Schwab: The invisible life of Addie Larue kzbin.info/www/bejne/injVcoGalq1-qrM RF Kuang: The Poppy War "Ken Liu: The grace of kings" and "The wall of storms" (well-crafted stories) Fonda Lee: Jade city Rosaria Munda: Fireborne Andy Weir: Project Hail MAry James Islington: The will of the many Adrian Tchaikovsky: Guns of the dawn ML Wang: The sword of Kaigen (a slow burn: takes a long time to get good, but when it does, it gets really good) Brandon Sanderson: Oathbringer (great ending, nuanced main characters)

[@antonbystrom5667]

My number 1 is really easy, it's the Wheel of Time book series, not even close. Mostly for the world building and the caracter development, even though the story is also great, it's not the main thing. The number 2 and down is alot harder, but some that for sure makes the list is Robbin Hobb, Trudy Caravan, Sarah J Maas, and Brandon Sandersson. I would also include Tolkien, JRR Martin, and Terry Pratchet. I was a bit to old when the Harry Potter books came out, otherwise I think J.K Rowling would have made my list.

[@favrewanab]

Oathbringer is a very good book and it's tragically underrated in my opinion. But it's not my favorite Stormlight book; that honor still goes to The Way of Kings which is in my top 10 all time. Currently my top 10 goes like this: 10. The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan 9. The Great Hunt by Jordan 8. The Gathering Storm by Jordan/Sanderson 7. The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie 6. The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson 5. The Way of Kings by Sanderson 4. The Heroes by Abercrombie 3. Legend by David Gemmell 2. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 1. The Shadow Rising, The Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos by Jordan Technically that's my top 12, lol. The top 3 have been tied for my favorite book since 1997 and I don't ever see them changing. I power read the first 7 books of WoT in just a few weeks; missing hours upon hours of sleep and laying out of work so much I almost got fired just so I could read those books because I was so enamored with the characters, the world and the story. Never had another reading experience like it. Obviously WoT is my favorite series and I doubt that will ever change.

[@Mahi-dw2vd]

Read will of the many some said it compares to name of the wind (don't go with much expectations tho it might be not that good tho)I personally haven't read it just read some reviews

Can never go wrong with Lord Grimdark. Last Argument of kings is an excellent mind-blower.

[@chiefsilverstacker1176]

No LOTR!! Wow

[@favrewanab]

@@chiefsilverstacker1176 those are solid 4 star books to me. Like many people I read them in my early years. Still love them but in my opinion many more modern works have surpassed them. If we are talking about works that have affected the genre then they are definitely top 10. But this is my personal top 10 and they are nowhere close.

[@MrAelin]

Its interesting how the top 10 of fantasy books is so different between men and women. Women love more emotional stories and men like action, wars and such. Lotr, Malaz, game of thrones or the first law trilogy didn't even reach the honourable mentions. Not even Terry Pratchett or 80's classic fantasy books.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Indeed! I haven’t read much grimdark yet and I still have Malaz pending!! I have read and loved some Discworld books but I am afraid not many yet!

[@drzander3378]

You’d be hard pressed to read a more gripping tale than Raymond E. Feist’s ‘Magician’. Absolutely brilliant! Some of the story arcs and character development may seem familiar but that’s because so many authors were inspired by ‘Magician’.

I have watched maybe 7-8 top 10's this week and this has not been mentioned once. Incredible. Jimmy the Hand, Erik von Darkmoor, Caleb, Kaspar, Tal to name a few. The 1st book is a masterpiece on it's own.

[@writeheroics7490]

I was searching for Fantasy book lists and found this video. How do you define 'Fantasy'? I ask because I'm pretty sure I remember Red Rising and Project Hail Mary as clearly classified as Science Fiction. When you say Fantasy, do you simply translate that as, Speculative Fiction (captures multiple genres)?

[@ricardogranados4381]

I love the ocean at the end of the lane. One of my favorite books. Glad to see it receiving some love.

[@KaijaKFanpages]

Just finished Brandon Sanderson's fourth book of the Stormlight Archive, Rhythm of War, and I have to agree with Sanderson's placement on the top of the list. Fabulous author with truly mesmerizing and heartfelt stories.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Ahhh it is so great, I can’t wait for book 5 🥹

[@leezae3183]

I totally agree with your ranking of The Will Of The Many. It was my favourite read of last year and was quiet comparable to Name of the Wind (which in my humble opinion is the best academia trope execution, besides Harry Potter). I didn't expect those scifi elements at the end of the book and despite it reading in first person view, I actually enjoyed the protagonists inner monologue. His struggles were very realistic. The only character I didn't enjoy was his romantic interest (can't remember her name right now). Felt like her character wasn't flushed out enough. Like I don't think they even told us her eye/hair color. She was sweet but flat at the same time.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Si happy to read that you also loved The Will of the Many!! I can’t wait for book 2!

[@fabiotoni7098]

No mention of Dragonlance legends by M.Weiss and T.Hickman or the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett? Nor the hobbit or the Lord of the rings?

