The Best Fantasy Books for Every
Type of Reader

The best fantasy books provide an escape... they suck you in and don't let go until you've turned your very last page. And even then they sometimes leave you hungering for more.

There is nothing like falling into a world beyond anything you've ever dreamed to experience the wicked, wondrous imaginations of all your favorite fantasy authors.

Each and every page weilds a magic of it's own that entices you to read more. The characters are entriguing and heroic, and the stories are full of unimaginable adventure. A world beyond reality.

While we don't have a magic wand that we can wave to select a fantasy book for you, we do have the power to gather a list of what we feel are some of the best books to read in the fantasy genre.
