I'm so excited to welcome BC Powell, author of The Journals of Krymzyn series. This series features two of my favorite book covers-- they are simply stunning.
My Top 5 Fantasy Reads
by BC Powell
5. “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine
L’Engle. This was one of the first fantasy books written with a strong, young,
female protagonist, and I would say it is the “godmother” of the modern YA
fantasy genre. L’Engle’s prose is beautiful and flowing, her characters are rich
and complex, and some very deep issues are examined in this story. It was one
of the first fantasy books I ever read, and it’s still one of my favorites.
4. “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”
by C.S. Lewis. This book opened my mind to the world of fantasy as a young
reader. It’s an amazing story with characters that keep you deeply involved
throughout the course of the journey. I enjoyed the entire “Chronicles of
Narnia” series, but the first book is a masterpiece.
3. “The Gunslinger” by Stephen King. The
first time I read this book, I couldn’t put it down. It was mysterious in a way
that ignited my imagination and takes the reader into a dark, deeply compelling
mood. Unfortunately, after the first three books, the “Dark Tower” series
really fell apart for me. But the first book is one of the most enjoyable
reading experiences of my life.
2. “Dune” by Frank Herbert. In my
opinion, this is the best science fiction fantasy book ever written. I know
that’s not going out on limb since so many others would agree, but this book
opened my mind to the amazing possibilities of fantasy and sci-fi. If you enjoy
fantasy and/or sci-fi but haven’t read this book, put it at #1 on your TBR. The
story is truly mind-boggling while also making a very strong social commentary.
1. “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R.
Tolkien. Fantasy just doesn’t get any better than this. I was seventeen the
first time I picked it up. I didn’t sleep or bathe and barely ate until I
finished the books. The stunning imagery, depth of the characters, and their
amazing journeys makes this, in my opinion, and unequaled fantasy read.
Well, he managed to pick some of my favorite fantasies :)
How about you? What are some of your favorite fantasy reads?
My favorite is The Belgariad series by David Eddings, followed closely by Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn.

Evil lurks in the desolate Barrens of Krymzyn. For millions of Eras, predators with insatiable cravings have prowled the wasteland. When a traitor of the Delta enters their realm, the solitary beasts may finally have a leader to unite them.
As a new order emerges in the Barrens, Chase and Sash begin their lives together. While Chase fights to prove he belongs in Krymzyn, the power inside Sash flourishes in ways no one could have imagined. But a vengeance from the wasteland is soon unleashed upon them.
After Chase is trapped deep in the Barrens, his only escape is into the Infinite Expanse. Unaware of the deathly perils that take shape there, he may be lost forever. For Sash to return him from the endless wilderness, she’ll have to harness a mystical energy not seen since the beginning of time.
Don't miss book one!
