Top 100 Fantasy Books of All-Time (#60-#51)

Reviews12

what I believe is the plot the pacing the World building the writing techniques themselves are elevated from that first book... you don't get those Logans you don't get the characters like laka who are pretty beloved you just get everybody that's pretty good

Jade LegacyFonda Lee
Mixed

Fonda Lee just created a masterpiece... I wasn't overly thrilled with how the very end of this book went and how the whole story wrapped up but don't get me wrong I liked the very ending of this

Memories of iceSteven Erikson
Loved it

there were these two characters or three characters really that showed up in the third book memories of ice that are in my opinion just wonderful characters they're these two necromancers and their manservant and they are hysterical and a very dark way

the plot and the pacing and the characters in this book are wonderful they feel like they were written by Ericson that's a good thing... the one negative that I would say about this is that I don't feel like he nailed every character in this in the way that Ericson did

RuinJohn Gwynne
Loved it

the faithful and the Fallen books they get better and better every time each of the books is better than the one preceding it

This book is fantastic from start to finish and the fact that Sanderson was able to seamlessly pick up a series that had already had a dozen large books written in it is nothing short of remarkable

when I read it I was like why did I take so long it was this awesome mix of like horror and mystery and Thriller and fantasy and I normally don't like those kind of things except for the fantasy part but it blended it all together and it was wonderful

the follow-up book and I was reading these in chronological order not publication order it made me laugh out loud consistently it gave me this huge grin on my face at all the other times that I wasn't laughing and it's honestly I really think that at the time of reading it was the best book that was under 200 pages that I've ever read in my entire life

the second book took that and just ran with it so it took everything I loved about the first one and injected things that I already love and love more than I like the first book

The WolfLeo Carew
Loved it

when I read the wolf it felt like I was reading something that was going to end up incredibly special as a series it felt like it gave me those same feelings that something like a Game of Thrones gave me when I first read it and I was excited

Towers of MidnightRobert Jordan
Loved it

the second half of this book really explodes in an incredible way and in true Sanderson form it just had that classic sander lanche everything was building towards it
