30 Best Fantasy Books Readers Can't Put Down (Reader's Digest)

"Escape your real life—you know you want to. The best fantasy books will let you do just that as you enter their epic dream worlds brimming with magic, myth, and all things supernatural. Nothing is off limits in these books that make the impossible possible in their pages and will completely transfix you. The fantasy books on our list are a mix of stunning debuts from new authors and stalwarts of the genre whose writers have penned entire series you'll devour. While some are classic books that easily qualify as some of the best books of all time, others are more recent best sellers and young adult novels with thousands of five-star reviews and enthusiastic fans breathlessly waiting for the next installment. We also included a number that have been made into feature films or hit TV series or have adaptations in the works, since they have made (or will soon make) a serious impact on pop culture. You definitely won't be disappointed." - stage.rd.com
