Hacks by Olivia Cooper speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance.

[@thewitchyreader6131]

I love indie books. I'm actually a self published Fantasy author.

[@yourewelcomebooks]

YES - I love The Songs of Chaos series. The disability rep was so good

[@mecahhannah]

Ok I need to check it out I have a disability and I'm always on the look out for books with good representation thanks 😊

[@Avarn388]

@yourwelcomebooks It does a good job showcasing how hard it is for Ash to be blind but it doesn't become a pity party where it's harped on. Which I like a lot. It shows Miller did his research but clearly put the disability to service the world building and the character of Ash and his relationship with Holt. Good stuff.

Just bought Ascendant for my kindle! Thanks for another great video!

[@thyrsus21]

I enjoyed Elisabeth Wheatley's self published "Daindreth's Assassin" series.

[@bisma1352]

I've been looking for someone to honestly review that for so long! Unfortunately her own videos are the only ones that come up on here Can you give your own spoilerfree review?

[@thyrsus21]

​@@bisma1352The first chapter introduces Amira, an enslaved sorceress sent to assassinate the demonically possessed archduke Daindreth Fanduillion. She uses ka, a life force magic, to evade notice, but things go wrong, and in the excitingly choreographed hand to hand combat (the author is a participant in LARP medieval fairs) the blood magic attack goes weird, and Amira must flee wounded. That's chapter one of book one. The remainder of the five volumes contain gripping descriptions of relationships, journeys, battles, politics and tantalizingly slow burn romance. There's a huge spoiler in the title of the fifth book: Daindreth's Empress.

[@thyrsus21]

I don't get the problem with spoilers: I enjoyed reading the series a second time as much as the first. The writing is that good.

[@bisma1352]

@@thyrsus21 @thyrsus21 i think everyone has different things they enjoy about the same story even. So having major plot and twists spoiled ruins the build up the writer did and the ability to judge the story's unpredictability is gone. Rereads have a different value, seeing how the foreshadowing was right there and somehow the author misdirected us or reliving favourite moments from the first time.

[@bisma1352]

@@thyrsus21 thanks for the review however!

[@Sarah27H]

Definitely recommend that you take a look at "Where the Lightning Goes" by Jackery Salem. It's a whimsical high fantasy that's a pretty quick read and a stellar audio book. I've listened to it a bunch of times and it doesn't get old lol

[@noelanikaanana]

I need to read the songs of chaos series... it sounds so good

[@JessicaRoseReads]

I’d really love to hear your thoughts on Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Wandering Inn!

[@ricoanthony16]

Two great recommendations! (and completely different)

[@bespectaclednerd4426]

Totally agree about unbound. For me i love the levelling up magic system but i get why lot of people might not like it because it can slow and dragged out. I loved the second book because the politics and world building was pretty well done. The third book is definitely my favorite

[@mimasan85]

Yes, the Kindred's Curse Saga got picked up. I got the new collectible hardcover a few weeks ago at Target. The hardback for the second will release on December.

[@bookmarksnblankets]

I’m curious about good fantasy books on Kindle Unlimited. I just signed up and know there’s a lot of self-published and indie authors on that platform. But which ones are actually good and worth reading? I’d love a video recommendation. Love your content! 😊🥰

[@DonnaMcMasterRiver]

One of my favorite fantasy authors is Lindsay Buroker. She has a series of urban fantasy series set in Seattle and the Pacific NW that are all available via Kindle Unlimited. The first series is Death Before Dragons, followed by Legacy of Magic and Tracking Trouble. Her sword and sorcery series, The Curse and the Crown, is also on KU. She also has several earlier series where the initial books are available free or $0.99 as a boxed set of three, then subsequent books run around $4-6 each. My favorites of those are Emperor’s Edge and Dragon Blood, both steampunk, Dragon Gate more an epic series, and two sci fi series Star Kingdom and Fallen Empire. Her stories are action packed, fast-paced, with lots of unexpected twists and snarky humor. She creates strong, intelligent, unusual characters with lots of heart who can think on their feet and often have to come up with plans B and C when their instincts don’t work out the first time.

