Obviously, this is not a Top 10 ranking. There are probably 50 more books I could have added! Let me know if you want a part 2 😊

@katalyze101 27 дней назад

Yes please do a part 2 and 3 and 4 ;)

@lorifrederick2367 27 дней назад

And 5 & 6 😊

@stevehoran6011 27 дней назад

Yes, Yes

@gigglingchicken8444 26 дней назад

I have a spin the wheel for my tbr when I am not sure what to read next with over 300 books and it landed on I am Legend. A few minutes later I clicked on this video and its the first one on your list! The universe is telling me I need to read this book next! I can't wait to start it tonight.

@debyik 27 дней назад

I'm excited that I've actually read 7 of the books on your list and I totally agree with your choices!

@SlowlyGoes 27 дней назад

Love that you just get straight to it!

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

👊

@jlodomauthor 27 дней назад

Compelling list! I loved Assassin's Apprentice, and the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (although Till We Have Faces is my favorite Lewis fantasy by about a million!!!) and all the rest of these are high on my TBR! I've read Grace of Kings and you've convinced me I need to continue the series.

@horonin 25 дней назад

All but two of these were either already on my TBR or I have read so I'm doing pretty good and will look into the others. Thanks for the suggesitons!

@TheBeardedBookBeast 26 дней назад

Great list! I want to check out all of these!!!

@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy 27 дней назад

An excellent list, Johan! I found myself nodding in agreement many times during the video. I'll be starting Dandelion Dynasty later this year, and your praise for The Wall of Storms has me excited for it. Thank you for the video!

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Thank you, Philip. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on The Dandelion Dynasty!

@marcinsznn 27 дней назад

Thank you for giving motivation to read the wall of storms :) I've read Grace of kings some time ago and I really enjoyed it. Wall of storms is on my shelf for a while. Pity that polish publisher decided not to publish last two books in that series, so I will have to read them in the future in English. Hope it'll be worth it.

@tobiasschumacher8602 27 дней назад

Needful Things and I Am Legend are soooo good. Definitely need to check out the rest of your list.

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Both awesome books!

@captainaomaruvomexekutivko4919 27 дней назад

great video once again 👍

@Danny_Matson 27 дней назад

This was great. I thought for a second it was just gonna be a mashup of ten popular fantasy books but you chose some unique niche ones. Your content never disappoints!! Added Invisible Life to my tbr.

@libraryofaviking 27 дней назад

Thank you for the nice comment!

@alusarmiento 27 дней назад

I read Piranesi this past weekend and I'm still thinking about it, so I think you hit the nail in the head there. I would also add This is how you lose the time war, it was a very powerful read for me as well.

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

So glad you LOVED it. I am yet to read This Is How You Lose The Time War!

@StoryGirl1128 27 дней назад

Love your list! Definitely agree with Piranesi, I still go back and reread that one from time to time. One of my absolute favorites of all time that will always have a place on my shelves is The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin. Probably not a popular opinion but 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just love the way he writes, and the ending is so satisfying to me. Thanks for sharing!

@libraryofaviking 27 дней назад

Glad you enjoyed the video!

@michelleizoco 27 дней назад

Babel was a DNF for me - a book that centers on linguistics and then has a bunch of language foibles - made it hard to read. I also felt the characters really bland and I got halfway through and just couldn't care enough to read more. I'm very excited to read the Sword of Kaigen for all the things you said and more. I just bought the Illustrated version of LotR and I'm hoping to reread the books this summer. I used to read it each year for about 10 years but it's been a long time since my last re-read. I bought the Farseer trilogy and I'm so excited to start my Robin Hobb journey. I'll make sure to keep tissues nearby. Great list!

@BridgeburnerToni 22 дня назад

I agree 100 percent, the book was bland and lifeless.

@kirsireima5758 14 дней назад

As a translator I was quite expecting to read this, since I'd heard good things about it and it's not everyday when you get a fantasy book where translation is in such a major role. Boy, was I dissapointed. I ploughed through just to see if the book would eventually deliver, but no. It was just bland and a bit simplistic and I never really managed to wrap my head around the magic system. I also feel I wouldn't have missed a thing had the book been 200+ pages shorter. And, of course, it didn't help that the Finnish translation had loads of typos and even missing words.

@amy_harboredinpages8272 22 дня назад

I'm moving Grace of Kings up on my property to get to. I'm also planning to re-read LOTR later this year.

