Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish where we get a new topic for a top 10 list.
Just a warning, this post was written at the very last minute before heading out for the day, so I’m keeping it short and sweet. This weeks topic is all about those fictional worlds we’d love to visit. We are spoiled for options this week, but these were the first five locations to come to mind when I saw this topic.
1. Red London, Shades of Magic Trilogy: Who wouldn’t want to visit this location? Magic oozes from Red London and every time you step into that world there’s this wonderful aura to it. Plus, you might even run into a certain prince. 😉
2. Ketterdam, Six of Crows: I want to try these waffles everyone keeps raving about. Specifically, I want to have waffles with Nina and Inej. Now, Ketterdam is not known for its friendliness, but if I succeed in befriending Wylan and Jesper then surely I can get the protection of Kaz by association.
3. Cabeswater, The Raven Cycle: Again, when this magical enigma wasn’t being poisoned, there was this sense of tranquility within this magical realm. Don’t get me wrong, this location could easily mess with someone’s head, but with the right company, I’m sure you can have some fun here.
4. Herran, The Winner’s Trilogy: It’s my OTP’s home. Now that peace has been secured in Herran there’s nothing I’d love more than to explore the streets of this land. I suck at horseback riding, but I’m willing to give it a shot, especially with the right coach. Plus, some of the villas in this location are simply stunning and so lush.
5. Middle-Earth, The Lord of the Rings: How can you not want to visit Middle-Earth. You have so many locations to visit and a range of interesting folk to meet along the way. From The Shire to Rivendell, Lothlorien, Rohan, Gondor, you are spoiled for choices. Or, alternatively, you can always head on over to New Zealand for a taste of this magical realm. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Those are my top fantasy destinations?
If you could choose one fictional setting to visit, what would it be?
Red London is also on my list!

As much as I love Ketterdam, I don’t think I look neeeeearly tough enough not to get screwed at one point or another. Just sayin’ … maybe the Dregs would even be the ones to rip me off.

haha right. This is why I’d need to befriend Wylan cause he’d offer his protection and by association the Dregs would hopefully leave me alone.

Why are you so set to befriend Wylan? You could befriend pretty much any one of them or do you just think he would be the easiest?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I’d want to befriend all of them, but Wylan seems to be the one most likely to open his door to us haha.

I would definitely want to visit all of these … BUT definitely after peace has been achieved and the OTPs are living HEA! Otherwise, nope! I would die the minute I set foot there.

I’d quite happily share a glass or two of wine with our darling prince and his companions haha. I feel like with Cabeswater I’d have to have a tether or something so I could guide myself back.

All my pocks would be small towns set in contemporary pr romance books. I just love small towns like the ones in Gilmore Girls.

I feel like because I’m currently in that small town (village) setting I want to be more daring and explore the world beyond our little bubble.

The world of A Darker Shade of Magic is so complex and SO well written. I highly enjoyed that book, together with the rest of the world, probably. Really nice picks 🙂

There’s so many layers to that world and a lot of secrets left to uncover so I am thrilled that we’re getting another series set in the same universe.

I like the idea of visiting Cabeswater, but I don’t know if I’d actually want to do it. It might be too scary!

If we had a group and a guide (preferably one of our Raven Boys and Blue) we’d be able to navigate it just fine.

Cabeswater is so interesting but it also kinda…creeped me out a little bit. I think I’d be too much of a baby to venture around in it by myself. Great list!!!
