Well, you asked!
As a fantasy author, I am constantly asked about one thing. What are my favorite fantasy books? Good question. So, to alleviate any further questions on the subject (yeah right) I have decided to make a list of my top 10 favorite fantasy books. Now, as a general rule, I usually don't look at book series as multiple books. For me, a series is just one long book separated into many parts. So, when I list my favorites, I usually list series and not solo books. It would be hard to narrow down which book of each series I liked the most, so, I don't bother. :-)
These are in no particular order, except for the first one, which as of right now, is my favorite series by far. If you haven't read it. Shame on you! You will not be the same when you finish it. It will make other works seem like children's books.
1. Malazan Book of the Fallen
2. Kingkiller Chronicles
3. Shannara
4. Song of ice and fire
5. Reckoners
6. Riftwar cycle
7. Lightbringer
8. Mistborn
9. Deathgate Cycle
10. Stormlight Archives
Honorable mentions- Lord of the Rings, Runelords, Drizzt series, Black company and I'm sure there is more.
I would love to hear your top 10 fantasy books(series)
