Science fiction and fantasy readers can add box sets of popular series to their home libraries for cheap thanks to Amazon’s B2G1 free book sale. The promotion kicked off earlier this week ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, but while the latter ended October 9, the buy two, get one free sale ends October 12 at 11:59 PM PT. We’ve put together a list of notable novel box sets and collector’s editions up for grabs in Amazon’s sale. Most of the products on the list below include price cuts already, so when you throw in the B2G1 free offer, you wind up saving well over 50% on many books. Target is also running a B2G1 free sale for Circle members, so consider giving it a look if you don’t see a specific item listed on Amazon. Unlike official Big Deal Days offers, you don’t need a Prime membership to shop Amazon’s B2G1 free sale.

Best B2G1 Free Novel Box Sets at Amazon
Here’s a quick look at the most notable fantasy and science fiction box sets we found in Amazon’s B2G1 free book sale. Read on for full breakdowns of our favorite eligible sets:
Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings Leatherette Box Sets
This first list mostly features novel box sets in the $20-$35 range. Since all B2G1 free promotions offer the cheapest item free, it’s always beneficial to pick similarly priced books. The only outlier here is George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire Leather-Cloth Bound Box Set, which is available for $46 (was $85). This unique collection comes features a display case with compact editions of all five novels, bound in a hybrid of leatherette and cloth. It would pair very nicely with The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Leatherette Pocket Set for $34 (was $60). Tolkien fans will find even more cool editions of the author’s classic novels and other Middle-earth tales further down on this page.
Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn and Stormlight Archive Box Sets
If you’ve thought about exploring Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe, box sets featuring the first three novels in The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn provide a lot of reading material for cheap. Unsure which one to start with? Mistborn is an epic fantasy series with sci-fi elements and is a bit more approachable for first-time Sanderson readers, while Stormlight is more of a traditional high fantasy story. The Stormlight Archive Book 5, Wind and Truth, releases December 6 and is available to preorder for $24 (was $40) at Amazon.
Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy and Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Series
Speaking of new books in beloved series, it’s the perfect time to pick up Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach series, as the fourth book in the series, Absolution, will be published October 11. A single-volume hardcover of the Southern Reach Trilogy dubbed Area X is available for $22 (was $36).
If you like dystopian sci-fi, Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series has become immensely popular over the past few years. Six Red Rising books have released since 2014, with the seventh, final book still to come. You can catch up by grabbing a box set of the first three Red Rising novels for $32 (was $54). Four of the six books are eligible for Amazon’s B2G1 free promotion, so we’ve also listed the complete Red Rising series below. Note: Red Rising (Book 1) and Iron Gold (Book 4) are not included in the sale, but you may still want to buy the books individually instead, as you could get three books in the series for the same price as the box set and then buy Red Rising Book 1 for only $9.
Dune Saga – Deluxe Hardcover Box Set
Dune fans can pick up stunning editions of Frank Herbert’s original trilogy. The Dune Saga 3-Book Deluxe Hardcover Box Set includes hardcovers of Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. Each book has stained edges, gorgeous foil-stamped cover art, fully illustrated endpapers, and posters inside the dust jackets. You could pair this premium set with the Deluxe Collector’s Editions of Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1, and Book 2: Muad’Dib. Several standard edition Dune graphic novels are also included in the promotion alongside several standard edition hardcovers.
Stephen King’s The Dark Tower & More Novel Box Sets
To get the most savings with the Dune box set, you’d ideally want to snag books with comparable prices, such as The Dark Tower Box Set. This box set includes all eight novels in Stephen King’s epic dark fantasy series in trade paperback. And just like with Dune, the official graphic novel adaptation is eligible for B2G1 free. All three of the premium hardcover omnibus editions are discounted by 40%, but you can save an extra $52 if you add The Dark Tower: Beginnings, The Gunslinger, and The Drawing of the Three to your cart. For more deals on books by the modern master of horror fiction, check out our roundup of every Stephen King book eligible for B2G1 free.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s Illustrated Editions
Lord of the Rings fans who don’t own the popular Tolkien Illustrated Editions can get all three of them for only $87 thanks to the B2G1 free promotion. Tolkien Illustrated Editions of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion carry $75 list prices, but you’ll pay $29 per book right now. The main reason why these versions have become so popular is that each one is illustrated by Tolkien himself. They are beautifully designed, too. All three feature Elvish script across the stained page edges, a ribbon bookmark, the unabridged original text in red and black, two removable maps, and a handsome dust jacket.
