..and you don’t know where to start? Today’s your lucky day! Because I just finished a great book inspired by chinese folklore and it inspired me to share some diverse fantasy books I’ve read (or I’ve been meaning to get to) this year
I know most fantasies are centered around european folklore, and there’s nothing really wrong with that (I do love Tolkien) but there’s also so many different cultures in the world with their own fairy tales and myths and all the folklore that most of us know nothing about! So this post is dedicated to those kinds of fantasies
All the covers have a link to the goodreads page so that you can add the book to your TBR with no trouble!

Love the Tensorate books! Another Asian-lore-inspired fantasy I liked was Soundless by Richelle Mead

I just saw The Girl from Everywhere today! Love the concept, so I do hope I get a chance to read it. Have you read Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao? Or Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne? I highly recommend those!
You should also check out A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna, and Our Bloody Pearl by D.N. Bryn. Happy reading!
