Icon Fast-Paced Fantasy Books?

Post by Rica Singh »

Can anyone recommend any fast-paced fantasy books? I've been trying to get into one for a long time, but everything I read gets annoying (mainly because of the characters). I've enjoyed books like Harry Potter, Sisters of Sword and Song, and Poison Study, though!

I just read the priory of the orange tree. It was sooo good, could not put it down.

Have you read any of the Jim Butcher Dresden Files? It's a series but I LOVE all of them and the first "slow" book is way past book ten. I think at least the first couple would fit exactly what you are looking for.

I thought of another one. Have you read Caraval by Stephanie Garber? I very much enjoyed this book. It is also a series with I believe three total. They all seem to be a quick-paced read, especially the first book.

I read a fantasy book a while ago. It was called "Wings" by Aprylinne Pyke.

I agree that it's really good book but I would not call it fast-paced.
