The Best Fantasy Books Of All Time

By Gregory Murphy


Some of the titles that are hyped and marketed in the media will greatly disappoint ardent readers. The stories are only meant to boost sales and are not based on the reality within the pages. The only way to know the best fantasy books is from a keen and experienced reader who understands what the genre stands for. Here is a list compiled with precision and devoid of personal or marketing bias.

A Game of Thrones is the work of an author by the name George R Martin. This remains at the top any other title written in history. It has even been turned into a series. The writer is a master of weaving several stories that run concurrently. Martin has no mercy even for the main character. This does not affect the urge to flip through the pages. In reality, you can never predict the winner or loser in this novel.

The place of Patrick Rothfuss is secure in the list of writers for fantasy lovers with his book The Name of the Wind. Behind the hero are a woman and a boy whose paths have crossed in a way that changes their lives forever. The boy is on a mission to confront destiny. Rothfuss has gained a reputation of precision with his words and actions through out this story being perfect and purposeful. This novel will reward each minute you spend on its pages.

The Blade Itself stars a reluctant hero, breathtaking action and black humor. It is a combination of ironies with a barbarian who is reluctant to kill, a dashing hero who fear is fighting and torturer with the most amazing heart. The plots are heavily twisted with the characters being unforgettable. It ranks high among the best titles you will ever encounter.

Ireman M. D is the hand behind The Axe and The Throne. He has perfected the ability to capture your imagination and transfer you into a world that is impossible to exit. He packs enough pain and darkness on every scene but always has a jubilant moment to spice it up. The plot is out of this world with the characters executing it in an unbelievable way.

No serious reader can fain ignorance whenever Tolkien J. Is mentioned. The Lord of the Ring is his latest series and already an epic across platforms. He draws his inspiration from his encounters during WW I, English mythology and adds a dose of creativity. The book can never compare to the movie by the same title.

Post-modern fantasy is perfectly exhibited by Lev Grossman in The Magicians. There is no repetition of Cliches, heroes or plots. In fact, Lev presents heroes who also have to deal with human weaknesses like depression and post-traumatic stress.

The list of excellent fantasy titles goes on to include the series called Disc World by Terry Pratchett, Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch and the works of Brandon Sanderson entitles The Way of Kings. Some of them are single titles while others have metamorphosed into series. Though others have been turned into movies, nothing beats flipping through the pages and working your imagination up.
