By now, if you have a Netflix subscription, you’ve probably seen an ad for the new Shadow and Bone series. Originally based on the Grishaverse books, a young adult high fantasy series by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone has exploded with popularity, with reviewers calling it the “new Game of Thrones” and “dark fantasy at its finest.” But Leigh Bardugo is just one of many incredible writers in this subgenre of YA. Since the early 2010s, YA high fantasy has been undergoing something of a renaissance, with the last 10 years producing beautifully written stories adapted from settings all around the world. Whether it’s the Russian influences of Shadow and Bone, or the Western Europe inspired faerie world of A Court of Thorns and Roses, or even medieval India with Hunted By The Sky, you can count on these books to transport you to a fantastical realm in your mind where you can escape the worries of everyday life and instead sink into lush prose, intense characterizations, and fantastical powers. Here are just a few of the many incredible YA fantasy books we are featuring this month.
