I love how their second recommendation for people new to fantasy is The Simarillion. I mean, this is a pretty terrible flowchart in general, but jeezus
Iirc Stardust does, in fact, have pirates. This chart is lying to you! Airship Pirates are pirates too
Airship pirate awareness!
mfw recommending Watership Down to bunny lovers 😈
I worked my way backwards from my favorite series: Assassins Apprentice (Realm of the Elderlings) and found that the path to this series is WAY off!
“Animals more your thing?” - NO!?!?!
The main character has the deepest relationship with animals I’ve ever read.
spoiler
He literally has a form of animal telepathy.
“Looking for an old-fashioned Trilogy?” - YES!?!?!?
The series is 16 books long. If you want to make the argument that only the Fitz books count, there are nine of them…
Is there a higher red version?
Thanks!!
I prefer the interactive one
Maybe I’m not looking hard enough but I don’t see The Expanse on here.
Also no Three Body Problem. Must be outdated.
I feel like ‘Dune’ should have been there somewhere. Maybe I’m missing it.
It’s in there as The Dune Chronicles. Just a little below the middle on the right-hand side.
Anyone who doesn’t think the dragon is the ideal pet, can debate me here please? (Without regards to which book is selected from the answer given)
Not as cute as cats, nuff said.
That would mean waterbears are better pets than cats?
Also cuteness factor can be overcome with a dragons horde of gold, see Hugh Hefner.
Discworld dragon, LOTR dragon, or Pern Dragon?
In my head I had lotr dragon.
Well, if it’s an LOTR dragon, and you’re Sauron, then sure. Otherwise, good luck being charcoal.
I mean, they are not really handy to walk
So are cats! Or horses, or (theoretical as to this list and discussion) unicorns. Horses and unicorns you can ride, as you could a dragon! Riding > walking 95% p value.
Is this generated from the 2011 article I find when I search? I would love to see an updated version.
I was expecting a lot more Discworld
Discworld really should be included in the sci-fi/fantasy combination section.
A few interesting picks and one just bleeehhhhh pick in the Drizzt series. There are ever so many better PnP based books, right off the top of my head the OG dragon lance series by Weiss and Hickman.
Also, I’m stoked that Furies of Caulderon was listed. That might be in my top three, and sadly it looks to have been abandoned by Jim Butcher.
I quite liked the rest of the Furies series. Didn’t you enjoy them?
I like to see my boy John Scalzi made the list
