Ever wonder why certain fantasy books instantly click for you… while others just don’t?

It might not be the book. It might be you.

In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I’m matching fantasy book recommendations to common personality types, using the Myers-Briggs framework as a fun (and surprisingly accurate) way to think about reading taste.

We all see the world a little differently—and that shapes the stories we’re drawn to. Some readers crave structure and epic moral weight. Others want emotional depth, wild imagination, or nonstop momentum. Today, I take 10 of the most common personality types and pair each with two fantasy series that align beautifully with how those readers think, feel, and engage with story.

Whether you’re duty-driven, big-picture strategic, emotionally intuitive, or just here for the chaos and fun—there’s a fantasy series here that fits you.

📚 Series Featured in This Episode Include:

• The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

• The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

• The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

• Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson

• The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin

• The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

…and several more across classic, modern, epic, and urban fantasy.

💬 Comment below with your personality type—and whether these picks nailed your reading taste or totally missed the mark.
