As big fans of fantasy novels, we at Books of Brilliance are always on the lookout for new fantasy novels. And what better way than looking at the newest releases. Many of these authors will be new to most readers and you won’t see most of these novels on the weekly bestseller lists. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t worth reading.

The fantasy genre is always changing and that is evident as romantasy novels dominate the charts. For the most part, fantasy has been a male-centric genre and we are finally seeing authors influenced by fantasy novels write fantasy novels that isn’t targeted towards men. And the success of these novels is reshaping what a fantasy novel is supposed to be.
Many of the authors on this list are female and this change means new perspectives and plots that haven’t been thought of.
