Top 25 Fantasy Books - IGN

Most of us have watched fantasy movies, from the outrageous spectacle of the Lord of the Rings trilogy to the comic genius of The Princess Bride. Indeed, the Harry Potter series has made the fantasy genre more popular than ever before, but how many of us have truly explored the foundations on which many of these movies are built – the original novels?
Of course, there are popular fantasy books that we all know and love, but there are also less well known epics every connosieur should read before they die, which is why IGN presents the Top 25 Fantasy Books ever written.
