I know last Top Ten Tuesday I teased that I would do a top ten Tuesday that focused not on books set in a different country, but a fictional world. To me, this prompt seems way easier to do. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. And if you wanted me to do top ten books set in space, don’t worry, I’ll work that one in for you too.
(Fictional) Fantasy Worlds
- The Reader / The Speaker by Traci Chee.
- The Girl from Everywhere / The Ship Beyond Time by Heidi Heilig.
- Six of Crows / Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
- The Fifth Season / The Obelisk Gate / The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin
- The Girl With the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke
- Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
- Wild Magic / Tempests of Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
- The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton
- Alchemists of Loom / Dragons of Nova / Rebels of Gold by Elise Kova
- Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
- Every Heart a Doorway / Down Among the Sticks and Bones / Beneath a Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire
I totally didn’t pick 11….Okay I thought of 10 and 11 at the same time and it only felt right I include them both/all four of them.
Every Heart a Doorway was so good! I need to finish the series soon. Also, I want to read Six of Crows so much. 😀
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Oh yes! Have you read the second one?
I loved the worlds in Six of Crows and The Girl From Everywhere.

I just want to live in those worlds! I need to re-read them…
I wouldn’t mind seeing a “space” version! I love posts like this! I’m really curious about McGuire’s Doorway books, and Reign of the Fallen too since I read a different book by Sarah Glenn Marsh and thought it was good.
Yes! I’m so excited to do a space version of this. Those are all such good recommendations you should check them out! The Doorway ones are novellas so short
Heilig, Bardugo, and Kova – great picks!
Lauren @ Always Me
Aren’t they such a good power team!
Your #1 and #2 picks have been on my TBR for awhile, I feel like…I’m especially curious about Heilig’s world! For some reason, I thought The Girl with The Red Balloon was historical fiction?? I need to take a closer look at it, haha.
OMG wait you are totally right and I just included it as wishful thinking lol…..that’s embarrassing
Wahh, well, it looks like it’s more alternative historical fiction? So that’s like…one step away from fantasy?? I’d say you’re close enough haha.
haha thanks! I completely spaced for that LOL
