Now that you have had a chance to dip your toes into fantasy with a stand alone book, now is the time to try a trilogy. These are some of my favorite fantasy trilogies and are very readable. I’ve linked to the first book in the trilogy, so you can add it to your goodreads to read shelf 🙂
4 Fantasy Trilogies to pick up now
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson: Mistborn is epic fantasy. There are fantastic characters (including a female lead), a different type of magic system, and a world that is immersive. Best part is that while this trilogy stands on its own, there are several books set in the same world 400 years after Mistborn.
Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin: If you are not keen on what fantasy usually throws at you (the little guy rises up against the bad, only one person can save us all, etc etc) then you will likely enjoy Jemisin’s writing. While this trilogy isn’t a continuous story like most, the overarching theme flows throughout all three books. Of course, there are overlapping characters, but not like a normal series when you follow one character throughout the entire story.
Spiritwalker Trilogy by Kate Elliott: Kate Elliott is one of my favorite authors. This trilogy is set in a steampunk era with two fantastic female leads. There is magic, technology, relationships (both romantic and friendships), and a fascinating world. Plus, one of my all time favorite characters is in this series.
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien: This a classic that everyone should read. Yes, even if you have seen the movies. While those are fantastic, they don’t beat the books. Good vs. evil, friendships, and epic trials make this a fantastic trilogy.

Have you read any of these fantasy trilogies? Let me know in the comments if you have or if you have any other recommendations!
Fantasy typically isn’t my favorite genre but you do have me intrigued by the strong female leads in a steampunk setting!
That series is really fun! Even if you typically don’t like fantasy it’s one that kind of transcends the genre.
The Spiritwalker trilogy sounds fantastic. I’ll have to look it up. Thanks!
It is very good!
I’ve heard good things about Mistborn. I do enjoy Fantasy, and definitely liked the Lord of the Rings books even better than the movies!
Books are almost always better than the movies 🙂
Spiritwalker seems right up my ally.
You would enjoy that series for sure!
I used to read all the time and now I find myself way too busy. I know it’s sad. But I love the Lord of the rings movies and the books are always better than the movie so I’ll have to find the time to read those books for sure ?
I hear you on the busyness! Hope you find time for the books!
I’m not usually into fantasy but I’m intrigued…