@ithrahmunchswallow468 17 дней назад

The one that always pops into my head and was my favorite novel for decades is Ender's Game.

@katalyze101 27 дней назад

@libraryofaviking can we get a Bookshelve tour please?

@mtngrl5859 22 дня назад

So many great recommendations. I love Robin Hobb's, she is one of those writers that one can re-read her books again and again.

@rajtheleepan 27 дней назад

Nice video bro. Can’t agree more to your stand on the sword of Kaigen

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Thanks!

@DJOBrien 26 дней назад

For me it would have to be LOTRs, purely for the depth of worldbuilding, and recognition of Tolkien's incredible imagination.

@maryc3 23 дня назад

Needful things was one of my favorite Stephen king books it was so crazy 😭

@juliangomez3662 27 дней назад

Sword of Kaigen 🙌🙌🙌 Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay should be on this list too! Epic, masterfully written standalone. Keep up the great videos!

@jaimeosbourn3616 27 дней назад

There have been three adaptations of "I am Legend". The first was entitled "The last man" and starred Vincent Price. The second was "the Omega Man" with Charleton Heston. The third and worst was Will Smith's version.

@neiltaylor513 26 дней назад

I saw the Charlton’s Heston one, but ya you are 100% correct on everything

@rkgrkg 26 дней назад

Supposedly the VP version is the closest to the book, although for some reason, they changed his name to Morgan. Like you, I didn't care for the WS version, as an adaptation. It's a fun popcorn flick, but that's it. The book is so much deeper. I haven't seen Omega Man...

@jaimeosbourn3616 26 дней назад

@@rkgrkg Omega man is kind of meh. The VP is the closest to the book, I have it on dvd. It's an old black and white movie

@Danhibbert73 27 дней назад

Couple more for the TBR & full agreement on several more that I have read!!

@libraryofaviking 27 дней назад

The neverending tbr 😅

@SaveLockwoodNCo 27 дней назад

You should totally give Lockwood and Co a read if you haven't great book series!

@lw9117 26 дней назад

Jade Legacy would have to be on my list.

@CombativeRoboGuy 27 дней назад

I’m happy to hear that Addie LaRue worked for you. I just really tend not to care for romance as, pretty much, the main plot. It didn’t click for me even though I love stories that follow immortals.

@Charadan 27 дней назад

Interesting list! For truly memorable reads I’d personally add Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss for its beautiful prose and great depth of worldbuilding. Its mysteries and lore theories still intrigue me to this day.

@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels 27 дней назад

Interesting picks. I haven't read anything from Schwab as yet, and that SK pick is one I keep hearing come up as one of his best. Books 5,6,7 and 10 live rent free in my brain since I read them. Hard to argue with any of the list!

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Thanks for watching! I have only read Addie Larue but would recommend it!

@Talking_Story 27 дней назад

I have read 6 out of 10 and could agree more! The rest I can't wait to get to.

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Amazing!

@ithrahmunchswallow468 17 дней назад

Sword of Kaigan still has the single most heartbreaking scene in any novel ever!!

@GentleGiantJason 27 дней назад

I also love Needful Things.

@GabrielaSantos-ff7ij 27 дней назад

I really like your videos. From your list The lord of the Rings, The Sword of kaigen, Assassin's Apprentice love them. I would include the book thief and The book of disquiet.

@libraryofaviking 27 дней назад

Thank you!

@queenvrook 27 дней назад

I''m going to suggest "Childhood's End," by Arthur C. Clarke. Everyone I know who's read it just sat, stunned, for like half an hour after finishing. Meantime, I have "Kaigen" and "Piranesi" and "Assassin's Apprentice," just never started them, so I'm going to take your advice. Thanks!

@wolfme4030 27 дней назад

Unfortunately, the only reason I am Legend stuck with me was because of my dislike for it. Other than that, I am willing to give your other suggestions a try. I have got some of the Realm of the Enderings series and a few of the other books you suggested. Ken Liu is definitely on my radar. Thanks for the suggestions.

@GentleGiantJason 27 дней назад

Get list! I am Legend - amazing. Sword of Kaigen - one of my all time favorites. Robin Hobb - yes.

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Thanks!

@zgoldford7568 27 дней назад

I will say Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams has lived rent free in my head and I finished the series nearly a year ago. His series Otherland will definitely be with me for the rest of my life. The ending alone of that series is very very impactful in many different ways.

