    Loved this! Definitely don’t want you to feel like you have to push through a book you don’t like for a video though! Reading slumps are the worst. Other fantasy books I recommend: Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout, Red Rising by Pierce Brown and Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Also I think a “reading spicy books for a week” video could be fun!

    My favorite fantasy book BY FAR is the Throne of Glass series. It's so long, but SOOOOOO worth it. I will say, I enjoyed it a lot more when I started listening to the audiobook while reading it. Since it's so long, you get so immersed into that world and it's just so good!!

    I recently just read the Fable series, and I loved it! There's four books, Saint #0.5, Fable #1, Namesake #2, and The Last Legacy #3. The difference is you can read just Fable and Namesake by themselves. The Last Legacy is in the same world a little after the time period in Namesake, but not with the same characters. There is also romance to a point!
