#Bookstodon you are my only hope.
What is the best fantasy novel that you have read in 2025?
The book doesn't have to come from 2025, just one that you read last year.
Tell me a little about the book and why you liked it.
I am finishing up one of the books I am reading and am looking at the next to add to my rotation.
Thank you.
Boosts welcomed.
RJ Barker's Wyrdwood series. I read the first two and the third one came out and I haven't read it yet.
It is a classic anti-hero story, with an interesting world based on cognisant, and possibly malevolent, nature. The characters, and their abilities are also interesting
@timrichards @GreatBigTable @chestas best fantasy books i read last year:
She Who Became the Sun
The Kane series by Dick Wybrow
The Bride Must be Stopped by Stephen Ross
The Medusa Situation Gabiann Marin (humour)
Remarkably Bright Creatures (not sure it’s fantasy but one of the narrators is an octopus)
Blood and Stone by Tamara Bailey
Anything by Tansy Rayner Roberts (her Creature Court series is ++)
You might also like my book Kitty and Cadaver.

Little, Big by Crowley was long, but worth it. It's the kind of book that makes you believe in magic and found family as hope, imo.
The Works of Vermin was weird and glorious. It's also possibly the only book I've read that is a mobius strip.
Eye of a Little God is actually horror, but not too horrific. It's also queer (both definitions) and made me cry.
Catchpenny was a voice-y urban fantasy that kept me guessing the whole way to the end. The end was really spectacular.
