I’m an adult (technically), but YA is still my favourite genre and the one I usually read. But I’ve got a few adult suggestions and/or YA that an adult might like.

Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead. I’ve just started these, which I think are probably leaning more toward historical than fantasy, but they’re retellings of King Arthur and involve a lot of mythology/psuedohistory.

Brandon Sanderson comes strongly recommended by some, though I’ve personally only read his sci fi trilogy The Reckoners.

The Staff and the Sword by Patrick Carr. Not really anything particularly original or mind blowing, but adult fiction, clean and entertaining.

Anything by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I haven’t finished this yet and its not entirely clean, with a lot of language, but still has really good prose, in my opinion.

Ursula le Guin is supposed to be good and I’ve heard a lot about her YA books, which are mostly sitting unread on my shelf.

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. A YA debut and really good. At least, I really enjoyed it. African fantasy, which makes it out of the box and very fresh.

Fawkes, Romanov and the Out of Time series by Nadine Brandes. YA, but my mum enjoyed them (Romanov hasn’t released yet though).

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. I hope there’s at least a few there you haven’t read. 🙂
