This thread is extensive and very useful! Since it has been a long time since you started this thread, I was wondering if you have any specific recommendations for someone of my level (B1) that have strong storylike/mythological elements. For example, I like The Lord of the Rings in English, but I do not think I could read it in French (yet - I did ask for Le Hobbit for Christmas). But the general feeling of LOTR/Chronicles of Narnia is something I would like to find in French, original or translated. Maybe you have some ideas?
Thank you and I hope all is well!
Le crepuscule des elfes by Jean Louis Fetjaine reminded me a little of Fellowship of the Ring. I think there would be quite a lot of unknown words, but it's available as an eBook so you could easily look them up!
Les Enchantments d'Ambremer by Pierre Pevel is a fantasy/steampunk novel with an engaging lead character, I didn't like the others in the series as much, but this one was good fun. Again available as an eBook.
