10 Must-Read Authors of All Time for Beginners

These 10 authors are my favorite writers of all time- and here is a guide on how to start with them (which are their best entre-level books and my favorite books of them).

After reading fantasy for the best part of the last 15 years, these 10 authors are my favorite. The ones that never miss to score 5-star reads!

Of course, a list like this is very nuanced- there are some great authors such as Robin Hobb or JR Tolkien that I haven't read enough to include them in my list!

After reading more than 400 fantasy books and being a fantasy reader for 10+ years, this is my ultimate guide to getting into fantasy. These 20 fantasy books are perfect for newbies, and readers that want to start reading fantasy (adult fantasy mainly, with 2 fantasy young adult books).

I will divide the guide based on different subgenres, allowing us to cover cozy fantasy, historical or magical realism, fantasy romance, and epic fantasy!
