I feel like I’ve been reading a lot “Royal Reads” lately, mostly because I seem to really enjoy a lot of high fantasy! A lot of my recent reads have featured some royal titles of King, Queen, etc so I thought it would be fun to put together a mini-series of some of my favorite “Royal Reads”!
Today, we’re talking Kings. Real kings, fictional kings, kings of imaginary worlds… doesn’t matter — I love ’em all!
THE RAVEN KING by Maggie Stiefvater
Naturally one of my first thoughts is THE RAVEN KING. The Raven Cycle is one of my all-time favorite series and just this title along evoked a lot of feelings! It’s definitely unique, totally magical, and a wonderful series full of amazingly in-depth characters.

THE WICKER KING by K. Ancrum
THE WICKER KING was a very interesting read! The book was very well put-together in structure and in plot and the pacing was incredible! I definitely didn’t want to put it down at any point and I think this will be a big buzz-book in the fall!

THE KING OF ATTOLIA by Megan Whelan Turner
I still haven’t written my reviews yet for the Queen’s Thief books but I binge read them on audio and had such a great time listening to them! THE KING OF ATTOLIA is smack in the middle of the series so I can’t say much about it specifically but it’s a really interesting series in its structure and where it takes the reader!

THE WAY OF KINGS by Brandon Sanderson
I’m determined to read all of Brandon Sanderson’s works and I finally stared on The Stormlight Archive. If I thought a 600 page book was a little intimidating, it had nothing on these 1000+ page books. THE WAY OF KINGS was different than what I had expected but I’m so curious about the next book! I’m hoping it has a bit more development and I can’t imagine it won’t with where this left off!

A CLASH OF KINGS by George R.R. Martin
And what kingly feature would be complete without one of the most epic throne battles, A Song of Ice and Fire? It’s already been so long since I’ve read the books (well, I guess not as long as some people but a few years for me already, somehow!) and I need to catch up on the TV show. I’d love to re-read these someday but maybe the show will have to suffice for reliving these books again!

It seems like fantasy is usually about royalty. I love your book picks! I haven’t read any of these, but almost all of them are on my TBR.
