But if you look at the term closely, you will realise that this genre offers more than just an escape. It makes you live in a world where imagination knows no limits. Anything could happen at any time, and sometimes, even the plot twist contains a twist. Fantasy books often keep readers on the edge, constantly thinking what would happen in the next chapter\u2014the adrenaline rush they provide with every fast-paced action, high-stakes plots, cliffhangers, and sudden twists\u2014is worth every second that readers steal from their real world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you are somebody who loves reading fantasy books, this blog is for you because it brings those books to the table that readers might miss amidst the ocean of marvellous literary works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Readers, brace yourself, we are about to dive into the top fantasy book series.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_5_Fantasy_Books_You_Must_Read\"><\/span><strong>Top 5 Fantasy Books You Must Read<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know, we alluded to the fact that we will be bringing books you may miss; however, talking about fantasy books and missing out on books like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lord of the Rings <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Song of Ice and Fire <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a sin. Therefore, we will begin with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lord_of_the_Rings\"><\/span><strong>The Lord of the Rings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine a world where a dark lord forges the most powerful ring to control everybody. Sounds vicious, right? This idea didn\u2019t sit right with Frodo Baggins either\u2014a hobbit who inherited that formidable and potent ring. That\u2019s when he joins a fellowship of nine companions and sets out on a quest to destroy that ring in the fires of Mount Doom, following betrayal, sacrifice, and war. We all know that The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lord of the Rings <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/J._R._R._Tolkien\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J.R.R.

We are not sure about the hand-raising part, but we can see a lot of you nodding with a slight smile. Well, that\u2019s what happens when an epic fantasy series is out with breathtaking action, peak detailing, and riveting cinema.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, it all began when George R.R. Martin authored the fantasy book series, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Song of Ice and Fire.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A book that\u2019s all about the struggle for control of the Iron Throne of Westeros, a clash in brutal political and military conflict, betrayal, power, the struggle for reclaiming birthright, inhumanity, and a place where heroism is rarely rewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you haven\u2019t read this book series yet, hurry up! And thank the person who forced you to read it\u2014even us if it\u2019s the first time you are coming around this book! Because it\u2019s worth all the hype that it gets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assassins_Apprentice\"><\/span><strong>Assassin\u2019s Apprentice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you exist in a world that both needs and despises you? We presume at the cost of your sanity, but for how long? Isn\u2019t there any limit? Well, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assassin\u2019s Apprentice <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Robin Hobb will answer all these questions. This book series is about the illegitimate son\u2014Fitz\u2014 of Prince Chivalry, who abandons him at the age of six years old. Thereafter, Fitz was taken into the royal court by the royal spymaster Chade, who trained him to be an assassin. Moreover, Fitz attains a magical gift of Wit\u2014a bond with animals\u2014which people generally considered shameful. And just when you think things can\u2019t get worse, they do; the kingdom faces a threat from Red-Ship Raiders as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, it\u2019s an interesting book series that revolves around betrayal, identity, loyalty, and the struggle to seek one\u2019s place in a world that abhors you but won\u2019t stand a day without you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lies_of_Locke_Lamora\"><\/span><strong>The Lies of Locke Lamora<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you into books that revolve around gangsters, a corrupt city, and are witty?
