We’ve all read epic fantasy stories, but some books stand out because of their unique worlds, magic systems, or storytelling style. What’s the most original fantasy book you’ve ever read, and what made it so special? Let’s share hidden gems and discuss why they deserve more attention!

Tough one..I haven’t read many fantasy books but I’d say EverCursed is a really good one!

The Redemption of Althalus
by david and leigh endings

In the way of the peaceful warrior by Dan Millman
his mentor, Socrates, took his essence,
carried it through the veil of time
to learn, to see, to unearth the unseen.
He watched himself wither, dissolve,
his bones returned to the soil,
his breath woven into the lives that followed,
proof that change lingers long after flesh fades.

He listened—not only to words,
but to the silence between them,
where suffering whispers, where hearts scream unheard.
A thousand voices buried in the void,
waiting for someone to finally listen.

Unhappiness—an illusion forged in the mind,
a prison built by thought,
yet within it, the key remains.

This story planted a seed within me
not to craft the grandest epic,
not to weave the most intricate magic,
but to give voice to the voiceless,
to unearth the echoes of the silenced.
For peace is not found in conquest,
nor in power or perfection
yet in walking the path of the moment
listening, learning, and setting the soul free.

Happiness is the satisfaction of desires
simplify your life
& the easier it will be.

This book gave me the ability to find inner peace in a world of ruin and a trauma filled past, this book was a light in the dark.
P.S this is referring to the fantasy moments not the story as a whole.

For me, it's the song of ice and fire series

The eighth day — ok I know it’s basically a middle grade book but I think the whole magic system with the Arthur pendragon mythology and tattoos was so refreshing :) plus the lively narration

Strange the Dreamer. It was amazing.

The Lock Eater, Spindlefish And Stars, This Golden Flame, Babel.

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco. I've yet to read another book like it!

Carve the mark!!! i swear the world building was crazy i thought i WAS there

Percy Jackson- Rick thought of everything. I know they're for 10 year olds but still. I re-read them every other year and love them more everytime.

Honestly, I think TJ Klune's books are so unique for the fantasy genre.

I loved that series!!

Eighteen-year-old Emily Cormac’s quiet life in rural Ireland shatters when she discovers a hidden journal belonging to her late grandmother—a record of a secret world where luminous Sprites and their corrupted kin, the Vamprites, wage an endless war for balance.
Drawn into this conflict through a fateful bond with Lumina, a courageous Nateeri Sprite, Emily is thrust into a realm of ancient prophecies, elemental tribes, and deadly trials. The key to both salvation and ruin lies in the Prism—a fragment of the first dawn, capable of amplifying the Sun’s power or extinguishing it forever.
From the fire-swept deserts of Wadi Rum to volcanic fortresses and sacred groves, Emily and her newfound allies—warriors, hunters, and bonded champions—must survive treacherous landscapes, unearth the truth about a lost sixth tribe, and outwit Tiernan, the ruthless Vamprite king who will stop at nothing to claim the Prism.
But as friendships deepen and loyalties are tested, Emily’s heart is torn between the warmth of a rising love and the shadows cast by betrayal. The fate of both the mortal and magical worlds rests on her ability to unite light and darkness before the balance is lost forever.
A sweeping tale of magic, sacrifice, and destiny, Symbiosis of Light & Shadow blends rich world-building, pulse-pounding battles, and heartfelt emotion into an epic fantasy adventure where every choice tips the scales between dawn and eternal night.
