Prince of Stars, Son of Fate by H.L. Burke

The balance between our world and a parallel fantasy realm was explored in a unique and humorous manner in this book, which distinguishes it from many others in the genre.

Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Portal Fantasyįor awhile I wouldn’t touch any books that looked like they might have a scene where characters could have a conversation in front of a locker because those stories seemed so overdone, but this isn’t a typical high school novel. Lost in Averell by Tara Grayceįind Lost in Averell on Amazon (affiliate link) With the feel of a fairy tale, this delightful story features a heroine with strong convictions about what is right and was so refreshing in a book market saturated with bad compromises. The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Nobleįind The Mermaid’s Sister on Amazon (affiliate link) You can find more details and an interview here.

Again, the characters take center stage in wrestling with tough conflicts like weighing the value of truth versus their own needs. It’s an action-packed quick read with a lot of heart. This holds a special place in my heart since I had the privilege of beta reading it for a dear friend. Genres: Young Adult, Science Fiction, Novella The characters are the gem of this series, embodying wonderful truths such as the importance of choosing your thoughts deliberately and that love is a choice. This is a clean, sweet romance in a rich fantasy setting that pairs magical elves with quasi-steampunk humans. This is the book series that converted me to e-reading because after I read the sample, I couldn’t wait for a print book to come in the mail to keep reading. The Elven Alliance by Tara Grayceįind The Elven Alliance on Amazon (affiliate link)īooks to date: Fierce Heart, War Bound, Death Wind, Troll Queen If you’re looking for some recommendations, here are a few clean young adult fantasy and adult fantasy books I’ve enjoyed within the last year (in the order I read them). While it’s up to your preference, it’s important to be discerning about which books you read in either genre to avoid books with harmful content. In my previous post, I discussed whether teens should read young adult or adult fiction. Looking for some clean fantasy books? Then keep reading!
