What'S Popular On BookTok Right Now For Fantasy Novels?

BookTok is absolutely buzzing with fantasy novels right now, and it’s hard to keep up with all the hype. One title that’s dominating the conversation is 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros. It’s got everything—dragons, a brutal military academy, and a slow-burn romance that’s got readers hooked. The way Yarros blends high-stakes action with emotional depth is just chef’s kiss. People are raving about the world-building and the chemistry between the main characters, Violet and Xaden. It’s the kind of book that keeps you up at night, flipping pages until you’re done.

Another big one is 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' by Sarah J. Maas. Even though it’s not new, it’s having a massive resurgence on BookTok. The series is a rollercoaster of emotions, with its mix of romance, political intrigue, and fae lore. Fans are obsessed with the character development, especially Feyre’s journey from a struggling huntress to a powerful figure in the fae world. The fan art and theories flooding TikTok are insane—it’s like a whole community has sprung up around this series.

Then there’s 'The Priory of the Orange Tree' by Samantha Shannon. This epic standalone fantasy is getting a lot of love for its intricate plot and diverse cast of characters. It’s a feminist retelling of dragon lore with a sapphic romance at its core. The pacing is slower compared to some other fantasy novels, but the payoff is worth it. BookTokers are praising its lush descriptions and the way it subverts traditional fantasy tropes. If you’re into sweeping, high-fantasy sagas, this one’s a must-read.

Right now, BookTok is all about 'The Atlas Six' by Olivie Blake. It’s a dark academia fantasy with a twisty plot and morally grey characters. The story follows six magically gifted individuals competing for a spot in a secret society, and the tension is off the charts. What makes it stand out is the way it delves into the characters’ psyches—it’s not just about magic but also about power, ambition, and betrayal. The writing is sharp and intellectual, which has drawn in a lot of readers who love a challenge. Plus, the cliffhanger ending has everyone desperate for the sequel. Another hot pick is 'Legends & Lattes' by Travis Baldree. It’s a cozy fantasy about an orc who retires from adventuring to open a coffee shop. The low-stakes, heartwarming vibe is a refreshing change from the usual high-drama fantasy. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a comforting read with a touch of magic.
