Paste Magazine's the 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)

"While fantastical stories have been around since before the written word, they've gone in and out of fashion throughout history. But the 21st century has been a particularly fruitful time of fantasy literature, with J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series ushering in an era of both publishers willing to take a chance on new fantasy writers and readers opening themselves up to worlds of magic."
"This list boasts everything from Young Adult novels brimming with magic and violence to high fantasy epics chronicling war and drama. We've limited our picks to two books per author, and these books include entries in multi-volume series, standalone novels and a collection of short stories. Nearly 150 titles received at least one vote, but we've narrowed it down 50 books we recommend without reservation."
