Five lesser-known high fantasy books highlighted for readers

A roundup highlights five high fantasy novels that it says may be less familiar to many readers.

It selected books with at least four stars on Goodreads and between 3,000 and 10,000 ratings, then checked whether critics had also responded well.

One recommendation is The Crimson Queen by Alec Hutson, the first book in a trilogy called The Raveling.

The story follows a boy with unusual powers as magic returns to a world shaped by ancient disasters.

The book was a judges’ favorite at the 2016 Ink and Insights competition and competed in the 2017 SPFBO.

The roundup says reviewers praised its world-building and prose, and notes that it is available from retailers such as Amazon.
