I love reading new releases as much as I love reading classical fantasy, and I have to say, 2024 has delivered. Even though the year is not yet over, I have already read nearly 60 fantasy books this year, many of which were released this year. And so if you’re looking for a recent fantasy…

Let me guess: You want to start reading Brandon Sanderson cosmere books and get in on the hype. Then you look up the man’s bibliography and nearly faint from the staggering number of books involved.

2024 has already been a stellar year for new fantasy book releases – but we’re not done yet! In fact, over the course of the next 12 months, some of the most anticipated fantasy books will be hitting the shelves – some of these books fans have been waiting for for years! As for myself,…
