"The last 10 years have been a glorious time for fans of fantasy. We've been blessed with stories from authors of varied backgrounds, taking place in worlds familiar and strange, with stories both wildly original and based on a wide variety of mythology, folk tale, legend, and fairy tales. In sub-genres from low fantasy and magical realism to high fantasy and sword and sorcery, there have been a plethora of fantasy reads to satisfy every reader.
I've collected 42 of the very best of the best fantasy from the last 10 years. I liked the roundness of 2012 to 2022, though, so it's really 11 years. These are primarily adult titles, with some young adult gems to round out the list. There's everything from (d)jinn to witches to dragons; star daughters to moon daughters to bone shard daughters; goblin kingdoms to sea kingdoms to cities of brass. In short, there is something for everyone." - Annika Barranti Klein/Book Riot
