2020 READS TIER LIST! ( First Half )

assassin's apprentice which i thought was a good very good but probably my least favorite of the trilogy

assassin's quest is my favorite of three

this one this one is maybe my favorite abercrombie this in heroes are two so rock solid entries

bloody rose really great follow-up to kings of the wild not quite as strong as kings of the wild but still really good

i'm gonna put it just above reaper's gale for now

i wasn't the biggest fan of calibansaur i thought it was a clear step down from the expanse in a rather large way

it's the best of the dresden files it's tier for sure

this was a really cool you know oh next step for dresden i really like this one

i actually i like this one it was solid

i really like ghost story i enjoy this alternative take though i completely understand the dresden fans who don't love it as much

i totally support it being nominated for the awards that's being nominated for this year i'm excited for gideon the ninth right now

the more i think back on it the more it just gets yeah it's fine but i don't have any strong feelings

i don't think i like this one more than midnight tides if i remember correctly

there are a couple short stories in there i love but there's one or two that were kind of for me so i'm gonna keep it high c

jade city one of my best reviewed books of the year i adore it i'm going to put it right up there in s tier as well

the expanse this one's going to be an s tier for me it's gonna be just below sword of kaigen definitely my new like oh snap epic sci-fi space opera feeling going on really digging that

so malice i was solid on like did a good amount

midnight tides i did like this one more than reaper's gale if i recall correctly so i'll put that in a higher b

it just was not for me and if we're going on pure personal enjoyment is d

this is maybe what my new all-time favorite dystopian sci-fi it's so good and it predicted the future

the setup dresden files book a lot of set up for what's to come and it did its job so well i'm so excited for what is to come for dresden because of this book

i'm going to go ahead and throw it in b a lot of respect not a lot of personal enjoyment

for me this is going to be an a tier i liked it a good bit i liked this whole trilogy i didn't think there was a weak entry

scythe was one again i just felt was held back by being y a

i liked it i thought it was good i didn't love it so that's my overall thought there

six of crows it's gonna be another d tier for me it's just i get it but not for me not for me

skin game this is definitely an eight-tier dresden

i like this one more than i think most dark tower fans but i'm just gonna put it on top of b right now

i really did like this one a lot but man i still don't know how i feel about that ending

this is a really good classic high fantasy tale doesn't totally change the mould or anything but it's just well done and i think ahead of its time in some ways as well in terms of character

fifth season is good

it's still good for mark lawrence and still many of his strengths as an author shine brightly but personally i'm kind of looking at it like why couldn't you know

this one this one is maybe my favorite abercrombie this in heroes are two so rock solid entries

this actually still is in my upper echelon of reads for 2020.

the three body problem so good so fantastic

this sorceress is trash and i'm gonna put that in the new tier that i specifically made for fifth sorceress that's just called no that's bad no

brian lee dunphrey great first journey into writing and a good epic fantasy

tigana single-handedly raised the bar in a lot of ways for what i think a standalone fantasy novel could do

pull the hounds that's another malazan boy that i'm gonna put below if i remember correctly house of chains

white knight another solid dresden book i think this is actually one of my favorites if i remember correctly
