Wyrd and Wonder: Fountain of Youth

After mucking around in the Icy Waters of Waiting for the Next Book, I decided it was time to say goodbye. Next up is the Wyrd and Wonder Fountain of Youth! While on this conglomerate of islands I’ll mention some books that feature immortal characters. Thinking back on what I’ve read, I suppose I’ve read a fair amount that fall into this category.

Synopsis

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses

I think this series needs little introduction. If you want to read my reviews, you can check out the first one here, then use the search bar on my blog to find the others.

Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. MaasHouse of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. MaasHouse of Flame and Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

I think this is another SJM series that needs little introduction. Especially if you read within the same genre I do (mainly fantasy). I didn’t write reviews for these, but there are plenty floating out there.

And that’s it for my stop at the Fountain of Youth! What books have you read that have immortal characters?

  1. I haven’t read a huge amount with immortal characters. Sometimes, there have been series where it has turned out that a character is actually an immortal and that can annoy me although I couldn’t say why that’s the case. Two series that I have read are the Belgariad by David Eddings and the Riftwar series by Raymond Feist both of which feature an immortal sorcerer. I guess LOTR would fit that category too. ????

  2. This is a great list. Vampires are always my favorite immortal creatures. I would also add Vicious by V.E. Schwab, which I haven’t read in years but I’m pretty sure the main characters figured out a way to become immortal.

  3. I adore books about vampires and the fae so I’m horrified to admit that I’ve only read one series from the ones listed here (ACOTAR) although I do really hope to get to Crescent City and hopefully get A Dowry Of Blood out of the library this year. Oh and the Jennifer Armentrout series, I really want to check that out ????

    I adore Addie LaRue which takes a totally different approach to immortality. And I’ve read lots of different vampire books.
