Tier Ranking EVERY Fantasy Book!

Salem's Lot is a classic for a reason it's great I mean I wish we got more vampire books like Salem's Lot

it is such a good premise executed almost flawlessly

this was a brilliant Standalone read for the science fiction genre it has a lot of atmosphere a lot of great thoughts

I love V Schwab I do not like darker shade of magic she has won me over with her other work but not this one

a little hatred is going to go right there

wizard of Earth C this is going to be an easy s tier it is Escapist cozy fantasy that doesn't feel like you're being wrapped in a blanket

Neil Gaiman is so good with imagery without having to be like explicitly detailed he's really good at getting like with minimal words just a Vivid scene

this one good smart definitely not for everybody slow paced basically no action but genius

this is really bad this is my least favorite Andy Weir book and it's going low D for sure

the only reason it's not an S is because I've seen what's done in ashes of man done better in previous Sun eater books

which is not bad I remember it and it was and I mean this as a compliment as someone who loves the genre it was an average science fiction book

this has so much to say and I really love how Quang didn't step back from being as political as ever and in fact use this setting specifically to get more overt more political

there are things to enjoy it's not a total failure but it is the cracks in the artwork coming through and that not a fan

probably my favorite standalone abui book easy s tier pick no question

this was one that I respected more than I enjoyed and I think it's going to probably be a b tier for me

really solid relationship at the center of it a lot of Personality kind of Punky in a way it just needed a technical edit and it needed polish and maybe to be a bit longer as well

over time I've come to not love bloody Rose as much as I do kings of the wild

I still like it is a good book it proved yes you can make sequels here but you didn't have to

I made a lot of mistakes in breach of peace I am giving myself a very low C tier

a classic and one that I think holds up really well

Children of Dune still weird still good weird Dune

Cur pirate girl is not really about the story it's an art display and it's good at being an art display

I love what's going on just boom let's put it

this was another extreme disappointment to me

this is the best Sun eater book in my opinion it is where it truly manages to in my opinion impress upon the reader what exactly Sun eater is why it is special why it's so damn good at being exactly what it wants to be

Dracula's great it's an a tier easily it still holds up to an a tier this long on

I'm that weird hipster who doesn't like Dune but likes the Dune sequels

Dune Messiah is amazing

I am well aware is kind of some schlock right don't think that's controversial to say at all but it's really well thought out schlock

this is the first book in the sun eater series and also was one that I adored

this one is a really good time Terry pratchet at in his true form just having fun with jokes commentary satire really solid world as well great immersion

it's a wholesome read it's got some really well Rd action Bryce just really struggles with momentum setting in Stakes for me

I like Rage of dragons more substantially if I remember right but this isn't bad

murderbot as a whole is Nest here for me I absolutely adore murderbot

I think I was a little too generous in this review I remember having a regret around that if I remember correctly and I wish I'd put this a bit lower

I like the magic systems the World building the characters the pacing it's just a book without many flaws

there's still things to enjoy but it's not it's not up there if there's a must read for me at all

I was still really loving God emperor of Dune

going postal upon reread I not only think it's a fantastic starting point for disc world but in terms of the Standalone disc World Books they are all kind of Standalone but you know what I mean like it's it's very divorced from like the main series people talk about it might be my favorite outside of like the death story line

it does not hold up

definitely improvement over Red Rising but not as good as Morning Star so I'm going to put it middle of B

this book hit so good that it basically was when I was like oh you can do anything you want in Science Fiction and Fantasy

the second book I remember also being really well done

I'm expecting schlock no it's not schlock but it also lives up to that gunmal Gods Vibe

Harold the nth I remember liking I think so yeah no oh I'm trying to remember here this is we're now at early 2020 so I'm I'm going just going to safely say middle B

it's a play but it counts God this was awful

Bob vers is right there with Dungeon Crawler Carl such a good time has real emotional moments just kind of fun escapism

I think I was disappointing by the ending a little maybe I was bold I remember it being bold

I really liked howling dark sorry for touching my nose so much I was sneezing earlier now it's still tickling and Howling dark yeah it's it's probably going to be a tier

I'm not a serial killer was a good time I really like it's not boundary pushing amazing but I'm going to put it middle of B

it's pretty good porn I'm not mad but yeah it's G to go d it's not quality in any way shape or form

iron gold I'm just going to go I think I'm just going to go a

it's just not for me it's good it's just not for me at all

I liked it but I see so many flaws

alltime classic debatably the greatest American horror novel ever written

one of my favorite books of last year

some people's favorite green bone Saga book not mine but still s tier

Kindred is Octavia Butler at her finest

I'm just going to overlap those two right there and put two Sun eater books the top of a yeah that is just earned