[@CANDROU1]

Seriously. Dragonlance and Lord of the Rings have to be on any list

[@evrencp]

Brandon’s books are truly in a league of his own. I love most of the books you mentioned in the video. However, two books made me love fantasy, after The Lord of the Rings when I was a kid. They don’t often appear in KZbin recommendations, but they are special in my heart: The Soulforge by Margaret Weis and Homeland by R.A. Salvatore.

good list. Haven't read some of them, but will definately check them out. always looking for a good read. My personal favorites in this genre have been "IOncarnations of immortality" series from Isaac Asimov, and The Coldfire trilogy from Celia S. Friedman. Although one could argue that Asimov's series isn't fantasy. it is just a good read.

[@ozosborn1578]

This is such an eclectic list! Added several of these to my TBR, thanks! Your eclecticism implies you'd probably really enjoy Katherine Arden's Winternight Trilogy, a fantasy slant arising out of Russian folklore. More fantasy readers need to know about this series! I also want to reassure you about Malazan - you are one who wants to *feel* characters, and oh boy, do you FEEL in this series! There's simply nothing else like it. GotM - 1st book - is in fact the weakest of the 10 IMO. Books 2 and 3 are among the greatest books I have ever read, in any genre.

You also have made me even more excited to read the dandelion dynasty and the sword of Kaigen.

A Game of thrones (obviously... This is a no brainer) 6. Mistborn (To be read before the dark tower series) 7. Kingkiller chronicles (The only drawback is that the third book of the trilogy is still being cooked. But I honestly don't know why Rothfuss isn't taking this seriously as much as I am...) 8. You know there's no list without Malazan book of the fallen 9. Shadow of the wind by carloz zaffon (it's a standalone novel but might be the best book I've read to be frank) 10. The GOAT is none other than Stormlight archive ( I mean come on, it can't get much better than this. Even so, the focus on world building, lore and the magic system is a bit overwhelming but It wouldn't be Stormlight without it, right? Oh and the stand is connected to the dark tower series. So you should read gunslinger and go from there. LOTR too, but it's hard to narrow down to 10 so yeah...

Just starting Words of Radiance, the story really feels like it is expanding to give an even better view of this world and it's peoples.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Yay for you!!!! I hope you love the story! Book 3 is so outrageously great!

[@bobkeane7966]

@@FunFantasyBooks It's great when you don't want the story to end

[@mrkingdom6683]

OMG, you have got to continue with Red Rising series. It gets better and better.

[@reubenwachs]

Fantastic video thank you

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thank you!!

[@nickt463]

The series i got hooked on was Cradle. It has an amazing magic type system. I will admit the first book is a little boring, but the 12 book series is finished, and it's a masterpiece imo

I wish I could get the trade size I have to read the kindle edition for now

[@robinvandermeulen9736]

My all time favourite: Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. Fantasy meets History

[@edgaracajabon9522]

Personally l liked the Wayfarer Redemption series and the Coldfire trilogy by CS Friedman. Also liked even if it's so underrated is the Chronicles of Blood and Stone.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@ayushyt762]

Hey I really like your recommendation, But it's just my selfish desire but how about you dive deeper, how about you can reach more people . Feel free to ignore this content ideas, - lifestyle based content ( i..e. reading habits where you explain many things - how to read consistently / how to maintain reading habits in busy schedule ) - blindfolded book read - go a bookstore and buy a particular amount of book with blindfolded do watch Haley videos for more reference - ranking low rated books - you pick this books with low rated reviews and rank them - there a lot more but this will do for a while, moreover you more ideas of your own ) Btw I brought dark matters from your recommendation videos , I plan to read it after Red Rising

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thank you so much for the ideas! Really appreciate them!

My favorite fantasy series was Wheel of Time for a long time... Now it is The Wandering Inn.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Oh really! I’ve heard wonders! Should give it a try!

[@AnonforYeshua77777]

Do you think some book tubers are paid off and reccomendong books they shouldnt or havent read ?

[@FunFantasyBooks]

@@AnonforYeshua77777 ummmm I can’t of course talk about every booktuber, but for the ones I know - this is not something any of us do! So I’d say if it’s done, it’s definitely not a common practice!

[@alganhar1]

The only problem with the Wheel of Time series is it was not finished by Robert Jordan, who unfortunately died before he could finish it. I believe it was his wife and a close friend of the family who wrote most of book 14, but do not quote me on that. Another favourite of mine is the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erickson. Probably not for everyone. The author was trained as both an Archaeologist and Anthropologist, and it shows. Superbly written, but be warned if you pick this series up. It is deliberately written to be confusing in many cases for most of the series. Its only in the last couple of books that these big reveals come from what seems like nowhere, but were foreshadowed in book three or four, and even then some things are left deliberately vague. Its a ten book series, and finishing the last book left me feeling... huh! Kind of muted I know but I was still getting my head around it at the time! It was a Huh of shock, how did I not see that earlier! If that sounds like its for you pick it up,

[@h.s.l6875]

I would recommend Guy Gabriel Kay, he has beautiful political/alternative history books. It's especially grrat for men who think about the roman empire ;)

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thank you so much for recommending!!

I love your videos ❤

Poppy War for the win. We discussed how the anger that the book brings out that makes it better .

[@shelleyaultman1193]

I read her book, Babel, and knew I had found a great writer. I'm reading The Poppy War trilogy next. I'd like to recommend The Sparrow and sequel Children of God by Mary Doria Russell..my favorite sci-fi/fantasy of all time. Please check it out.

[@sumanpani]

@@shelleyaultman1193 thank you for the recommendation. Will surely check them out

[@Dre_WritesYT]

A song of ice and fire (game of thrones) is probably my favorite series
