30 Best Fantasy Series

Agreed - great to see Lloyd Alexander in there. Missing Robin Hobb I think?

And I wouldn't have put Rothfuss in just yet - not until we see how he goes wrapping up his series perhaps

 

No David Gemmell?
No HPL?
No David&Leigh Eddings?

 

Yeah, some more big omissions (I'd even put Feist in there too maybe)

 

Top # lists are always fun, but this one like most is pretty flawed.

 

Here's a question - is there a Mythic Scribes Top 25 etc Fantasy Books list anywhere?

Would it be fun to make and vote on one - knock out rounds etc etc?

 

I like it...
As long as we can't vote for our own work or anyone else in MS...

 

Ace, good thinking. So, next step - would we open a thread for nominations and then eventually come to a shortlist via voting or via head to heads? Not sure the best way to run it but I'm willing to get the ball rolling a little

 

Smashing idea, I like it. I'll start a thread for Top Tens and we'll go from there. How about a deadline for Top Tens to be in? A week? Two weeks?

 

I know that individual tastes vary, and lists like this are very subjective, but I still find the lack of Gemmell and Howard somewhat disappointing.