Kings of the wild such a fun quick read

kushiel's Dart has so much to say it is deliciously thoughtful in how it explores sex in how it commentates on us through our approaches towards sex

I remember this being a very middleof the road Stephen King book just g whatever Stephen King just pumping something out not something I loved

Little Prince absolutely probably the best kids book I've ever read

Legends and lattes just a Exquisite book an absolute Delight the current King I believe of modern cozy fantasy

I don't think Rocko's strengths as an author come in the Nolla format as well as they do in the novel length

I remember this wasn't awful it was just very much so what I expected for an ambitious attempt at rebooting Star Wars or telling the Republic era of Star Wars

Red Rising is just getting better like it's just getting more solid as it goes on Pierce Brown is a writer is just more understanding what his audience wants and his strengths

I think I'm going to go Middle High SE for this but again I'm having a real hard time

Robin hob has a gift for writing hatred and so for that reason M ship yeah it gets s tier two

if I remember right this was good I can't remember it clearly but I think it's going to go like low a for me

I think this is going to be low B for me I think if I remember correctly low B I really I definitely saw the potential

I read this in school and it was immensely impactful on myself

this is where I really started to love it high a high a

more not the best disc World Book not the best death book very high a

lot of respect good amount of Love overall let's put High a

never die made me a fan of Rob J Hayes and I still am a fan of Rob J Hayes today this was a really interesting concept

I was not a huge fan of I have learned that this author what's his name the author Jay Kristoff is just not my style

not a whole lot of it sticks in my head this is just assassin fantasy which has never entirely been my thing

not only do I remember nothing of substance from it but what I do remember is unpleasant

it held up extremely well for my own personal preference it's not s tier but like quality-wise it should be S tier

Lee bardugo knows how to write a mystery she knows how to write a smart protagonist who can figure things out the atmosphere in this book is borderline unrivaled

all you're left with is obnoxious characters making dumb decisions in a half-baked horror idea

old man's War not as bad as starter villain so you know that's a thing I can factually say doesn't mean much but going D tier

orconomics is in that it's satire of a level of disc World which is such a huge compliment to give

there's so many things in Parable to se that are just like so true

Rob J Hayes if I remember right did pretty good on this but I don't remember my score off the top of my head so I think B

peace talks from The Dresden Files is not as bad as Battlegrounds but still where the problems are starting to come in and for me it's going to be middle of the road C

I am not going to forget the reading experience of China meville perito Street State I maintain the title of my video This Book is angry

project Hail Mary is the Martian not quite not as good and done a little bit more extra fantastic Al extra SciFi

it's like fine like it gets so much hate now cuz of the sequels so bad and it also has people who weirdly think it's like the best thing ever in reality it's just fine

Ready Player 2 is such a overflooded stagnant toilet of a reading experience that it somehow manages to stank up book one

if I remember right this is the one I vibed with the least of any abber cromi and it's going to go high SE

probably my still my least favorite red rising book but not horrible just it was good not great

I really liked that first book a lot I really did it was good

rhythm of War not my favorite Stormlight book hibe

I was really planning on getting through this whole series and then I read this one and went nope so not for me

I think it's a fun thing but the grand scheme of things it's not very important

I remember this I think it was just decent I think I think it was just all right

I think this is going to go high a

this one I did not like at all and it's not like I hate it thing it's just totally I'm not the audience for this

again when he does his stuff like child name books it's not for me that's a d tier

it is a biting commentary on religion it is maybe his funniest book and has some of the best characters reoccurring and otherwise from World in it

I really appreciate it as a very immediate commentary on Cyber Punk and I think it's really fun still but it has its flaws it has pacing issues some of the jokes kind of wear thin

soul Smith is another like low see it's just n this fine this is fine

I don't like Sanderson as an author when he tries to make books explicitly for children and yikes not for me that's a d tier for me

I would call it an awful read there's going to be people who disagree on that sure fine whatever just wasn't a single joke that landed

this one was not for me if I remember right I think I would like dislike it even more now

I can't remember it very well but that's a damn shame cuz I don't think I disliked it I think this let's go low B

black tides of Heaven very good not the most enjoyable but very good

this one was really good and helped me a lot for understanding why I have reactions the way I do to certain things