@erickgonzalez1058 26 дней назад

Have you read the continuation of the series yet? Curious as to whether or not these hold up to the original trilogy.

@IanTerronesReads 25 дней назад

I would put Dune on this list, it definitely still sticks with me!

@Maximus0623 27 дней назад

I still need to read Needful Things, but many of King’s books stick with me. Two that I think nobody will forget are Pet Sematary and 11/22/63. Pet Sematary evoked the most emotional reaction to any book I’ve read and 11/22/63 might have the best ending I’ve ever read.

@bobkeane7966 27 дней назад

Of the 6 I've read I can see why they are on your list.

@malindaph 27 дней назад

Maybe I need to reread Needful Things because I didn’t think much of it. And I’m a massive King fan 😅

@eggbert6900 25 дней назад

Id be very interested for you to check out my take on sword of kaigen - have dealt with loss and i think it was handled clumsily (whereas in something like pet semetary it was done masterfully)

@ithrahmunchswallow468 17 дней назад

I did a movie marathon of the three film adaptations when I read I Am Legend 🤪

@MoonLightAmethyst_ 24 дня назад

I think Vincent Price, adaptation of I am legend is better than Will Smith🤷🏻‍♀️ I am currently reading the Narnia series last year. I read two books last year. I’m not in a rush to consume it.

@whalesequence 27 дней назад

The Wall of Storms made me so angry woth a couple of the characters. No spoilers here, but wow I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm starting The Veiled Throne this week.

@thewatchfemme4051 27 дней назад

Enjoy! It’s the best fantasy series I’ve ever read. Happy reading!

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Happy reading!

@nazimelmardi 26 дней назад

Needful Things? Liked the movie too. Max von Sydow and Ed Harris… 👀

@bethchaisson2375 27 дней назад

One book I've read and has stayed with me was "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. I found out about it when I saw the movie first and found out the movie was based on the book. I then got the book and, needless to say, the book was so much better. The only thing I'll say about the book is it's an anti-war book, but Trumbo takes it into a different direction.

@erikaeriksson9840 27 дней назад

Love some, despise some. Needful Things- Yes, brilliant. King at his best. Piranesi - good read, for sure. Assassins Apprentice - Not my favourite by Hobb but really stays with me. The Sword of Kaigen - Have started a couple of times but it hasn't caught my intrest, at all. Will try again. Babel - Just no. Dull, unlikable characters without dept, living uninteresting lives. And I keep wondering: -If people of any other colour than white had been described across the board as stupid, mean, spiteful and unempathic as they are in this book, had this book been released at all? Or had it been labeled as racist?

@Steve_Stowers 27 дней назад

The Sword of Kaigen: I don't think you can really tell what the book is going to be like from just the beginning.

@Alithia451 26 дней назад

Robin Hobb is on my short list, but I didn't know she was a female. This is normally a no-go for me.

@lissavanhouten6628 27 дней назад

Yes, the Narnia books may be a Christian allegory, but there were so many pagan elements as well. Plus, as an adult I have major criticisms of The Last Battle. It was depressing and flawed. There was also the question of Susan (and what happens to the rest of the Pevensie children).

@MoonLightAmethyst_ 24 дня назад

I think Vincent Price, adaptation of I am legend is better than Will Smith🤷🏻‍♀️

@michaelkibble740 27 дней назад

I really thinking about Robin Hobb books

@libraryofaviking 26 дней назад

Hobb is magic!

@christophermullins3988 27 дней назад

Love the list, but Babel was so awful. Finished it quickly, but couldn't stand it

@teddited9682 27 дней назад

Sorry-but Sword of Kaigen is one of the most boring books I have ever read ! I only powered through because so many booktubers raved about it, otherwise it would have been a hard DNF!

@TraGiiXzaze 27 дней назад

Dropped Sword of Kaigen when the obvious twist came in. Did not care to continue with those characters. I can't relate to the people that think it was smart lol. Robin Hobb is a bad bitch though. Super dark books with sad characters. You'll start saying "all manner of folk" in your head all the time while you read it. There are 13 books in the elderlings world. I think RF Kuang is a terrible author lol. Awful characters, development, and writing in poppy wars and babel. Piranesi is a great book. I'll have to check out Ken Liu.