[@dienercontent6872]

Always appreciate when you cover indie books! My wife is currently reading the 3rd book in Spark of the Everflame. She's been talking non-stop about it!

[@mecahhannah]

Awesome as always thanks always appreciate more recommendations can't wait to check them out appreciate reading the suggestions in the comment section as well thanks to everyone who took the time to post them! Love your channel!😊❤

[@krlovn]

Ahhh im currently reading the Kindred's curse series it's so goood❤

[@n.c.1201]

Great video!! I have been listening to your videos for about a month or so and really enjoy. I am a mother who has a child who loves reading!! I just found an author, Sarah Allen, who has a passion for story telling and science!! I am just starting to read some of her books. I just received an advanced copy of "Gravity: A Fairy Tale" which has a cover of a pirate-like young girl standing on a rock with waves crashing behind her and a dragon flying in the background. I am excited to read these and excited to see this being published! She has a handful: The Fairy Tale Physics Series, Physics Story Games books, Stick Figure Physics books, etc. You should consider reading and reviewing these!! ❤ Ps- where did you get your glasses from? And also, did you ever make a video on your make up tutorial?! 😂❤

[@mrscrystalking]

YESSS, I mostly read these.

[@JoshVrl]

Such a great thing to give a platform for Indi creators.

[@aloracarter118]

I love indie! I read like 100 indie a year and love love it. Thanks for reviewing

[@crystalsbookishlife]

Loved the whole video and yes more content like this please!! I read this because of you and so far Dior is my favorite

[@SlowBurnReader]

Elliot I would love to hear your thoughts on and for you to read the novel: “Where The Dark Stands Still” - by A.B Poranek it’s a standalone, an amazing fairytale fantasy, inspired by Ancient Magnus Bride, Howls Moving Castle, as well as Beauty & The Beast vibes with some Slavic Folklore elements for good measure.

[@HungryEyes-sl3mu]

Impatiently waiting for Ascendant: Songs of Chaos to become available at my public library. I've only read the free sample but I was totally hooked on the worldbuilding and character development. In the meantime I'm gonna pick up Dungeon Crawler Carl, a D&D-esque setting with a modern day dude just trying to survive, hijinks ensue.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I want to read spark of the ever flame, I’ve heard some pretty great things about it!

[@searchanddiscover]

i feel like a better way to describe it is very slow burn with momentum kicking up in later books.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Love Medusa and spark of the ever flame my favorite books ❤️🖤🖤❤️❤️🤎🍂🧡🧡🍂📙📙📚📚📖📖📙📖📚📖📙📙🎃🎃❤️👻👻🖤🖤👻❤️🎃🤎👻🧡🧡🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🖤🖤👻🤎🎃🎃🍃🍃

[@Mimlou]

Loved the Spark of the Everflame series!❤❤

[@authoreloisebahr]

I think my favorite romantasy is an indie trilogy - Echo in Time is the first of the books. Time travel, Egyptian mythology, with a bit of mystery and spice. Really enjoyed the whole thing.

[@mecahhannah]

I highly recommend the twin soul saga by glennda Delseree!

[@francineh.7825]

It looks like Spark of the Everflame got picked up by Atria Books.

[@nickil3239]

Unrelated to this video but this is driving me crazy. I’m trying to remember a book you recommended in multiple videos about a series with dragons and political intrigue that you love. I can remember bits of the cover, the title is vertically down the middle with red coloring I think. Please help this is killing me.

[@Artemis.97]

Firebourne?

[@nickil3239]

@ you are a lifesaver!! Thank you!!!

[@stanloona000]

You pained me deeply when you said Progression Fantasy (the leveling up plot) is not your thing :(

[@steveschiely5783]

Foul Days second book is out!

[@arthurweise2573]

Blood over Brighthaven is coming out tomorrow.

[@Ronnien]

Can anyone recommend a fantasy series with a compelling murder mystery as its subgenre?

[@SlowBurnReader]

A great self-published work would be: “Murder at Spindle Manor” I think you might enjoy :)
