100 Best Fantasy Books of 2015-2020

An entirely subjective list of the best fantasy and fantasy adjacent (soft scifi, horror, alternate history, etc.) books published between 2015 and 2020. No sequels, all books are either stand-alone or they begin new series. Tried not to go overboard on any one author.
