Over the last months, I've spent dozens of hours analyzing booktube videos, articles, Reddit, and Goodreads lists... I got more than 1000 books, so I ranked & normalized them to find the ultimate top 20 fantasy books you can't miss!
✨ Here is the link to the Google sheet where I did all the analysis (so you can check the +1000 fantasy books that were mentioned): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19Q3TDAft4C0ncOw8tootP79YWoGi5ZcM3zvdLQR14uk/edit?usp=sharing
