TOP 10 SCIFI/FANTASY SERIES (2021) 

Also the gentleman bastards.

Isn’t it called an oopsy

A big oopsy indeed

Oof. Also, how dare you not include the objective masterpiece that is The Fifth Sorceress?

Same buddy But I'm here anyway

That's brilliant lol 🤣🤣🤣

How about a Brooks?

@@eshaanagarwal6081 yeah I was about to say, Brooks ain’t a bad kind of terry either

One could also say that a goodkind of Terry is a Pratchett, not a Goodkind.

@@vaibhavbhatnagar9188 how about be the good kind of Terry, Pratchett not Goodkind.

I like your profile pic

I'm about to get your profile pic and read it for the first time. So excited to dive in!

He is getting closer but he'll never surpass Gus Johnson attaching the mic to a gun XD

Total Gus Johnson vibes

I tried the first few books in WoT, and find there to be a crazy amount of whining. And find it hard to continue. I often like/agree with a majority of your recommendations. Do you not think they are super whining or annoying?

I do LOVE it, but I have... thoughts. I need to meditate on Dresden a bit.

Dresden files actually got me into reading for fun so I love it and changes broke me but I will say with the first 6 being noir with fantasy and as some would say the fan service elements in some of the later books I can understand why its and honorable mention

@@DanielGreeneReviews very fair I've never ranted about things I dislike in a series I love as much as i do in dresden at times.(looking at you Butters in peace talks)

@@DanielGreeneReviews I was wondering why you never really did a deeper dive into the two-parter from the summer. And to go from #3 on your list from last year to just an honorable mention. I am very curious what changed. Hopefully you will ruminate on your thoughts and share them. I get people taste change and that's cool. But that was a significate jump, so color me interested on your thoughts.

@@DanielGreeneReviews Maybe make a video on ur....thoughts?

This is just the truth

Yep

There is nothing that would contradict this theory. It must be true.

Hairloc Daniel

It was interesting, and gratifying, watching his opinion evolve as he progressed through the series. And kudos for admitting it.

@Dasset Who I bought Hat Full of Sky when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old and every year I find my love for Pratchett deepens. GNU Terry Pratchett!

Both Witcher, Dresden and Book of the Ancestor respectively dropped from top 2-3 spots throughout the past 2 rankings to not even being on the lists, GB isnt even the biggest dropout

Was meant to be an HM. That was a slip!

There's so many good book series tho, I suppose these are the ones that just stuck in his mind. Doesn't mean the others are bad. If you made a top 10 every month with daniel's reading list you'"d have a different one every time I think.

I think part of it is because he included sci fi series too. Those had to push some others out of the list

I couldn't even finish the 3rd book :/ So much of the characters and their 'wit' just came across so cringe and forced to me that it would make me irrationally mad

Don't give him ideas! I already see the nightmares xD

Greene Daniel, HO HO HO Daniel Greeeene Giant.

Ty

I love you

@@blacksoul_1078 thank you

Or little daniel speaking and big daniel is the mike...

*whispers* So good

Then he'll read the Fitz and the Fool trilogy and want to rip his eyes out

"Hold me closer, tiny Daniel"

speaking of Peter Pan, have you read the Peter and the Starcatchers series? I highly recommend it.

@@Harbz No I haven’t! I’ll have to check it out

I have one question. Is it like one piece which has a good story and everything is ridiculous and hilarious.

@@Kal_Al_Thor it's his old classic aburdism. It had compelling characters, good stories in an utterly ridiculous and funny world and situation.

@@Kal_Al_Thor You can see it as similar to one piece, but there is almost 0 fighting, it is not like shonen.

... want a mini spoiler ... I got this spoilt and for me it enhanced the experience but I didn't consent to it so I give you a choice. Would you like a little hint so as to enjoy the entire Realm of the Elderlings more?

'The Goblin Emperor' by Katherine Addison is a great standalone novel. I'd highly recommend it.

*Sir* Terry Pratchert, you dimwit

That is interesting because I don't love BS and could never get into Discworld. It kinda makes more sense now!!

Wouldn't his favourite author be Robert Jordan?

@@DrunkenGyarados You can have multiple favourites. You are confusing favourite with "most favourite."

@@shouvikroychoudhury7908 You are the one who is confused and clearly does not understand the english language. "Most favourite" is a superlative. It's just poor english and especially in this context is not correct.

I'm sorry to hear that you went/ are going through depression and anxiety. Please remember that we are always here and will understand if you ever need to take a break from youtube

Be gone, troll XD

I’m loving discworld. I got into it after Bradon Sanderson described it as one of his favorite pieces of literature and a large inspiration to his work. Terry Prachett hasn’t disappointed yet.

Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HERESY!!!!!!

I found the darkfriend

Yep WOT is one of the best, except the final books by Sanderson were garbage and utterly killed the experience. Robert Jordan’s world was like looking out a window on to a beautiful landscape, Sanderson’s attempts look like a childcare painting stuck on the fridge by comparison.

@@generaldamage3282 ironically I think stormlight has a high chance of surpassing WOT once completed with it's 10th book

It's good, gritty fun!

Some of my favourite characters in all of fantasy. Glokta is just evilly awesome.

Right? It’s my #1 for sure, and I get so excited when people love it. Especially people whose opinions I value!

Same. It's been my untouchable number 1 for the last 6 years.

Started falling in love with these books right after Golden Compass was released over 20 years ago, way before all the hype, when it was just this obscure little unknown title with an intriguing cover art...Gets me every time. I was beyond ecstatic a decade later when it became a movie & not so much when it flopped. But then HBO to the rescue! Bringing in a new age of fans & doing the book series some justice. Bringing the story to life in a way that the movie failed to do. Bravo for having it included on your list 👏

The biggest plot twist was witcher, book of the ancestor, dresden files, etc go from being in the top 5 to not on the list at all Lol

@@Harsh-th7im Yeah I am kinda perplexed by this list.

I think he is definitely affected by wanting to have the video to be different from previous years. I would expect this list to change by at least three entries every year even though it will not be because things were released in 2021 that will alter things (As many of these series are done and dusted). We can tell this from the very light touch on things he has already said a lot about. Daniel is a reviewer but he is primarily a You Tuber and he knows varying his content is key to encouraging growth. Simply repeating that the best series of all time last year are pretty much the best ten this year does not build interest. It is indeed the twists that will garner more looks otherwise why rewatch. I think he genuinely could put two dozen series in here and he will switch it up year on year.

I'm watching the series and I'm Hella interested in reading the books

No money. Only books.

Yo ho ho the pirate life's for meeee

This is a rundown of possible reading orders for Discworld: www.discworldemporium.com/content/6-discworld-reading-order Generally you can read them in any random order, if you want to puzzle out the chronological order yourself; publishing if you want to see the development of the writing style over the time; or the sub series in order which will give you everything you need in order and read the character's stories together. Daniel has a video where to start Discworld, titled: What you should know... before reading Discworld.

I went back and re-read all the books over the summer last year, and the way I did it was The Watch books first, because it's got a great cast of characters that are very easy to get attached to, followed by The Witches, then Rincewind and the Unseen University based books, Moist von Lipwig's books, the Death focused stories, and after those the stand alone stories. This was just my personal preference, the order in no way reflects the quality of the books, because really they're all amazing. Hope you enjoy your read through, wherever you happen to start!
