The legal ways to read YA fantasy ebooks for free are library apps, public-domain classics, limited-time free promotions on Kindle, and authors’ own free starter libraries. Here is what each one gives you, and where to start on this site.
Where to read free YA fantasy ebooks legally
- Your library, through Libby. Libraries that use it lend ebooks and audiobooks free with a library card, and its catalog carries both YA and adult fantasy, so it is the one place to look if you read across both. What you can borrow depends on your library, and popular titles can have a waiting list.
- Public-domain classics, through Project Gutenberg. Free, with no sign-up, but limited to older books whose copyright has expired, so it will not have recent YA series.
- Limited-time free promotions on Kindle. Authors and publishers set a book to free for a few days, which is how the five books further down this page were offered. The free list changes often, so check back.
- Authors’ free starter libraries. Some authors give away first books or samples to readers who join their list; the one on this site is below.

From the archive: the Chinese New Year giveaway
This is the original giveaway post, from when these books went free for a limited time. Their free promotion may have ended, so check each book’s page for the current offer.
It’s Chinese New Year in Taiwan, after getting stuffed on steamed fish, broiled pork and ginger chicken soup, we handed each other red envelopes stuffed with cash, then went to the temple to get blessed.
I wanted to share the magic, so I set up some giveaways for Chinese New Year:

We really want you to read these books, because we’re working on the sequels and plan to complete each series in 2020 – please post a review if you like them so we can see which one is your favorite!
The Books:
PS. These are free for a limited time only – but after that they’re all in Kindle Unlimited; look for the boxsets of the completed series to get the best deal!
RECENT FANMAIL:
“I recently read the Falling Kingdom Series and Vampire Deception and was so overwhelmed by a feeling of “where has this been all my life?!” that I felt I had to say something. Hopefully encouraging and nice without sounding patronising. It’s genuinely fun young adult urban fantasy. Basically I love what you and your talented co-authors have created and wanted to thank you all for bringing some light into a life… even if it means spending some of it staring longingly at The Changeling Rebellion on my Kindle because I really need to read it but I’m scared of forgetting everything before book 3 drops (alas for the sieve-brained; Urban Epics stories are incredibly binge-worthy.) You sir, and your Urban Epics comrades, are awesome.”
We LOVE hearing feedback from you! Please keep it up. 🙂
WORK IN PROGRESS...
