Hello, fellow bookworms! It is the end of August, and it has just flown by. This post is all about duologies! Five of the best duology books in fantasy to add to your TBR to be specific. Okay, okay, I won’t make this introduction too long let’s get started with
The 5 of the Best Duology Books in Fantasy (In No Particular Order)…
1. Wilderwood (For the Wolf/For the Throne) by Hannah Whitten
Of course, this has to be included on this list! The Wilderwood duology books (For the Wolf/For the Throne).
Her sister, the first daughter, is for the Throne, and as the only second daughter born in centuries, Red has only one purpose: to be sacrificed to the Wolf of the Wood hoping that he’ll return the world’s captured gods. What Red doesn’t expect is that everything she has been told is wrong. Her magic is not a curse and the is that the legend is a lie, and The Wolf is a man, not at all a monster. Red must learn to control her magic, and protect those from the monsters that gods have become.
This little Red Riding Hood retelling with a twist is one of the best duologies ever, and you have to add it to your to-be-read list!
2. Monsters of Verity (This Savage Song/Our Dark Duet) by V.E. Schwab
If you haven’t added the Monsters of Verity duology books to your to-be-read list yet, what are you waiting for!?
This story is set in a modern world that follows Kate and August, who are the best of friends. Heirs to a divided city, where violence has begun to breed actual monsters. For every crime that I committed a monster is created with varying levels of terror.
Kate would love to be as ruthless as her father, a man who lets monsters roam free, making humans pay for protection against them. And August is kind like his father, and he just wants to be human more than anything. You get to see the story of protection and love as the characters develop and grow.
What do you think should be on the Best in Fantasy duologies list?
3. Raybearer (Raybearer/Redemptor) by Jordan Ifueko
Next, is Raybearer and this list must include it! Tarisai is the result of her mother and a Jinn. Consequently, as a Jinn, her father was expected to fulfill wishes and as his child, she is expected to do the same. A task given to her by her absent mother, The Lady, has Tarisai at odds to befriend and kill the Crown Prince.
Overall, Tarisai wants nothing more than to belong and to be loved, but with the magical commitment that she has no choice to obey, can she be the pawn her mother wants her to be or be strong enough to choose her own path?
4. All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth/All the Tides of Fate)by Adalyn Grace
In a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaids seek out their vengeance with a simple song, and magic is a choice. Amora is the princess of the island kingdom of Visidia. She has spent her entire life training to be a master of souls — High Animancer, but for Amora, this was never her choice, she has to do this to secure her place as heir to the throne. When her demonstration goes terribly wrong she is forced to flee, striking a deal with a mysterious pirate named Bastian, but this deal doesn’t come without a price. Amora must conquer her magic, or risk the fate of Visdia, and lose her beloved crown forever.
It is so hard to see the end of the duologies list. Let us know what you would add in the comments!
5. Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer/Muse of Nightmare) by Laini Taylor
I am sure you need no introduction to this duology. In this one, we follow Lazlo Strange, an orphan and junior librarian, who has been obsessed with a mythological city called Weep. When Lazlo is presented with the opportunity to search for the lost city, it is a question that doesn’t need an answer, he would do whatever it takes to find the city he has dreamed of. The chance presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and its band of legendary warriors.
What happened in Weep two hundred years ago, that cut it off from the rest of the world? What did the Godslayer slay that goes by the name of god? Lazlo has to search for the answers, but while he does find some, more mysteries arise in their place.
There are many more that I would love to add to this list. Leave me a comment. Let me know what you want to add to this duology list!
Happy Reading!
