Absolutely loved Shadow and Bone! I read it last month and fully intend on reading the rest of the Grisha Trilogy now. I also read Storm Siren last year and thought that was pretty good as well.
A bunch of books on your list are also on my TBR pile / wishlist, too. The Girl of Fire and Thorns, Finnikin of the Rock, Daughter of the Forest… I’ve also been meaning to read more of Tamora Pierce’s work.
Haven’t heard of Dragonswood before, so I’m reading the synopsis on Goodreads now. It sounds pretty good! I’m currently writing an epic fantasy novel with life-size fairy characters, so I’ve been looking for novels like this for comparison purposes.
Nemo
I’ve been meaning to read Storm Siren – the author sent me a signed copy! But I’m so so scared I’m not going to love it. I know, I’ve put it on a pedestal! I should just bite the bullet and read it ASAP!
I’m glad I helped you find a book for your research!

I love fantasy!!!! I think I shall happily read all of these! ^_^

Ahhh. Shadow and Bone is the one I really need to get too. It hasn’t got too much hype like some of the other YA books but I definitely have heard really good things about it and I can’t wait to get my hands on it! The others are all new to me but The Girl of Fire and Thorns looks interesting so I might have to look into that one :3 You’ve got a wonderful list here!
Here’s my Top Ten
Nemo
Thanks Nattie! Yeah, I just have too many on the list – how do you pick which one to read first?
Nattie N
I have a TBR jar that I pick from sometimes but I usually look at my to-read list and pick whichever read I’m most desperate to read :3
Nemo
I could never commit to a TBR jar. I’d pick out a book and go, Nah, I don’t want to read that right now.

I haven’t read a lot of fantasys but I want to read Leigh Bardugo’s series. I have seen a lot of top 10 fantasy books on peoples lists.

I’ve only actually read one of these – Terrier, but I really liked it. A few of these are on my to read list, but I know exactly what you mean about not enough time. As for the rest of them…you’ve got several books on this list that I’ve never even heard of, so I’m off to read abut them. Hope you enjoy these books once you finally have time to read them.
Nemo
Glad to see you’ve endorsed Terrier! I’ve been meaning to read it for years!
Amanda
Finnikin is so wonderful! If you like fantasy I think you’d love it. The series is so wonderful and heartbreaking and fabulous! I’m off to look up your other series!
Nemo
Actually I tried listening to the audiobook of Finnikin, but it was too heavy and involved for me to concentrate on my work, so I had to give it up and find a physical copy.
Elizabeth
I need to read a couple of these books too LOL!
