While I was writing this list, I got lost in this fantasy world again. Throne of Glass has always been my weakness – it has a perfect balance of strength and vulnerability. The unpredictable energy of Cruel Prince hooks me every time. And the romance of Serpent & Dove is honestly addictive.
If you are in a mood to get away from reality for a while, then do try these books. Maybe this will become your soul escape too.
