The Portalist: 25 of the Best Fantasy Trilogies to Get Lost In

"Thanks to the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, many fantasy readers have grown to expect their stories to come in the shape of trilogies. While this structure can sometimes get away from the author's original intent—A Song of Ice and Fire was initially envisioned as three books, for instance—the fantasy trilogy remains a staple of the genre. And as the genre has matured, its themes, scope, and vision have expanded the classic epic structure introduced by Tolkien's foundational work. But never let it be said that epic fantasy doesn't still have its place within the genre." ~The Portalist
