The cruel prince
Caraval
Once upon a broken heart
These books got me into fantasy and I think they are pretty easy to understand and read

A lot of the time fantasy books are interconnected series but if you’re new to the genre it’s better to start with short series (duology/trilogy). Fantasy books also pack a lot of information. There are also sub genres like epic, urban, historical, romantic� it depends on which one you’re interested in trying

☆₊⁺ kenzy ₊⁺★ | 13 comments i'd say start with something that's low fantasy yet entertaining and then explore after that more higher fantasy levels. so maybe powerless by lauren roberts to start off!! <3

Cassidy | 324 comments Like others have said- ACOTAR is a great place to start because it’s easily digestible. I would also suggest magical realism as a starting point! These are stories that take place in a modern world but have magical elements, so the world building is much easier. Ashley Poston does great magical realism; I recommend The Seven Year Slip.

Or even Harry Potter or Twilight!
