r/fantasy's Top 50 Fantasy Books (2018)

Strongly stood out from established fantasy in terms of having a new approach to telling a fantasy story. Neil Gaiman knocked it out of the park here and I pray I will I will never not give American Gods and what he's going for there praise because I love originality and it's it's so original.

Dune is not one of them. it's one of those books where I respected the world building, which was great, but nothing else had any appeal to me. I found the politics to not only the story be boring, but it was told in a very boring, non-engaging way.

I'd love to know what some of the justification for that might be because I just found Warbreaker to be just all around better character, better plot, better world just from a reader engagement, not even preferences, just what was presented to me to be better over Elantris by quite the stride.

I've been disappointed by book two and book three gave me some hope for the future.

I would personally put Elantris below Emperor's Soul and bump up Emperor's Soul a little bit on this list.

Princess Bride, an absolute classic. Seeing it lose 27 points is a bit sad, you know.

I liked Watchmen when I read it. It was good in terms of story and depth. I appreciated the art more than anything else and I think it's very standout art style is a large reason it's held so high among the comic book community.
