Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the fabulous girls at The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is the Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books. Let's do this!


As far as fantasy books go, Graceling offers a thrilling and beautiful one backdrop.


I love the setting for THRONE OF GLASS. I can't help but picture lavish castles made of glass and gorgeous starry nights.


The setting is based not only in Prague but also in this otherworld filled with chimera. I loved both like whoa.


I hearted the setting in this entire series, especially the Summer Court. I kept imaging flowers floating everywhere and little glimmers of sunshine.


There's something about the gothic setting of Gatlin that makes my insides melt.


Again, love settings for fantasy novels and anything that involves magic.


Hello, it's in Paris! Merci!


I love that this little town is surrounded by the ocean. I mean, sure there's killer horses, but it's still awesome.


To me, this book has a bit of an Arabian nights-Aladdin feel to it. Stunning to say the least.


Imagine giant plants that can eat you, a man who can chance his appearance to his surroundings, and a woman who can take away someone's pain with a simple touch. To say this world is magical is an understatement.





And there you have it! What are some of your favorite settings? Do you like any of mine?! Let me know!

  8. I'd add Scadrial, from the Mistborn trilogy. Maybe not YA in the strict sense, but awesome books and very enjoyable for anyone over 13 or so.

  11. I love that you picked The Scorpio Races. I loved the secluded island setting in that novel; it was so vividly described, I felt like it could be a real place.
