I read a little over 120 books this year, and choosing my top 10 books of 2025 wasn’t easy. These are the books that took me through every emotion and still haven’t left my mind. Some are standalones, and some are part of ongoing series that I’m excited to see unfold. While most of them are fantasy books, some are dystopian fiction/fantasy. In no particular order: • ‘Chain-Gang All-Stars’ by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah • ‘The Dragon Republic’ by R.F. Kuang • ‘Red City’ by Marie Lu • ‘Bloodmarked’ by Tracy Deonn • ‘The Sword of Kaigen’ by M.L. Wang • ‘The Bone Season’ by Samantha Shannon • ‘Never Keep’ by Caroline Peckham&Susanne Valenti • ‘The Raven Scholar’ by Antonia Hodgson • ‘The Everlasting’ by Alix E. Harrow • ‘The Knight and The Moth’ by Rachel Gillig #fantasybooktok #booktok #bookrecommendations #favouritebooks #top10books