I really like the burning God the last book I just there was one thing in the ending where I was like oh I wish you hadn't have made that choice

that's even better than eye of the world

I think I like this a little bit more than the first one so I'll put it middle of be

love this love this definitely kind of in that awkward transition stage for Fantasy but sits in it very well

I love the first Wheel of Time book St you can't change my mind

I remember respecting it I think I read one of the maybe both the sequels I think I'm just going to safely put this in super high a

we have a Wheel of Time book I'm going to surprise nobody here and put this in the S tier

this one tonally was kind of a mess character-wise it was absolutely a mess

I definitely was not a big fan this is going to be C for me kind of a middle of the road C

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of my favorite books of all time

I consider Grace of Kings to be a genuinely artistic Endeavor that was telling a story so impressively and so distinctly in style from almost anything else I've read in recent memory

It's Wheel of Time but Heist how could you not love Wheel of Time but Heist

I think some people consider this their favorite abomi it's not mine but it's tier

that's a big boy there a good big boy that's a good Big Boy middle a here

I thought it was okay at best like I can see why you like it but it's it's low D for me

it's a romance concept but it's twisted it's got some really interesting character choices and a good mystery

it was exciting like it was really exciting to be like oh damn like we are getting some like MCU but from one consistent vision in mind

this was fun really fun I'm going to say hi B yeah I have a soft spot for The Magicians for some reason

the Martian's great fun definitely my favorite Andy Weir book still

it does hold up pretty darn well it is a great read especially if you want to just read to your kids or something like that

this was good it was okay Stephen King okay for Stephen King is usually a safe bet to be a weak B tier

the passenger I get it just misfire Ju Just it was a misfire I'm sorry this did not work and it really fell apart

it's a very good historical fiction book and I'm going to put it I think it's got it there's some things that people would be upset about in it today but I think it's an a low a

I used to think this have this a lot higher before I read more fantasy but I'm still going to go middle of B flow be for poppy war

I love Rage of dragons Rage of dragons is going to go in a very solid High a it's a little simplistic at times it has some writing issues but it makes up for that with passionate

this is without a doubt the most difficult book I have gotten through in terms of just like oh it's quality but every page is just oh God damn it

I remember it being bad it's an F for me this one was pretty bad not a fan

guess what Wheel of Time book oh my God s tier

it's just John Gwyn improving his craft slowly like the guy just gets better and better at what he's trying to do and this might be his most ambitious project yet

it's beautiful it's a wonderful retelling it's so much fun it's imaginative

The Stand by Stephen King great book this is going to be an immediate s

sunlet man is no doubt Sanderson doing his Indiana Jones impression but it's a good time I really like sunlit man

sord of Ken is a great read from ml Wong probably the first ever Indie book I came across that is a solid s tier

I've read it in the years since then and it's brilliant this is going to go s tier

the S tier who could have seen it coming

this is a great story it is a so far ahead of its time and its influence on so many stories to come even reading it now in 2024 is blisteringly apparent

this is still my favorite Stormlight Archive book and it's a high S

will the mini damn good right up there with demon and white High s tier

we're going to take Joe abomi book we're going to put it in the S tier and we're going to move on

this book is overtly and deliberately homophobic and sexist

his book I thought it was good I didn't love it let's call it C tier

theft of Swords has just a vibrant heart of friendship at the beginning of it an average Fantasy World but it makes up for its lack of originality in some ways with just having a ton of a of a heart to it

it's beautiful this book in every single sense of the word is Beauty on the page

tagana is so influential for so many books that a lot of people have read without people knowing it

this is a Christopher pinii book that was fine it definitely has its weaknesses Pini is grown as an author but not totally evolved to the point where it's like instant great

which one do I like more I don't know they accomplish such different things both so well

I know I liked unsold even less than soulsmith

I still don't think what we consumed was great but I will call it acceptable it's a it's a low C tier for me

there are Quality Concepts interesting immersion in World a lot of neat stuff and upon a burning Throne it's just for my enjoyment didn't land really for me at all

uzamaki is some good weird but then it kind of falls off you know like there's whole short stories in Uzumaki that I would give a d there's some I'd give in s it kind of averages out to a b

War breaker is Great War breaker is solid idly going to be an a for me

Warrior of the alai it wasn't great it was a d tier

it ended up not utilizing a very cool magic system in a way that actually captured my imagination at all I found the characters to be more taxing than anything else

Words of Radiance easy High a easy High a easy High a

it's a great one I really like Yumi and the nightmare painter I can see this being some people's favorite Sanderson book
