Six Free Coming of Age Fantasy Books to Try

written by Betsy Flak on 2018-07-02

I finally finished The Mortal Instruments book series by Cassandra Clare, which means I'm on the hunt for a new series to read! This time, I checked out the coming of age section for both adults and teens/YA. My requirements were that book one was free, they had a minimum of a 4.3 average star rating and that the premise sounded interesting and a bit different from the other books. Check them out for yourself!

Make sure to check the price before you buy. As always, prices are subject to change!
