The Daevabad Trilogy – S.A. Chakraborty

The Daevabad Trilogy is the most recent addition to this list, with the most recent book, The Empire of Gold, published last year. It may appear early to place it on a list of the finest fantasy book series of all time, but it is without a doubt one of the most thrilling series of recent years.

These are the novels for you if you appreciate your fantasy with a twist of alternate history. Our hero, Nahri, is a con woman who interprets palms and defrauds Ottoman aristocrats of their money in an alternative 18th century Ottoman Empire. During an exorcism, she summons a djinn, and so starts a voyage filled with magic, monsters, love, and a deadly civil war that threatens to rip the planet apart. So, if you didn't already know, the Daevabad Trilogy is set in the Middle East and Central Asia. It's a breath of fresh air to read a work of fantasy fiction that focuses on a major and unexpectedly underrepresented community.
