Hello, friends! Over the years I’ve seen (and been tagged in) several Fantasy Book Tags but I haven’t done any of them yet until now! I came across this particular fantasy book tag on Alli @ Alli the Book Giraffe’s page earlier this year and it seemed short and sweet enough to get done relatively quickly (I ate my words, it took me ages to decide on anything, lol)!
On that note, let’s get to it 🙂
What is the longest fantasy series that you’ve ever read?
This goes to Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I haven’t actually finished the series yet as I’ve still got the final book to read, but I did read all the others… But don’t ask me about any of them because I’ve got zero recollection of any of them! 😂
Favourite fantastical setting or world
Again, there are so many to choose from but one of the first that came to mind is the world from Elizabeth Lim’s The Blood of Stars and Six Crimson Cranes series. They’re not set in the same exact location but they are set in the same universe. It’s such a magical and whimsical Asian inspired fantasy world and I love it heaps!
Besides HP, what is your favourite fantasy book/series?
Nevermoor Series
If you love HP, there’s a high chance that you will love Nevermoor because it has many of the same qualities and it’s not written by a trash author (yes). This MG fantasy has easily replaced HP as my favourite, and I will never stop recommending it!
What fantasy book do you wish was more popular?
Another MG fantasy, you say? Yes. Omega Morales only has 180+ ratings on Goodreads and I have no idea why because it’s such an amazing MG fantasy!
Your favourite villain
This is surprisingly difficult as I’ve got two villains who I loathe & love but Holland from the Shades of Magic Series by V.E. Schwab has been my favourite for years. Ayt Mada (The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee) is a great contender even though it took me a minute to appreciate her villainy because she hurt my people. 😭

What’s the first fantasy book you have ever read?
I honestly have no idea but it might be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
What is your favourite mythical creature?
…It’s a bit cliche to say dragons, right? But DRAGONS! But I also love werewolves, gumiho, vampires, faeries… So many mythical creatures!
Favourite female protagonist from a fantasy book?
This isn’t my only “favourite of all time” FMC but Matsuda Misaki is top-tier. I finished The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang this week and it was amazing! Misaki’s story was incredible and her character left me speechless/in awe so many times throughout the read.

Favourite male protagonist?
Same as above, while he’s not my only favourite of all time, Yin Nezha from The Poppy War series by R.F. Kuang is without a doubt a character that just … I have no words! 😂 His character wrecked me!!! Made me so unwell!! Just thinking about him makes me CRY!!! HELP. SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD!!!

Love this tag! I agree so much with Misaki, she might not be my all time favourite, but she absolutely won me over in Sword of Kaigen. Also Ayt Mada is the worst… but she does it so well lol.

I love this tag and did it a while ago. I hadn’t thought about Holland as a brilliant villain but he really is. Nevermoor is such a great series too.

I love Nevermoor! I’m so excited that Silverborn is finally coming out. I’m tempted to listen to them again because the audiobooks are pretty good.

I never thought of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a fantasy, but I supposed it is. I think my first was maybe A Wrinkle in Time, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, or Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. They were all really popular when I was a kid.
